Transfuring color 35mm slides to a DVD

37chief · Jan 31, 2016

I know it's possible to transfer 35mm slides to DVD's. Is it a simple process? It will need to be for me. I would like to show slide pictures, on my TV anyway possible. Stan

One brand. The resolution will make a difference in price. The minimum IS About 2 megabytes per Jpeg image. less than that and they will be unusable on a viewable screen. I would purchase a terabyte external hard disk to store them on. I know you will be unhappy with less storage or less image quality. Jim

Here's another alternative. I get a kick out of this guy's videos, made in Hong Kong but you wouldn't know it.

I purchased a Wolverine Super F2D film scanner from B&H Photo for scanning slides into the computer. It worked well, cost was about $100. Plugged into computer's USB port.

Set your electronic camera up on a tripod with a remote trigger. Show your slides on a good clear screen and take an electronic picture of each slide. A little low tech but you can get some really good shots to show on your television. I've used a white flat wall with good results. A beaded screen can get a light reflection in the camera.

Both Andy and Janicholson are on the trail. I have down loaded very high res. color slides with a profesional grade scanner. You get a little template with it that you place the slides in and then scan them. It is like thousands of dots per inch if you go for max resolution. When they were shot with a Nikon camera the down loads were just as sharp. You are in the $150.oo to $200.oo range but that is several years ago. Electronics always advance and prices go down. Do a web search too on down loading slides.

Some of the top end Canon printer/scanner rigs have an adapter to scan slides. Other brands may as well. Once you've got them in raster form (likely .jpg) you can store them as you like.

Seems to me a big usb hard drive is a good first place and as you wish from there.

The easiest way would be to take your slides to a camera specialty shop and have them do the transfer for you. Transferring them involves using a high resolution scanner and is tedious and time consuming. Not very simple either.

I have an earlier version of this flat bed photo scanner that I used to
scan several hundred negatives and slides. It does a good job and
has the Digital Ice feature.
