You will get 2 DVD or CD's: 1 for VCR and 1 for computer. We use only "Tayo Yuden" DVD's from Japan -- they made the first recordable CD, so they've been making them for a long time and are the most reliable I've found. They are printable, so please tell me what you want on the surface!

We use the Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro, the best copier available. Here is the information on it:

Overview
Minolta is a company with long experience in the world of film, and extensive digital expertise previously applied in the areas of office electronics and imaging (copiers & printers). They made somewhat of a slow start in digital photography, although their scanner line has shown good performance and value for the dollar. The last year has seen Minolta achieve leadership status in digital cameras though, with the introduction of their high-end 5 megapixel Dimage 7 prosumer model, the high end of a line that also includes the 3 megapixel Dimage 5 and Dimage S304 models. Now, they've updated the high end of their scanner line with the Dimage Scan Multi Pro, a scanner with eye-popping specs that can handle film from 16mm to 6x9 cm and everything in between.
The Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro film scanner competes with a number of other medium format models in the marketplace. Of these, we've thus far reviewed only the Nikon Super Coolscan 8000 ED, which we'll make reference to later in the review as we discuss comparative specs. With a list price of $2,999, the Dimage Scan Multi Pro brings exceptional capability to the desktop scanner market at a relatively affordable price. We see the Dimage Scan Multi Pro fitting the needs of users ranging from well-heeled photo enthusiasts, to businesses and professional photographers looking for top performance on a budget. In support of this market, we found the Dimage software did a particularly good job of providing the power demanded by pros, while remaining very approachable for the amateur.
