You can create DVD shows using 35mm slides.
There a number of programs included with most new computers, available as a free download, or that can be purchased which allow you to convert your 35mm slides and create a DVD slide show complete with music. Before you can create this type of DVD, you will first need to have your slides converted to digital files so they can be added to the program. You can convert slides to digital files by scanning them into your computer using a flatbed scanner.
Instructions
1. Turn your home computer and flatbed scanner on. Using the scanner's software you have installed on your computer, select slides for scanning and create new folder where your scanned images will be saved to.
2. Arrange and prepare your slides to be scanned. You may want to scan all of your slides, or just the ones that will be included in you DVD. Prepare your slides by cleaning them with an anti-static cloth. This cloth will remove dust from your slides and help prevent additional dust collecting on your slides during the scanning process. Scan the slides to your computer as you normally would and save them to the new folder.
3. Open the DVD software of your choice. Import the slides you want to use for your DVD into the software and arrange them in the order you want to show them. Add music (if you want) to your show, by selecting a music file from your computer. You can also add narration to the DVD show by recording the narration on digital voice recorder and saving the file to your hard drive.
4. Adjust the viewing time of each slide to that matches the length of your music or narration audio file. This is usually an automatic function that you can select through the DVD editor.
5. Save the slide sa DVD. After you have completed the slide show, insert a blank DVD into your DVD burner on your computer. Name your slide show and save it to the DVD.
