Guest Phisherman Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 How can one burn a CD or DVD to display jpgs from a DVD player? I have tried playing a disc (on a home theater system) that contains picture files which can be read on my PC but not on my TV-DVD player. I have Nero 6 Ultra Edition and CompuPic Pro 6.23. Please help. Thanks

When the CD-R loads into the player a list of the folders appears, allowing me to use the remote control to select the desired folder and then the image I want to start the slide show with. Note that with a regular DVD player there wouldn't be much point to the pictures being larger than 640X480. Much larger images might significantly slow the load times of the slide show. From what I understand this will NOT work with any sort of DVD+R, DVD-R DVD+RW or DVD-RW.

Some do understand jpeg, divx, mp3, wma, etc -some don't. The bottom line is that VOBs (the format used by DVD films) are the only common denominator between all DVD players, so encoding into a slide-sequence using that format might be one answer. Unfortunately VOB is not a particularly effificient encoding, jpeg and divx/xvid will get much more onto a disc.

NeroVision[Express] can create slideshows on DVD, Video CD, Super Video CD and Mini DVD media. Use "Make Slide Show" from the main menu and choose your media type. It will be a bit of a learning curve and I don't intend to go through the procedures here. It's not terribly sophisticated but another way is to use Nero Express to create a slide show on Video CD or Super Video CD. Which one you choose depends on the compatibility of your DVD player. That should be stated in its specifications. Video CD (VCD) would be compatible with a wider range of DVD players. VCD format is lower resolution than SVCD. Standard TV is quite low resolution anyway. Try burning on a CDRW first. Open Nero Express and select CD-CDRW as the recorder (it changes the menu options on the same page). Then select Videos/Pictures -> Video CD. Tick the "Enable VCD Menu" box and then add the picture files(or videos) you want to use. You can put several hundred pictures on the disk or about 1 hour of video. The scale at the bottom of the page will show you when the disc is full. Select all of the pictures and then click Properties. This opens a box where you can set the default pause time and transition effects. Also use Properties on individual pictures to change their Title, or pick a different transition effect or pause time. Click Next when done to get to the menu customisation page where you can alter text, background and layout of the menus. Click Next again, enter in a name for the disc, choose your burning speed and tick verify data to double check disc integrity. If you get verification errors try burning it again using a slower burning speed. Test the finished disc in your DVD player.
