Are the files on DVD generally higher resolution and quality than what you can get from the microfilm ?
thanks,

Re: DVD vs microfilm
Hi MadDog,
Yes! The DVDs are much better. I've used the old microfilm rolls for years and I just started getting the DVDs at the beginning of 2008. For resolution and print quality they cannot be beat. I am now in the process of converting the rest of the microfilm rolls to the jpg format.
Best regards, Bill

Re: DVD vs microfilm
I was debating which to get - but the DVD is sure a lot more convenient. I dont suppose you are getting any rolls relating to the west front battles of 1944 ?

Re: DVD vs microfilm
Hi MadDog,
I only have microfilm rolls in the 1939-1942 time period. That's the time period I'm concentrating on in relation to writing my books, especially the Eastern front.
Maybe someone else can help?

Re: DVD vs microfilm
I figured if you were getting the same material as I was interested in we could split the cost.
So, each roll costs the same amount, no matter the size ?

Re: DVD vs microfilm
Hi MD,
Yes, each microfilm roll (or DVD) cost $65. It is aggravating to buy a roll for 65 bucks that only has a couple of hundred frames on it . But 90 percent of the rolls have about 1000 frames.
