Copy a Slideshow Cd to play on DVD players

Post by Paul Norman (RIP) »

I have a picture slideshow that I want to copy so it will play on TV DVD. If I use a Blank DVD, will that do it?

:) depends on what formats the dvd player u want to play it on supports. CD video is commonly burnt in svcd format, you may need to convert the cd to a compatible UDF (DVD) format first with some app like Nero's video making app or Alok converter. :wink:

I never had any success with a CD. I've always had to use a DVD for the slide shows. (I use Nero).

What are you using to make the slideshow? Do you know if your computer's DVD drive is a burner?

I think the slideshow was recorded on WMA on a blank cd disc.
Both my E and F trays are burners. I have Powertogo
and Sonic Record Now for burning programs. Thans.
