------------------------------------------------- Answers to Questions ---------------------------------------------------


What type of hardware is recommended?
A PC with a processor speed of 1 GHZ or higher, 512MB of RAM and Windows XP or Windows 2000 as your operating system. You will want at least 5GB of free space on your hard drive to store the photos and shows you will produce. In addition, if you want to create DVD’s, you will need a DVD burner – we like the Plextor brand. They work well and cost from $150-$250.

What is the difference between DVD+ and DVD-?
Like VCR tapes that had both Beta and VHS formats, DVD’s also come in two formats called DVD+ and DVD-. This difference only matters when you are writing to a DVD – virtually all players will read either format. Pay attention to which format your DVD uses when it writes and make sure the DVD’s you purchase support that format.

How do I create a DVD version of TimelessTributes™?
Please review our online DVD Publishing documentation. It will take you through the steps of creating a DVD version of your show.

How do I create DVD labels?
You can use any DVD labeling software to create your label. We provide labeling templates of each background that can be used by most software. Use these if you want your label to match the background you used in you TimelessTributes™ video. Please beware that labeling DVD’s can cause problems if the label isn’t properly adhered and balanced. DVD players spin these discs at extremely high speeds and the label can create an imbalance, making the disc unreadable. We are negotiating bulk pricing for pre-printed DVD’s. Email us at support@timeless-tributes.com if you are interested in purchasing them.
