DVD vs CD

[Charles_Matter]

Yep..and it's not mis-communication...more like 'assumptive expectations'. She's playing dumb and trying to hook me for the extra service. This is going to get interesting when she starts putting her albums together...
I don't offer DVD slide shows anywhere in any of my price lists...and I don't want to. Her contract is very clear about what she is getting..and my price list is very specific. When I finally pried out of her that she wanted to "show the jpegs on her TV like she does with the discs she gets from OneStop Photo" I figured out what she was doing. One of her friends got a DVD slide show...(as an extra service)..so she wants one, too. I'm just going to take the files to One Stop Photo and have them do it.

I'll start offering DVD slide shows "that will play on your TV from your DVD player"..for an extra charge. This will head this off in the future.
Advice (anyone who's done this)..I don't want to screw around with doing it myself (so I'll take it to One Stop Photo..and mark it up.).
Wondering, though how my RGB files will display. Should I bother to edit these in PAL..or whatever??

It might be worth being aware that there are DVD players out there that will take a CD of .jpegs (just a folder of files, no authoring or slideshow) and present them as a slide show. Your bride might have such a player...which would give her a slideshow from the CD of jpegs she'd get from OneStop...making her think it was a DVD.

Yeah..funny you should mention that. The whole thing was for a "family gathering" last weekend. When I finally figured out what she really wanted late Thursday..there was no time to send it to a video guy I know to set the files up in the authoring software. So..I took a shot and burned the files on a CD as jpegs ...not in a folder. She e-mailed me on Sat am said it wouldn't open,,then again on Sat night..said it opened in her other DVD player!!

Lesson learned..
Thanks for the input..
