Roll Systems

CD Design

August 2001

Roll Systems handles large scale printing and publishing solutions. They were looking to convert a video created by Creative Works into a small digital video format to be used on a CD. Besides web work, I also have a video capture system that allows me to convert RCA inputs from video systems into compressed digital video. We took on the project and compared formats, such as MPEG and AVI, for quality and file size, since smaller CDs were limited by storage capacity.

After compressing the video, we created an autoexecutable CD that launches a web page with options. The page was already designed by someone else, so my job was to cut and build from it.

The CD was mass produced by Advanced Digital Replication.
