MG6320 image misaligned on CD/DVD

When I print images on CDs and DVDs the image is misaligned vertically by nearly 1/2 inch.  I have tried several programs like Paint, Windows Live Photo, Picture Viewer, Microsoft Office Picture Viewer, GIMP, Photoshop Elements, ArcSoft Photo Studio, and Canon EasyPhoto EX.  I am running Windows 7.
Most programs automatically position the image about 1/2 inch off center with no option to move the image.  When a print preview is opened, it actually shows the image off center.
I found that ArcSoft Photo Studio does have a print setting that will allow one to shift the image but after a lot of trial and error it still is not quite satisfactory, with ink running off the disc edges onto the disc tray.
One note:  I have printed thousands of CDs and DVDs on Epson RX340 and an HP all-in-one with no problems.  I could just open any of the above programs and with just a few mouse clicks print a disc that was centered just fine.  So far I have wasted about two dozen DVDs trying to get an acceptable print on my new Canon MG6320.  At this point I wish they would take it back and I would buy another Epson.  And anyone that asks me, that is exactly what I will tell them, even though I have Canon camera and scanner equipment.
Now on to Canon EasyPhoto EX, the software that came with my new Pixma MG6320. 
1. Canon should drop the "Easy" portion of the software name.  It may have lots of bells and whistles for some needs, but it is incredibly intensive just to get one image to print on a CD.
2. There is no blank layout to choose from.  Even if you pick "Simple" you still have a background to delete, along with 3 text lines to delete, and you have to resize and center the chosen image manually. 
3. Canon designers should actually have to use the software they create and count mouse clicks just to do something simple (I just counted 17 not counting the interaction required with the printer itself).  Their performance bonus should be in inverse proportion to the number of mouse clicks required to perform simple functions.
What I want to do is to print one image, centered on the disc and covering the whole printable area, and with no text added. 
Through searching this forum and others, I find other users (buyers) want to do the same thing. 
I like the physical printer itself, although it has a large desktop footprint, and you have to leave the inner cover closed until it tells you to proceed when printing discs, then press OK on the screen - neither Epson nor HP had this extra set of steps to delay you.
I don't think I should have to buy third-party software to handle this issue, but if someone knows of free software that will solve the issue, I would be grateful.  If Canon would develop an update that would streamline this simple task, that would be acceptable, too.  If Canon had a way to save the complete format to a file, then just add your selected image, that would be fine, too.
Any help out there at all?

  • Is it possible to upgrade a G4 Xserve with an ISO image of a Leopard DVD?

    I have a G4 Xserve (tray load) with only a CD drive.  Leopard is on DVD only. I created an ISO image of the Leopard DVD but it will not work. Not sure why. I copied it to the Hard Drive of the Xserve and also tried it from an external drive (not booted from that drive however). 
    Any suggestions?  Was trying to avoid booting into target disk mode.  I only have an Intel laptop and not sure this would work anyway either.
    All assistance is appreciated.
    Lisa

    Did not work for me. Tried copying it directly to Xserve desktop, to a partitioned drive, to an external firewire drive.  Nothing.
    Sharing out the laptop DVD drive and booting to target mode did work, however. Very very VERY slow, like over 3 hours slow, but it worked.
    All up and running now.
    thanks again,
    Lisa

  • Can I make a collection of images from a data DVD in Bridge CS4?

    Hello, anyone know if it's possible in Bridge CS4 to catalog a DVD as a collection? I can't figure out if it can be done. I've got several thousand images backed up to DVD and CD which in the past I've cataloged using other software but I'd like to do it in Bridge. I know it can be done in Lightroom quite easily.
    Thanks for any advice,
    Geoff.

    target needs to be owned by runtime()till R1 or control center(r2). in your case you dont need to create as source, you can register as another one target and a new module (target), that will resolve your case

  • [nForce] no audio on disk or image when burning a dvd movie

    i've recently bought a K7N2 Delta I lsr and since i've had this i have never been able to burn a dvd movie no matter what i try. I've started from scratch trying with just the AC-97 audio drivers installed and downloaded the latest nforce audio drivers from nvida website, nomatter what i do i cant get a movie on disk correctly. When i build an image on my harddrive, i play it and theres no audio and when i build a dvd disk either the audio wont play or the entire disk wont play. my dvd player either says disk cannot be played or the disk is dirty. But when i import the image or disk into dvd shrink the film plays fine with audio. I'm at a total loss. i dont think that my processor has anything to do with it but i have an AMD Athlon 3200+ and 512meg 3200 Geil ram. If anybody has any ideas or better still a solution i would greatly appreciate a reply.. Thankx for your reply in advance...   

    Hello SON!
    Recently bought, you say. Does that mean you have installed all mobo drivers, repair installed Windows, etc?
    Have you tried the disks in another system?
    Do you use the same software for playing and recording?
    I don't think this is it, I think it is a software/driver problem, but two quick ones:
    Untic in Device Manager for the optical device "Recognise insertion", as that can ruin a burn.
    Remove the audio cable if you got one between the optical device and the sound card.

  • Really poor image quality when watching DVDs

    Hi,
    I was just wondering whether anybody else has experienced really poor image quality whilst watching DVDs on their MacBook? For me, the image is really grainy or blurry. I am pretty sure it cannot be the DVDs as this problem is happening with every film I watch!
    Is this a common problem? What can be done (if anything) to resolve this?
    Many thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    open system preference>display, and check if your color depth is in millions color.
    try other dvd player like VLC for mac:

  • Image size adjust on DVD

    I am putting my pictures onto DVD.  When I play the DVD some, not all, of my pictures are shorten and stretched, which makes them hard to see.  I have been told that it is a resizing issue, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the image size.  Is that possible and can anyone help?  Thanks

    Image --> Image Size. For DVD (Video) all images must be 480x720 pixels (NTSC) with a pixel aspect ratio of 0.9 (4:3) or 1.2 (16:9). For PAL this would be 576x720, 1.667 or 1.422 PAR. That's assuming you mean true slide shows. If you are merely using your DVD player's ability to display JPEGs from a data folder, then a look in the device's manual would hold the truth. The player would do all scaling "life" then and limits in file size and resolution may apply.

  • Can't create disk image of non-commercial DVD

    I am trying to create a disk image of a 3.7 Gb non-commercial DVD instructional video using disk utility.
    I can only get about 70 per cent of the way through before the reading/writing of the DVD content freezes for a few minutes, and then I get the message:
    "unable to create -- copy.cdr - input/output error."
    I have tried repeatedly on both my MacBook and desktop Imac with no ability to clone an image of this DVD. (Same results when I try to do the same thing with Roxio Toast 8.)
    Are there any workarounds or perhaps a method of determining definitively if the source DVD is copy-protected ? Otherwise, what is causing these repeated input/output errors ? ? ?

    I'm giving up on this particular DVD, not worth any more time tryin different permutations that al seem to fail.
    I would have thought someone would have been able to write a software program that will copy ANY DVD --even one with errors in file names etc, since that's what copying routines are supposed to do. This DVD I am trying to copy plays just fine on the Mac, auto-starting DVD player when it is inserted and there are no problems wth either audio or video thru multiple chapters. So the disk can't be THAT bad if it is supposedly error-prone. and yet I get errors when trying to make a simple mirror image of this dame DVD. Go figure ????
    If it has such terrible errors, why does it play fine on the Mac and on our living room DVD player as well ??
    How do I copy it ??? - "errors" and all . Is there software that will ignore "errors" and just copy the darn thing errors and all ?
    this is a very confusing business of too many conflicting standards I guess.

  • Preparing images for high quality DVD

    I've been trying to create a photo slideshow from high quality images(Canon 20D) then burn them to DVD (both 4x3 and 16x9).
    I can create the slideshow export to iDVD the burn with either iDVD or Toast.
    My problem is the quality, it *****. Example if a street sign is in the image you can't read it. Its OK on the computer but impossible on a TV and its a HD TV.
    Now I done it a few time with different setting always going for the best choices. I've also resized the images to 720(hor)x 534(vert) depending on the image orientation for 4x3 DVD.
    If iPhoto/iDVD not the solution for the finest quality can you recommend what is?
    Cheers

    What video format is your source material? You simply cannot expect to get great quality without great quality source material.

  • How do I burn a disc image (img file) to dvd?

    I created a disc image from iDVD, but my disc drive on my home computer is broken. With a flash drive, I copied the img file onto my work computer & burned the file to disc. However, while the file copied, the disc doesn't play as normal dvd. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    Though the replies above were very helpful and most likely would have worked, my work computer doesn't allow access to Disc Utilities. However, I bugged my IT guy and he showed me another way, using the Burn Application. I just needed to use the correct setting, as was mentioned above, I was burning data & not DVD. I'm sorry I don't have it in front of me, but I think I had to click the DVD tab & then select DVD/Video from the drop-down menu. One quirky element: I wasn't able to drag/drop the img file into Burn. I needed to drop the contents of the img file (the VIDEO_TS folder). Then it worked fine.

  • Can I make a DISK IMAGE of the installation DVD as BackUP?

    Well after a week of continuing problems, I am so glad that I had several Fully Bootable Backups on external FW800 Hard Drives to keep me alive as my internal HD has been freezing and other repairs may be needed.
    The ability to restart via the OPTICAL DRIVE with the original Installation DVD was also a BIG HELP. But, what if my optical drive would go? I am wondering if there is a way to make a copy of the installation drive (I'm thinking of a disk image file - believe Disk Utility can do that??) - But will it be recognized and serve to boot / install Snow Leopard on my Mac should I need it? (MBP-13" mid-2010 issue)
    I don't want this for any reason other than emergency backup -- I had a DVD that was scratched and could not be read-- hey, maybe I should burn a copy as well?
    Please let me know what is technically and legally possible here. I can't use a snow leopard DVD on this Mac - as it is too new. I need some backup(s).
    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    Modifying, no. That use to be possible in the pre-Tiger past.
    And with Mac Pro all you really need is to have a small 20GB partition and put OS X there for use when you want to run Disk Utility you would also be able to use other programs like CCC or Disk Warrior.
    I honestly never have had to get out the original DVD (SL, Leopard, OEM) except maybe once. But I have cloned my system and even backed up my small 20GB "edrive." I also use CCC to backup system (80GB or less) to sparse disk images. But I also bought OS X DVD 10.5.6 as I wanted something with driver support for new hardware, the same thing happening now if you install the ATI 5770 and won't be able to boot with less than 10.6.4.
    BootCD back in 10.3.x days though could be used not just to add other packages and use the current OS to create DVD, but to have a live DVD and be able to run Firefox and utilites.
    Installing OS X off FW drive is fast, fast booting, and 5-10 minutes max to do the install.

  • Disk Utility fails to create image from double layer DVD

    I burned a double-layer DVD using iDVD. It plays fine on the mac and on set-top DVD players. However, when I try to create an image of the DVD using Disk Utility, I get "Can't create image 'name.cdr' (input/output error)". I've tried re-burning the original disk, but it gets the same error when trying to create an image. I've also tried each of the image types, all with the same result.

    I was having similar problems, although I don't think my issues was related to a double-layer DVD. What worked for me was selecting File > New > Disk Image from Folder. Select the DVD in the file open/save dialog with the same options you used before (e.g., DVD/CD master, etc).

  • How do I load Leopard from a disc image of the install DVD?

    Hi. I've made a disc image of my Leopard install DVD using Disk Utility and have saved it to a partitioned external HDD. On another partition on the same drive is a bootable SuperDuper backup of my machine.
    How do you get the machine to boot from the DVD disc image? The disc image mounts, but when I click re-start it simply restarts from the current startup disk and I can not work out how to get it to restart from the disc image in the same way it would from the disc itself.
    thanks
    Simon

    Fair enough question Kurt. I'm just thinking ahead to deal with a possible crisis as sometimes I work in fairly remote areas of Asia. My current superdrive will no longer burn disks but is still managing to read them, but if this facility too fails when I'm in the middle of nowhere and it also becomes necessary to be able reinstall the OS it would be very handy to have it on a drive. I'm also keen to carry as little kit as possible so getting a working disk image onto the external HDD that I carry would also remove the need to lug the install disks with me everywhere too. I suppose I could carry an additional external optical drive for this contingency but much easier if its possible from a drive.
    So there is method in my madness, at least I think so! Trouble is I'm having no success in making it work thus far.

  • LOSING IT: "Image Loading" from a DVD is NOT!!

    I don't know what's the deal. Aren't we supposed to have our photos anywhere? That's how Aperture is being marketed right?
    How come I can't edit my referenced photos from a DVD? I import them fine and during the import it seems I can edit the photos. But say that I want to edit some of my photos a week after; Aperture simply doesn't allow that! It tells me that the "Image is Loading", but the DVD doesn't even spin.
    It's not the DVD player as I can access the photos in the Finder and even edit them using Preview....
    H....E....L.....P.....!

    Hi Eduardo,
    Thanks for the reply. I had tried that to no avail. It's weird because the photos I have in external drives have no problems. Only DVDs.
    The screen to manage referenced files (the top part) shows that all files were found (the ones I have referred to in my DVD as well). However in the "volume" column it only shows "All Volumes" and my external hard drive. I'm assuming that here also the DVD volume should also be listed. This may be the reason why it doesn't work. But how can I force it to see my DVD? Any other approach?
    Any ideas?

  • Upside down images when creating a DVD

    Hello,
    During the course of making a DVD which is a mixture of stills & video clips I found that some of the images, in the timeline, in the available media and finally in the "Create DVD menu" screen were upside down.
    This usually preceeded a "serious" error which involved the program shutting down!. Although I was able to recover the file and eventually carry on to a successful project, I have no idea what I have done to cause this annoying problem.
    Has anybody any ideas?
    Thanks
    Jim

    Hi Paul,
    Yes, they are all very high resolution. I wondered if this was the problem. Oddly, it doesen't occur all the time though and sometimes changing an associated transition in Premiere has turned the image the right way up. Still, sorted now. Thanks a lot.
