About PhotoActive DVD

With the explosion in popularity of digital cameras and home computers, amateur photos are of an increasingly higher quality. But after the pictures are taken, what then? Many times, files pile up on hard drives, and become difficult to find and maintain.

PhotoActive DVDs are a fun and innovative way of sharing and treasuring your photos and video footage, documenting your family history, cataloging photos and presenting a portfolio of artwork and photography.
