Problem with photos to DVD-R or CD-R.
Hi,
I often find the need to send photos by discs,and have noted a problem. I use Picasa as my photo software. When I burn photos to DVD-R or CD-R, they play back nicely on my PCs. However, when I try to view them on my TV set via an outboard DVD player, I get the message that the correctly-named photo group is there, but they do not appear. Instead, I get an on-screen notice that no file is found. How can I burn edited photos from my hard drive to a CD-R or DVD-R, which will be viewable on a DVD player to a TV set? Thanks in advance.

Mort Linder What software and what disc data format are you using to burn these CD-R and/or DVD-R photo albums? I have found that the most versatile software for this sort of job is Roxio Toast, which is, Mac only. Toast will give you the option to burn a cross platform "Photo Disc" with full resolution images and automatically generated slideshows. I am sure the has to be something similar for Windows. http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/#overview -- Regards, Savageduck |

Read the manual for the DVD player. Newer ones (less than 5 to 10 years old) are likely to read multiple formats, but older ones only play video. You need to put the photos on the disk in a format supported by the player. The key thing you said is "they play on your PCs" - but they don't "play", they are files that PC's handle just fine. DVD's originally were just for playing DVD's. Some, now, do support multi formats. -- She hummed to herself because she was an unrivaled botcher of lyrics. -Nick (Gone Girl), Gillian Flynn. |

Read the manual for the DVD player. Newer ones (less than 5 to 10 years old) are likely to read multiple formats, but older ones only play video. They've regressed. About 5 years ago, most players would support still file formats, and more advanced video formats like MKV. But I noticed in the last couple years, some don't. A media streaming device is probably a better bet. Thanks to Rich and NoSpam for their replies. Mort |

Mort So far, so good, but not so much for many others. Where I am is currently the only Lake Nacimiento community not under direct threat. The smoke has been quite oppressive today, it has been like muddling through a low visibility, smelly haze. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The TV should take, via HDMI, any stream that the DVD player can decode. So it's not the TV as much as the player. |
