| 766149 | 2009-04-18 08:58:00 | I've got a CD of jpegs written to a CD-R with Deep Burner (single session, closed). It displays OK on my PC and my Sony PVR, but won't work on my neighbour's Magnavox MDVD50 DVD player. Looking on the web, I get the impression this is quite an old piece of equipment, but I can't find anything that might help me make this work. Can anyone help? The CD appears to load OK, but never displays anything on the TV (and yes, we did have it set to AV2 :) ). Displaying some on-screen info, it says it is "VCD1.1", which sounds a bit suspicious to me. Any ideas that can get this to work will be most welcome. |

DeepBurner is a freebie, and I can't find any settings to choose a format for the burn. You get what you pay for, I guess. |

| 766155 | 2009-04-18 09:32:00 | if you burn them To DVD instead of CD they should work, here is what will (www.imagef1.net.nz) and what wont play according to the manual. Edited: if you have XP, you can install MS's Slide Show CD Maker ( free) that makes a Playable CD that will play on DVD Players (Sometimes) Available from here (www.microsoft.com) - 4th one up from the bottom. CD's ( even DVD's) are cheap today, no harm in having a "Play" |

| 766156 | 2009-04-18 11:09:00 | Thanks for all the info, everyone. I'll try the Slide Show maker and see how that goes. I'm not super-confident though. I have already tried a DVD-R of jpegs (also created with Deep Burner) on the same machine and it came up "bad disc". I'll report back when I've had another go. |

Did you format the disk before you burned whatever to it?? If you did dont. That could be why its bringing up a bad disk error Just add whatever to it, dont format it, before you do it |
