When working on a large project, including huge quantities of slide scanning and negative scanning projects, it’s a good idea to know roughly how many images you can fit on a DVD. This way, you can better plan your discs out and include only the images you’d like on each DVD, without the worry of potentially running out of space.
The chart below will show you the resulting pixel and file sizes from your slide and negative scanning, as well as the max print size you can create from your scans.
| Output | Output | Output | Max Print Size | Max Print Size | Max Print Size | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Format | 2000 DPI | 3000 DPI | 4000 DPI | 2000 DPI | 3000 DPI | 4000 DPI |

Question: am I able to preview the super 8 mm movies before ordering to know which ones I want to transfer to DVD at your facility? My dad took a lot of movies…I also have slides, probably twenty films…
