Images to CD to play on DVD stand-alone

**Gizzard** · 8th July 2004

Hi all. I''m having a bit of bother trying to display my images on the stand-alone DVD player. I'm using Nero 6 which can create a slideshow but it won't play on the DVD. I have been using a re-writable disc (could this be the problem?) The most annoying part is that I have once actually succeeded in this task but now the player refuses to display the pics. Any tips? Cheers

it may be the RW disk, ive used nero to make slideshows before and they worked fine on my dvd player

look for a program called photo to vcd it's just the ticket for making up a slideshow to view on a dvd player

i wouldn't bother with RW disks not many dvd players like to play them just use normal writeable's there cheap enough nowadays

i tried photo2vcd and wasnt impressed at all, all it does is create a mpeg file of your photos and since its vcd or svcd the resolution isnt great.

I found nero produced much higher quality results, not sure what res they are but they look pretty sweet

i was pretty convinced that photo to vcd would burn to dvd but it looks like it can't so it would limit the resolution of the photo to vcd / svcd standard
oh well back to the drawing board

i use Pinnacle Studio 8 , its for video cameras but you can use it for pics and have different transitions between pics , menus , titles and background music

Sorry its a bit late but try MemoriesOnTV. I use it. It gives good results with transitions, & adding music and a menu page.

You can download it from this site. Hope it helps...

Dvd pixplay is the best proggy i have used,you can add your favourite music tracks too.Fast and compatible with 99% of standalone players.

Well I have tried most programs out there and continually come back to ProShow Gold. It will format to 4:3 and 16:9, sync sound to photo's 100% everytime and all the time. Make any kind of disk with, menue structure, you want and very good quality indeed, even has hundreds of transitions although I find the default to be the best. Its only a 13mb download and you really can't go wrong.

Had a look at Photo2dvd 3 studio the other day as my Grandad wanted some software to this, installed it, set it up via the wizard that pops up, dragged my pics and a couple of tunes over and had a photo DVD in my hand a bit later, took about 20 mins from installing to watching.

a friend wanted Memories on tv,so i got him version 2.17 .kept it also for myself to play about with,found it to be very user friendly.can do all the usuals i.e add photo's or video clip ,music and sync it to play.and ive not gone into it to deep but it does all ive ever asked it, very easily. and it plays on the dvd player .currently got a pacific 1002w (asda) .it played my rewriteable .

hope this is of use.

with memoris to tv are you writing to vcd or dvd ?
did you purchase the mpeg 2 encoder seperatly or did it come with it ?
iv'e searched everywhere for the mpeg 2 encoder with no joy so i'm stuck with a daft logo in the middle of the screen untill it's registered

ah there's a lot of packages that write to cd it's when you want to write to dvd ( better quality ) then the packages get a bit thin on the ground

i had a play with pro show gold and that seems the best one so far it's very similar to memories on tv but with more control by the looks of it
