saving images to dvd

Hi

Today, after much trouble, I saved some recent images to a DVD using Sonic. When I try to view them on tv through my DVD player it wont allow me saying disc not compatible, or something similar. It is a DVD-RW which my panasonic player should allow. Next point, now when I go back to my PC my sonic DVD package I used will not open even when I put a new DVD in as if to start again. Can anyonye suggest what I have doen wrong for on each occasion, I dont understand why it should be so difficult just to copy some photos to a dvd and watch them on TV. Even more baffling as to why my sonic programme is no longer working or loading.

Many thanks

Putting images onto DVD for TV is a bit of an arduous task, but it is possible via Nero, Pictures2Exe and similar. I understand your DVD player takes RW- but does your computer? You might have to use RW+ discs.

TV viewing is OK, but the resolution is lousy compared to your monitor.

Anyway, good luck and hope that helps!

Most DVD burners will accept both - and + disks. However, the rewritable disks (RW) may not be readable in a standard DVD player. So you basically need to use a DVD-R disk.

Also it is quite common that DVD players require that the disk has been finalized after burning (i.e. closed, so that no more data can be added. This task is performed by the burning program.
