132491 2003-04-01 00:09:00 Have just purchased a Sharp TV package which includes a Sharp DVD -Model DV-s1x and video.
What I want to know - can I burn my Pictures and Photos to a cd from my computer and view them on the DVD.
Computer - Win 98, Nero, Sanyo CRD-BP1300P cdr.

132492 2003-04-01 00:19:00 its possible, but what you'll probably have to do is make an mpeg out of the pictures/photos, and create a VCD or SVCD out of it. You might want to add some music while youre at it. I doubt you can just biff some pictures onto a cd and throw it into a normal home dvd player, as it's using an ISO standard that the dvd player is not equipped to recognise. The dvd player should be equipped to recognise DVD video, VCD/SVCD/CDV, red book (normal audio cd's) and maybe mp3 cd's. whetu (237)

Using the Nero Wizard, create a new cd, "Other" type, select VCD from the choices on the left panel.

That opens nero up as usual, so just drag and drop any .jpg file and Nero converts it on the fly.

Then burn.

Nero creates the data structure for a VCD and burns them in the correct format.

Many DVD players are often fussy about the media though, they seem to prefer CD-RW to CD-R.

132494 2003-04-03 19:15:00 Thanks Godfather, that worked, sort of. Do you know of a free program that will let me run the images as a slideshow on the dvd? teddybear (2443)

132496 2003-04-04 07:27:00 If you simply want to have the VCD pictures displayed for a specified time, then automatically so onto the next you do not need any eztra software.

Once you have dragged and dropped you .jpg's to nero, select the entire images in the left-hand pane and right click. Select "properties" and it will allow you to set a number of seconds to display each picture. Individual pictures can have different settings, if you want to do it one at a time.
