Copying your DVDsWritten by CD Duplication Plus
DVD copying is useful for many reasons. Music DVD sales doubled last year and should continue to grow. When you buy a DVD you should think about buying DVD copying software and equipment so you can have an extra copy available. It is not legal to use DVD copying to make copies of movies, games or music you don’t own but if you have purchased a DVD, CD, or game, you can make a back up copy. There are so many new DVD’s on market and you may want to buy DVD copying equipment so you can be ready when you need a back up copy of a new purchase. The recording industry has suffered lately so labels are looking in vaults and archives for video possibilities. There are concert films, documentaries, and all kinds of music DVD releases that have come out recently. After you buy any of these you can use your DVD copying software to make an extra copy. Just make sure you are not selling these copies to anyone. Now you can find a variety of video packages featuring all sizes and prices. They are beginning to compete with Hollywood movies. These music DVDs are very popular and are selling well almost everywhere. One of new DVDs coming out this spring is Fade to Black. This is retirement concert of Jigga at Madison Square Garden. Beyonce, P. Diddy, Missy Elliot and Pharrell also perform. AC/DC has a two-disc set called Family Jewels, that will be released soon. The late vocalist, Bon Scott, is featured and also Brian Johnson. There is a lot of rare footage on this DVD and when you buy it, make an extra copy with your DVD copying software. The Ramones have a documentary coming out this spring called, End of Century. This documentary is funny and kind of sad and tells about late Johnny, Joey, and Dee Dee. Public Enemy, Devo and Phil Collins have DVDs that will be available soon.

Are you getting exasperated with all stacks of negatives and prints warping into unruly shapes and colors that’s been holding your desk drawer hostage but haven’t got heart to deposit them into dark recesses of your attic/basement?Fret no more! By scanning your pictures, you will be given an opportunity to edit and organize your pictures. Once your images are digitized, you can export it into Photoshop to make adjustments. Also, by having your prints or negatives get digitized, you get to archive, e-mail, fax, save them to a CD or even publish them on a website. You may even get to build a photo gallery and let your whole family and friends access them. Scanning technology has come a long way since being introduced. With only about US$150, you can already have a fine scanner with all software you need. Of course if you fancy a scanner that handles slides and negatives, you’ll invest a little bit more than this amount. Before rushing out to buy a scanner, do some research on gadget, first, like figuring out features you need and how much you want to spend. Then, know scanner jargons that describe it’s factors and features. There are two crucial measurements when it comes to scanners – bit or color depth refers to number of bits of image data scanner will use for each pixel, and resolution/DPI, which tells you how many spots of information there are in a given area. You have to consider other features, too. Like scanner’s speed, ability to scan negatives/slides, software bundles to manage scanning process, interface between your computer and scanner, and scanner size.
