PC pictures to a CD that can play on a DVD player?

[satans worm]

Help!
I have taken over 700 pictures on a digital camera from a 6 week trip in Singapore, downloaded them onto my laptop and patiently put them in 'order'. I then burnt them onto a CDRW but when i attempt to play this on my DVD player it does not show them in the order I burnt them. If I play the CD back on a PC then it is fine, it just doesnt like being played through a DVD player.

So, how do I burn them to a disk that will play on a DVD player? Any ideas?

Will all dvd players show jpegs or whatever? I know one of mine doesn't

Does it play them at all? It sounds like the sort order is your only problem, correct? If so, what order does it play them in - alphabetical?

one use nero and burn it to a dvd not a cd. Then it maybe because of the layer of the disk some dvd players are fussy about what type of layer disk they will play.

It plays just 4 of the 700 odd ?!
Is their a different way of formatting the disk to something like a VCD format?

CDRW is a PC format, CDR is a dvd player format, try putting them on a CD in the root directory, ie no folders and burn it, so that the disk finalises, ie is made permanent.

parents had similair problems

OK, getting p1ssed now :rant: still cannot do this!!
have tried to copy and paste the jpegs onto a DVD+RW, the DVD player (a new panasonic all singing all dancing recorder) says format is incorrect?! So I allow it to format the disk(and wipe the data) then go back to my pc to to copy the files again, except mow my pc wont do it as it states it has copy protection :rant:

Please, can some one tell me (in very simple terms!!)how to record files from PC to a DVD+RW that will play to a DVD player? I would rather not buy any additional software unless it is impossible to so without it

You help is appreciated

I would stop using re writable discs... get either a normal CDR or a normal DVDR plus or minus it doesnt matter and just burn the pics onto the root of the disc.

I have used HT DVD Author in the past to create fully bootable DVDs with menus etc. Piece of cake to make slideshows from jpegs and the end product will spin up in any DVD player.
