When including traditional photos:
We'll scan of up to 50 of your traditional photos
-Photos MUST be removed from albums, backings, etc.
-NO photos larger than 8"x10" please
-NO slides, please. Have your slides converted to prints or
high-res digital files by a reputable photo lab.
For larger quantities of photos, have them scanned at your
favorite photo processing center, and copied onto a CD-ROM
Digital photos:
Most digital photos will work just fine, provided that their
original resolution is at least 72 dpi.and 720x480 pixels
in size. Older digital cameras that render images at 320x240
may produce blurred or inferior quality images.
For all photos:
Please send photos on CD-ROM, numbered sequentially in this
format: Your last name followed by three numbers, ( i.e. smith001.jpg,
smith002.jpg, etc.).
You must retain the copyrights to all photos
you submit to us for inclusion on a DVD. No copyrighted or
published images may be included without the written consent
of the copyright owners.
Image formats:
.jpg, .bmp, .tif, .tga are the acceptable formats for images.
Music:
By default, we use royalty-free music. Additional charges
may be applied for the use of copyrighted music. Please let
us know if specific songs or audio tracks are required for
your project.

Video footage:
NEVER send your only copies! Always make a back-up
copy of any tape you send to us.
JDSavage Productions will take every reasonable precaution
when handling your video to guard against tapes being damaged
in recording/playback devices during processing. However,
JDSavage makes no warrantee, expressed or implied, as to the
safety or playability of your tapes when they are returned.
You must assume full responsibility for any damage or defects
that may occur.
As video tape ages, it loses magnetic information.
When the footage is digitized for DVD, that poor image quality
can suffer even more, resulting in video that looks different
than it did on the tapes. Sometimes this can be minimized,
other times it can't. We'll do our level best to capture your
footage as true to the tape as possible.
If you want to simply transfer 30 or 60 minute
tapes to DVD, no problem. If you want to include only certain
segments of tapes on your DVD, the more precise you are in
identifying the areas of the tape to include, the better.
Use your player's "Display" feature to identify the time code
index of the start and stop times of the clips you wish to
use. Also include a brief description of the segment, (i.e.
"start - From the start of singing Happy Birthday - end -
after Mary blows out the candles").
Not all players track the tape position exactly the same way,
(VCRs are notoriously imprecise), so every bit of information
you can include will help ensure that you get what you really
want on your DVD.
