Creation of 
video CD
Achievements
The objective is the creation of videoCD in order to be able to view our photos on a television set by using a DVD player.

The computer is only used for the creation of the videoCD.

The DVD player has the same function as a projector of slides.

For that all the photos available must be numerical, that requires a work of digitalization for our old photos on paper edition or slides.

Numerical photos 
Capture of photos To transfer from a digital camera or to scan  photos on paper edition , they will be improved or modified with the software to improve.

For the realization of videoCD we recommend :

  • A resolution from 150 to 300 dpi
  • Images with landscape format 10x15 cm
  • Save with JPEG format and a weak compression ratio
Slides 
DiapoNégaScan
The DiapoNégaScan adapter on the scanner
A not very expensive solution exists to digitize  slides or negative film with a scanner, it is the DiapoNégaScan adapter.

It is a pyramidal open box which is posed on the the scanner glass.
Inside this box, a set of mirrors high performances, will recover the light emitted by the scanner, and will return it towards by crossing the slide or negative film.

You must only place the DiapoNégaScan on the scanner surface of analysis, and to adjust a screw in order to collect the maximum of light.

In spite of the simplicity of the device the result is remarkable.

Slides capture
Slide must be scan at 1200 dpi
By fix the resolution of the scanner with 1200 dpi, we obtain a 10x15 cm digitized photo  with a resolution of 300 dpi. That is appropriate for our applications.

If the image is too clear, one of the two filters supplied with the device allows to improve the result.
