Look at the back of your DVD player and obtain the brand and
model number. Then go to VideoHelp.com and locate the Search Player field. Enter your DVD player information and click Search. Scroll down until you locate your
exact DVD player's information. The compatible DVD media types are listed (DVD R, DVD-R or both). If your DVD player is NOT

7. Can I order a slideshow on VHS?

on CD, VCD or DVD.
8. Can you scan all of my non-digital photos?
Photos Transferred to DVD uses professional scanning equipment
and employs technicians trained in determining the optimal setting for each photo/image we scan. Because our scanning prices
are so low, we strongly encourage our clients to send their original photos and allow us to scan them at the proper resolution
- ensuring that your photos and images will look their absolute best. We can scan 35mm print photographs (up to 8x10 in size),
processed photos (like you get at Wal-Mart, CVS, etc.) and instant photographs (such as Polaroids). We can also scan paper
media, such as wedding invitations, newspaper clippings, wedding and graduation announcements, high school and college diplomas,
birth announcements, birth certificates, marriage licenses... just about anything! We can also include a separate photo-CD
of your scanned photos and images, in digital format, in addition to your DVD slideshow!

Digital correction of minor flaws is only available to our customers.
Photos Transferred to DVD is able to digitally correct most minor flaws such as:
Red-eye correction
Slight blurriness
Color / Tint imperfections
Minor tears / folds
Small amounts of lens dust
Minor spots / fingerprints
Some minor water / moisture damage
10. Can you scan negatives and slides?
At this time Photos Transferred to DVD can scan only print photographs.
11. How can I send in my photos?
If you have digital photos you can send us a photo-CD via postal mail. If you have
print photos you may send them via postal mail or via overnight/priority mail service if you are concerned for their safety.

12. What format/quality do the pictures need to be?
We recommend sending digitized pictures in .JPG format at least 100KB in size. The
larger the file, the better the resolution. We can also accept images as JPG (JPEG), GIF, BMP (Windows Bitmap), TIFF (Tagged
Image), and PNG (Portable Network Graphics). If you have a specific question regarding photo format or quality please email
us at Staff@yourpreciousmemoriesonline.com.
13. Will all of my original materials be returned to me?
Anything you send to Photos Transferred to DVD for inclusion in your slideshow (print
photos, paper media, music CDs, photo CDs, etc.) is returned to you with your completed order. We do not keep or discard anything
which is sent to us by our clients, and we handle your possessions with the greatest of care at all times.
14. Can I pick my own music?
Yes. We encourage you to pick music that you would like to hear with your slideshow.
If you own an original copy of the music you would like to hear, please submit the CDs with your photographs. If
you do not own the music, Photos Transferred to DVD will purchase it for you on your behalf and bill you accordingly.
15. Can you suggest music for my slideshow?
A suggested music list is available upon request.
16. Where do you get the background music?
All of our music is obtained and used legally. Photos Transferred to DVD DVD slideshows
are not intended for public presentation; they are intended and created for private use only. You can send us a CD containing
the music you want on the slideshow, or Photos Transferred to DVD will be happy to purchase your music for you through a legitimate
online provider, and we will charge you accordingly. Once the music is in your slideshow we delete the files so that they
cannot be used again. If you have concerns about the legality of using copyrighted music, please click here.
17. What if I want a refund?
Due to the time and labor involved in creating our DVD slideshows, Photos Transferred
to DVD does not offer refunds. However, if notification is received within 30 days of shipping, we will be happy to edit your
slideshow and make any required changes if you are not satisfied with your final product. Any errors (typographical errors,
sequence errors, etc.) on the part of Photos Transferred to DVD staff will be corrected at no charge to you.
