DVD images

Not so. Some home DVD players can show jpg files, or other image formats.


The normal home DVD players can only play DVD and VCD.

If you ask around, it is still hard to find many people with DVD players
that can play everything. Do you want your stuff to be able to play in only
some, or all DVD players?

Pretty much any "normal home DVD player" made in the last 4 years will play
jpeg files directly off a CD. And until the popularity of the format (DVD, CD,
JPEG) wains, I think that will remain the case.

Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship/ As I squinted my eyes in the rain
For the ship had turned into the wind/ Against the storm to brace
And underneath the sailor's hat/ I saw my father's face"

What is the technic for burning photos to DVD and showing in a DVD player
with the TV?

Unless you have a specific reason for burning your images to a DVD, I'd
just burn them to a CD. Windows Xp has a basic CD burner built in, so
you don't even need any separate burning software unless you want some
extra bell and whistles. A TV set does not need images larger than about
800 x 600 pixels. Even at Superfine .jpeg quality that would translate
to an image less than 500 KB.

Bob:

I'd suggest using at least 2MP, since the extra resolution is visible on
those HD TV sets that are becoming more popular every day. So,
write the files larger today, and they will look even better tomorrow. }

Also, if you put the files on the CD at their full size, you've created another
backup of the files, and that is never a bad thing. Though, the DVD player
will slow down as the files get larger.

Third, my Panasonic player has a convenient zoom button. I was displaying
some 5MP photos on my EDTV (852x480) when I decided to zoom in
on some features. Guess what? With the extra resolution, the zoomed
view remained as unpixelated as the full picture view. Quite a nice feature.
