Happy to get acquainted with you.

I've also met many of their employees who are really great folks.</p> <p>For example, I purchased all three VideoTraxx libraries before they were retired for less than $200 each - Each one has over 30 DVD's filled with thousands of video clips I can (and have) used - In fact, I see them used on TV almost daily.  They are currently clearing out their older stuff with some offerings going for as little as $3.95 each - Stuff that originally went for $99 or more!</p> <p>So while I tout them often, I think you'll find others here who use DJ products on a regular basis.</p> <p>And as I've said, I cannot recommend them any more highly - especially at these prices!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-yearbook-background-for-dvd-menu#post-46848 Fri, 15 May 2009 12:40:28 +0000 EarlC 46848@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>R U SURE you're not on the digital juice payroll birdcat? :-)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-yearbook-background-for-dvd-menu#post-46847 Fri, 15 May 2009 12:33:23 +0000 birdcat 46847@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you plan to sell any of these, make sure you use royalty free images - There are many free royalty-free image sites out there (do a google search) or you can purchase libraries (Digitasl Juice has photos available in their original Editors Toolkits 1 &amp; 2 and Presenter's Toolkit - I don't know if they have any of these left so you'd have to call them) or you can use some of their very nice graphics in their JuiceDrops collections (look at <a href="http://www.digitaljuice.com">http://www.digitaljuice.com</a>).</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-yearbook-background-for-dvd-menu#post-46845 Fri, 15 May 2009 11:42:04 +0000 EarlC 46845@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>We do a number of graduation related productions from grad nights to parties, to ceremonies to asssemblies. I all our dealings with our high school, even middle-school clients, part of our production compliance calls for access to either a comped copy, or a loaner. Often we get a copy that was not "sellable" due to imperfections, but that meets our graphics requirements with no problem.</p> <p>On the occasion that we simply cannot get ahold of a current copy of the actual school's yearbook publication, we have often found usable yearbook prop/graphic materials are our local public, or school libraries, available for loan.</p> <p>Lastly, do a Google search for yearbook publishing companies in your area. Many of these have scads of old, out-dated, damaged or returned products sitting around their storage areas. You could get lucky and find for free exactly what you are looking for, representative of a printed publication for your video yearbook.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-yearbook-background-for-dvd-menu#post-46836 Fri, 15 May 2009 08:54:19 +0000 Eventvideoguy 46836@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Why don't you just create the background yourself.</p> <p>A camera some photoshop (or the Gimp) and you'll have a nice background that looks like a book</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-yearbook-background-for-dvd-menu#post-46835 Fri, 15 May 2009 06:17:55 +0000 XTR-91 46835@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>There are a number of ways to get images for private use (if you're not distsributing or selling)...
