Showing Photos on TV

I have scanned some photos and I'm trying to show them on TV via my camera
(Sony DSCF828). I'm having very limited success. I have run them through
David Taylor's TV Writer and through Irfanview. I don't know why one will
work and the others won't. There has to be a simple answer, doesn't there?

generally speaking, sometimes a camera doesn't recognize a photo if it has
been changed since originally captured.

I have had good success showing pictures on my TV by copying them to a
CD or DVD on the computer and using my DVD player to show the pictures.
You can then use the CD/DVD as a backup of your pictures.

However, there can be problems depending on the DVD player. The DVD play
must recognize the picture format, and some DVD players have trouble if
the directory structure has too many subdirectories.

If you told us what works, and in what way what doesn't work fails,
someone might be able to tell you.

I've reached the depth of my knowlege. I've tried to determine just what
the difference is between two photos scanned in an identical manner at the
same time and found (apparently) no difference. Yet one will display and
the other will not when they are uploaded into the camera. If I could
determine the difference, I might be able to solve the problem.

By "run them through", do you mean that both programs were used to
edit/modify/save the jpg files? If so, and if you didn't edit all
of the jpg files in the same order, that might be responsible for
some not being viewable. I'd assume that TV Writer should always

be used last. In other words, if Irfanview is the last app. used
to edit a .jpg file, your DSCF828 will have problems displaying it.

I'll have to take a more organized approach to this and document the
procedures. I believe Irfanview was the last application. I was hoping
there might be magic program out there.

Look for a "TV PHOTO VIEWER"
It is like a card-reader plus has usb input and too some have HD output
(1080i) via component cables.
Target had one on sale for $30.

If you can see them on your computer, copy them to a CD and play the CD
on your DVD player.
The DVD player should be .jpeg compatible. Almost all DVD players of
recent vintage (3 years old or less)are .jpeg compatible.
