627673 2008-01-06 02:46:00 How does one do this? I've done it with a programme called PicturesToExe, but wonder how,if one has the cheaper version (non-burning) programme, to do this.

In other words, does one need to buy the more expensive? And if not, then how does one get it to play (on a DVD player - not a PC)?

As always - TIA
Cheers

627674 2008-01-06 03:04:00 An ISO is usually a cd, which is kind of compressed with files on it.

Which is usually bootable. (The ISO has to be burnt to cd/dvd, so you can use it)

NOT one file.

You cant play an ISO in a DVD player.

And there is no other way to view pics on a DVD player. Besides on a cd, or dvd.

Unless its got memory card slots on it for memory cards.

WHAT exactly do you want to play in a DVD??

Pictures, like in a slideshow?

If this is what you want to do, Nerovision will do this.

627675 2008-01-06 03:10:00 Yep - pictures with music... Some movement in the pictures though - panning zooming, rotating. I'm trying to do the teaching, so I'd better know the answers! R.M. (561)
627676 2008-01-06 03:12:00 Meh. Use Windows Movie Maker or similar and make an .avi or something, then burn it using nero or whatever. wratterus (105)
627677 2008-01-06 03:16:00 Well, unless theyre animated somehow (Or its video footage), they wont be moving..

Nerovision, if youve got Nero, will let you add pics, music, and transitions etc.

I doubt it'll make the pic move tho.

I dont think you'll find a lot of programs that do this for free.

Unless something like Irfanview can do it.

627678 2008-01-06 03:28:00 Yes - thanks to you both. BUT I'm trying to teach people how to use PicturesToExe (and I'm only just starting to use it myself!) - so perhaps Nero is off the list of options. I'll have a look at Windows Movie Maker - not a programme I have had much to do with. It sounds as if it might be a bit complex for the people I'm talking to (they are photographers, rather than computer whizzes). They vary considerably with their computer skills - but most are better photographers than I am! :) R.M. (561)
627679 2008-01-06 03:57:00 The best one I've tried is photostory. (www.microsoft.com) It pans across the photo to a focal point before changing to the next slide. You can also add narration or music, then burn as a VCD or DVD 4bes (2848)
627680 2008-01-06 05:05:00 Yes - thanks for that . The programme I use most myself is ProShow Gold - which of course includes the ability to save to ISO format and burn discs . Over the time I have had hassles with burning and learnt to save to ISO format and then burn - all successful if done that way .

PicturesToExe has two versions - one that will save to . exe file, and the more expensive that burns to disc, either CD or DVD . I really was just wondering if we (or my pupils in this case) could save a little money . The more expensive version is $USA20 dearer . Quite a bit if there was a cheaper way (and simple for basic computer users to use) . But I think not at the end of the day . . .

Thanks for all your comments as always - I know I can rely on this forum . :)
