cds in dvd

[ronnie963]

i've put some pictures on a cd-r but when i put it into my dvd it says WRONG FORMAT what does this mean any help greatly recevied

[fo3nix]

what format are the pictures in?

when you were burning the CD-R, did you finalise it? (a tick box somewhere, probably).

I may be showing my own ignorance here but my DVD player will happily play music files (.wav .mp3 etc) on CD or DVD and will just as happily play a movie on DVD Video. I can see no way that the DVD player can play/display pictures (.jpg .BMP etc). I think perhaps you are expecting your DVD player to do something it was never designed to do.

oldbob, my DVD player will play a slideshow of photos from a CD. Unfortunately I use a program to create this that came free with my printer so I don't know how it works and can't reallly help ronnie963, other than to say it can be done.
