How to burn my pic's to a DVD-R?

Hi, Once again I want to thank all of you for your great help. Like I said I am a rookie at this stuff. My question is now that I have alot of pic's in my collection's from my organizer what is the easiest way to burn those pic's on my dvd-r? I have Roxio Easy Media Creator software 7.5
Or can I burn it using just my Photoshop Elemants 4.0?
Thanks again

Hey Raftman:
The way it finally sunk in for me was to first determine what the final product might be, and who would be using it.
In one case it might be a DVD with pics for a brother (who has a DVD player only in his computer) and a DVD movie/slideshow for sister (who has a standalone DVD entertainment player) and printed pictures for Mom an Dad (who refuse to use anything new).
But to really answer your question concerning DVD's. There are really only two ways using DVD recording software (Roxio/MyDVD/...etc).
1. You simply copy the images to a DVD as data or files. These DVD's are no different than storing the images on a hard drive except that they are portable and you can give them to someone who has a DVD player and image viewing software with their computer. However, this "Data" DVD is not a DVD that you could play in most standalone entertainment system DVD players (the one hooked to your TV)
2. You can also make a DVD that would contain your images as a slideshow or still movie. This format is the one that can be played in a standalone DVD player. Rather than view them using a computer and computer monitor as in #1 above, you view them on your TV. To do this again you need the proper software to create a DVD movie. That software essentially converts the images (JPEG, TIFF...etc)into the MPEG2 format which is the DVD movie standard. Normally you just drag and drop the images into the program...adding music is sometimes an option. I can't go into depth, because it depends on the software which you'll have to read and understand.
What are the primary advantages/disadvantages of each method?
Well, besides needing a computer and monitor for #1, everyone has to gather around the computer. But, a computer monitor will always be the best quality. Looking at the images would be no difference than looking at them on your computer. Just double click or load the image software and browse away.
Using a DVD and TV is easy for a group, but the televisions resolution or quality is no where as good as a computer monitor. Here you would simply load the DVD as a rented movie and the images would play or you would select them with your remote. There is the problem that all recorded movie DVD's are not 100% compatible with all entertainment system DVD players. "R-" DVD's are the most compatible. Many older DVD players simply will not play a recorded DVD.

  • How to burn read and write files on DVD

    I would like to know how to burn DVDs (image files) with the Read and Write setting. I have changed the settings in Get Info for the image files to Read and Write for Owner, Group and Others and yet when I burn the DVD and try and copy the files back onto the hard drive (to test if it works or not) it won't allow me. When I check the Get Info it says Read and Write for owner (greyed out) and Read Only for Group and Others (greyed out too).
    I have also tried to change the status of the blank DVD before adding files and after adding the files (but b4 the burn) to Read and Write, this works but then during the burn process the DVD or burner changes my settings to Read Only.
    I am burning with Finder and have tried with Toast 10 Titanium. What am I doing wrong, or not doing at all?! I'm going loopy with frustration!

    Kiraly, I agree that the actual problem here might be something else, but as a side issue there seems to be a difference in the way permissions are handled when a file copy is made using Finder compared to when the copy is made using the cp copy in Terminal. At least in my Tiger system, Finder preserved the permission structure, though not the ownership, when it copied a file, whereas cp used the OS defaults.
    I tried the following experiment:
    From my test user account "t", I created a textfile named ReadWrite.txt, and gave it Read+Write permissions for Owner, Group, and Others. I then burned it using Finder to a DVD which I named PermissionTest, and then unchecked the "Ignore Ownership" box on PermissionTest.
    The original ownership and permissions were preserved on the DVD, though of course you couldn't actually write to anything there:
    xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
    -rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
    I then copied the file from the DVD to the Desktop using Finder, and the permissions were preserved!
    Finder copy:
    xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    -rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    I then trashed the Finder copy of ReadWrite,txt on the desktop, and made a second copy from the DVD, but this time I used the cp command from Terminal instead of using Finder. This time the permissions were not preserved, but reverted to the OS default:
    cp copy:
    xxG5-Computer:~ t$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
    xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    -rw-r--r-- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 19:43 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    I then switched to a different user account "t1", and repeated the above with the same DVD, first copying the ReadWrite.txt file to the desktop using Finder, and then using cp. The ownership of the copied file changed from t to t1 in both cases, but the permission structure again was preserved in the Finder copy but not in the cp copy:
    DVD file:
    xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
    -rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
    Finder copy:
    xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    -rw-rw-rw- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    cp copy:
    xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
    xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    -rw-r--r-- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 19:51 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
    I got similar results when I tried copying a file with Read+Write permissions for all from a USB flash drive to the Desktop, again with the "Ignore Ownership" box unchecked.

  • How to burn decent resolution slide show onto DVD ?

    First of all I'm a newbie to this (PS8 Elements and Premier). I have a slide show with music in "Slide Show Editor". When I view this slide show in 'Full Screen Preview" I see a decent resolution but when I burn the slide show onto a DVD the resolution sucks if it's shown in "Full Screen". ( the slide show looks decent if shown in a smaller screen). I took the pictures with a 7 mega pixel camera. Another thing that happens when viewing "Full Screen" in the burned DVD is the text (if it fills the whole screen) some text is hidden around the borders.I burn the DVD in the Premier program.

    Thanks for your reply. I'll try what you typed but the
    hard part will be figuring how .

  • How to burn slide show to Blu-ray DVD ?

    I've burned a slide show with music to a regular DVD but it comes out with poor resolution when blowing up to full screen. When I try to burn same to a Blu-ray DVD I can't because it burns at about 20 fps ( which I don't need ) and takes too much memory ....about 4 Gig !

    Photoshop Elements does not do the burn of a slide show to a DVD disc or to Blu-ray disc: Photoshop Elements only burns the VERY low resolution VCD format to a CD disc. The DVD formats are created by the Adobe Premiere Elements software which perhaps you purchased in; a bundle with Photopshop Elements.
    Premiere Elements has a separate forum at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    so that is where you will find people who can help with questions about Blu-ray and standard def video DVDs
    When you post on that forum, I recommend that you include which version of the Adobe software you are running, which version of Windows, and whether you are doing your playback of the slide show at full screen on a computer or using a TV DVD player. Also if doing playback on a computer include what software are you using for playback at full screen and what is the resolution of that screen ?

  • How to burn an iMovie project to a DVD

    I have created a movie using iMovie version 10.0 6.  I have iDVD version 7.1.2.  The only "sharing" in this version of iMovie are Theater, Email, iTunes, You Tube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN Rept, File and Image.  There is no export button, no media browser and no iDVD.  How can I get the movie project out of iMovie and into iDVD so I can burn it to a DVD?

    iMovie 10 is not very good for making DVDs.  My favorite is iMovie HD 06, or iMovie 11.   With iMovie HD 06, 1 click and you are sharing with iDVD. Moreover, one click will allow you to create chapter markers that are automatically recognized by iDVD.   Apple removed the ability to create chapter markers in iMovie 10. IMovie HD 06 is readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06. It does cost more, but worth every penny.
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iLife-Mac-DVD-VERSION/dp/B0007LW22G/ref=sr_1_1?s=sof tware&ie=UTF8&qid=1425336470&sr=1-1&keywords=ilife+06
    Share ➙ iDVD method works with older, (better) iMovie versions. 
    In iMovie 10:  You want to use the Share  ➙ Media Browser method and then access the movie in iDVD via the Media Browser.  But you will not be able to create chapter markers.

  • How to burn albums in iPhoto with external DVD drive?

    I have the new iMac which doesn't contain a DVD drive... so I bought an external DVD drive and I am trying to burn albums from iPhoto but in the "share" option, the "burn to disc" option doesn't come up. It's as if iPhoto doesn't recognize a DVD drive available, but it is. Anyone know a fix to this? Thank you!

    open the album and select all - export to a desktop folder (see the user tip on exporting for the various options available) and then in the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

  • How to burn a slide show to a dvd to watch on tv?

    I have a slide show set up in Aperature. I am needing to burn it onto a dvd, so friends are able to play it in a dvd and watch on their TV.  What program works best for this?  I have the Adobe -  Creative Cloud if there is a program that would be simple to use.

    I'm not at all familiar with Adobe; you do need software that will properly encode the video so the DVD is readable by any DVD player. Top of the list would be iDVD with customizable menus to give your masterpiece that special look - no longer available from Apple, but still available as part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 disk - some resellers, including Amazon, still have it. Then there is Roxio Toast ($$) - excellent burn software, but no customizable anything. There is Burn (free) - it does what it says: burn. And there are others; you can google for them - I've tried several and prefer to use iDVD and Roxio Toast.

  • How to burn bought movies from iTunes to DVD's?

    I am wondering if I buy a movie on iTunes could I burn it on a DVD to watch on my DVD player? Do I have to use iMovie?

    The content owners are very strict on multi format copying of movies (unlike CDs)  If you want it on DVD you have to buy it again on DVD.  Of course you could just buy it on DVD and stick it in your computer -- except Apple seems to be phasing out including optical drives on its computers since you can, after all, buy the movie on the iTunes Store and if you want to see it on your TV you can also go out and buy an Apple TV so you play your Apple purchased movie on your Apple purchased Apple TV...
    One thing to do is just get movies on DVD and check if there is a digital download option where you can also download a version for your computer.

    If you need to make a bootable copy of your OS installer disk (good idea to have when you travel) follow this:
    How to Make a Non-Commercial DVD copy of MAC OS X
    Making a DVD Image
    Step 1. Insert the retail Mac OS X Install DVD into your drive.
    Step 2. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).
    Step 3. In Disk Utility, you will notice a white pane on the left hand side. In the pane, select the Mac OS X Install DVD by clicking on it once.
    Step 4. Click New Image on the Disk Utility toolbar.
    Step 5. A dialog box will appear. Give the new image a name. I used 'Mac OS X Install DVD'. Select the destination where you wish to save it. Leave Image Format at Compressed (default) and Encryption at None (default).
    Step 6. Click Save to begin creating the image.
    Step 7. Once your image has been created DO NOT mount it. Leave the image alone and proceed to the next section.
    Burning the Image
    Step 1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).
    Step 2. Click Burn on the Disk Utility toolbar (upper left).
    Step 3. Navigate to where you saved the DVD image created in the previous section. Click on the image file, then click the Burn button. Do not drag and drop the image file into Disk Utility during this step.

    I started a thread about the same thing. I never had a MobileMe account, and I'm having a lot of issues trying to set this up. I have contacted apple, and they have been very nice to try to figure it out, but even they say a lot of what iCloud offers is new to them. I will let you know if I hear anything.

  • How do I delete pics/videos from my iPhone 4

    How do I delete pics/videos from my iPhone 4 if it is not even able to do a restore/backup? A couple days ago I received an alert on my phone that said something like, "You cannot make or receive calls. Connect to iTunes to restore." I connected to iTunes and backed up the phone then started the restore. Before the restore could begin it ended the process and said, "Something is wrong with your iPhone please contact support, Apple Store etc". The Apple Store could not even complete a restore. I have since got a new iPhone but, I want to sell the old phone and I am afraid all my info/pics can be retrieved. Is there any other way to delete all of my pics, videos etc?
