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.

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.

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.

Thanks. My DVD player is about 1 year old,and is the type that plays all
regions and types of DVDs, supposedly.

Hi Duck,

Thanks for the tip. I use Roxio for burning music discs,and will check
out if it has Toast or something similar.

I hope that you and yours and your home are safe,and that the fires are
diminishing.

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.

that's for movies.

a disc full of photos is not a movie disc.

either you make a movie and then burn the disc as a movie disc or you
burn a data disc organized in however your tv wants it.

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

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.
