I am trying to burn a cd from the pics and videos off my digital camera. I downloaded them on the computer. Tried to burn them on a cd where they would play on the dvd player. I cant get them to play on the dvd player it keeps saying error wrong disc. How can I get them to play on the dvd player. Any help will be appreciated. I really want these videos and pics of my Great Aunt on CD.
You need to burn them to a DVD to view them on a DVD player. Copying them to a CD is just a way of backing them up. Also, you cannot just copy them onto a DVD, you have to format them with the proper software in order to view a picture show on your DVD player. Your camera should have come with some software to this effect. Otherwise, you can use something like Nero.
See what formats the DVD player will play first.
Will it play VCD, SVCD or even better picture CDs.
Which ever it plays, you will be able to use.
It sounds at least that the player will not support picture CD.
If it supports VCD or SVCD then at least you can still use CDs instead of DVDs.
However you will need to use a program to make a slide show that the player will be able to cope with.
This will give you a nice menu structure and possibly background music of your choice to listen to whilst auto scrolling through the images.
I use Roxio Media creator 8 and Ulead CD/DVD picture show 4, but there are other programs out there, some are free.
However, all are free to the various people who use torrent downloader?s such as ųtorrent to download torrents from Isohunt etc..., but I certainly wouldn't condone that option as it is very very naughty.
Most DVD players support CDs. If your DVD player also suports jpegs, then it will play the pictures in a simple slideshow. If it doesn't support jpegs, then your best approach may be a Slideshow Program.
Just a thought but have you checked this CD in a CDROM drive to see if is works. What Bilbo65 said is true(ie that most DVDs will play CDs) so one consideration could be that something went wrong with the burning process and maybe the disc isn't properly finalized or was burned as a multisession disc or something along those lines.
