Dust off those photographs, slides and negatives to make a photo slide show or photo montage on DVD or VHS at Quality Audio and Video. Such memory videos are great for:
- Family Reunions
- Memories
- Weddings and anniversary parties
- Graduation and sports banquets
- Telling a life story
- Birthday and Holiday gifts for friends and family
- Retirement parties
Typically 100 pictures will create a 16.5 minute video. We work with photographs, slides, digital camera memory chips, images on a CD or DVD, and pictures in books. Also bring or send in your favorite music on records CD's or cassette tapes.
