I have questions about rolls of film being put on Cds/Cd

[FlowersChild]

I have close to 30 rolls of film and to save money I am going to go to a store and have them put on cds/cd Anyways I called Walmart, Sams Club and CVS and they all said that they can only put one roll of film on a Cd. Sams club had the best price at $2.48 for each roll, so I will allready save a lot of money this way It cost around $7.99 if I get the prints so it would be like over $200 if I got them all printed out and around $70 If I put them on Cds at Sams, so I am allready happy with the money that I can save

Anyways I am curious if anyone knows of a place that could put more than one roll of film on a Cd ? Like if I could fit like 10 rolls of film on a Cd and save even more money that would be cool Does anyone know of a place that would do this ? Also what other places will put rolls of film on Cds ? I am trying to get the best deal I can I am allready happy with the good deal that I can get at Sams, but if I can find a deal that is even better that would be awesome

Thanks

A blank CD costs next to nothing. The real cost is in the time it takes to scan the film.

I recently had a film scanned, but forgot to be specific as to what resolution to use. It came back scanned at the equivalent of a 1.5 megapixel camera. OK for printing out 3 inch x 4.5 inch photos, but little else. I will have to get them scanned again at much higher resolution. My photo processing shop will do this, but each increase in resolution will cost more.

My advice would be to decide first what resolution you need, find a lab that you trust and will give you that resolution. Then take however many CDs necessary.

In the long term you will be very unhappy going for the cheapest scans you can get.

I have tons and tons of photos that I have had taken at DisneyWorld. I don't need to have all of them look the best they can on a Cd. If I did not have so many DisneyWord photos than I might not would mind paying a little extra to make them look the best they can on Cds. But I have over 1,000 photos so I just want to be able to view them all. They don't all have to look perfect on those CDs, I just want to be able to view them all.

There are some photos that I really like and for those I might spend a little more money for better looking photos. When I have these rolls of film put on CDs I will get the negatives back, so later I can take my best photos and just have those put on a CD and have them look the best they can on the CD.
