Hello,

I'm trying to stream-line and outsource a lot of the boring stuff, and was wondering whether anyone could recommend a service that can produce custom DVD/CD's for clients (you know - the standard DVD with hi res images files from the wedding)

Ideally I'd like to upload all my images to a gallery, and then be able to have that company burn a CD/DVD of those images, then drop ship in boutique packaging to my client. Even better would be the ability to upload graphics that could be printed onto the CD/DVD to futher personalise this.

I asked smugmug if they did this service and was really suprized they didn't, as I'm pretty sure it would be really popular.

If anyone knows if such a service exists - please let us know.

    No luck. I'm just trying to find a cheap enough place that will print blank DVDs for me. Most places want to print a large number for $700 or more.

    Are you looking for straight burning service? There are plenty of those but for very small quantities, it will be costly.
