    Pay a commercial company $1 or more per slide

    Buy an Epson Perfection V1500 Photo scanner with back lighting head and slide and negative holder (including 2 1/4 x 2 1/4) that scans up to several thousand dpi. for $150 or so, as I did.

    The slides have to be scanned. The best results will come from a dedicated slide scanner, but there are flatbed scanners that also do a passable job. If you don't want to invest in a scanner, seek out a company that provides such a service.

    Depends on the package you used to burn them with. Some allow this, some don't. You might try going into the disc with a file manager, to find out if the files have been burned individually or (as I suspect) as one great lump. If the latter, then you'll need the software you used to burn the files with in order to (maybe) get access. This is one of those times you're gonna have to bite it and see if it bites back!! In other words, there's no single hard and fast answer. It depends purely on the software used, and what it's done to the files. Hope This of Help Scots
