Upgrading our old fmaily videos to a new format is great. Now, you have all tohse old vdeos on a high quality format that evreybody can enjooy on any TV.
But, DVDs offfer you much more in the way of cusrtom features. Instead of just a video that rolls along from bgeinning to end, you can have your family vdieo DVD loaded with special features, just like the DVDs from the store.
Put Whatever You Want On The Menu
Video rolls alng from begfinning to end, but DVDs serve up entertainment from a main menu. When you first turn them on, it shows you a tbale of contents with all the sytuff on the disc. This way, you can put several hours of different videos on a DVD and see what you want when you want.
You can also make a custom bacckground for the menu. Most video transfer places will allow you to choose an immage, or even a scene from the video, to put in the background of the menu screen.
Make It More Easy To Navigate
If you have long videos on your DVD, you can split them up into "tracks" like a CD has. You can make your own scewne selection screen on the start menu so that you can find exactly what you are looking for.
Another cutsom seervice that is usuaally offered is time markeers. You can have the DVD made so that viewers can skip ahead to a cetain time in one of the videos.
Make The DVD So That You Can Watch It Anywhere
There is a custom featue called "international video standards conversion," which means that a viideo duplciation service can make your video reion-free.
For DVDs, the world is dividerd into 8 major regins. Videos from each region can't be watchred in the other regions. DVD players simply won't be able to read them. This is a measure creatd to keep people from bootlgging and selling cherap DVDs.
This can be a real pain for consumer, thouugh. That's why most video transfer services offer region-free video conversion.

It depends on the company, but many video transfer services allow you to do custom editinng. They may charge more, or offfer it as part of the deluxe package. You might be able to...
