How Do I Move Pictures To A Dvd

[zingo1327]

I have several hundred pictures of my grandchildren on my computer.How do i transfer them to a DVD so I can look at them on my TV. What are the programs available to do this task as windows only seems to transfer to CDs
My operating system is windows XP pro
thank you in advance

If windows XP appears to write to CDs only it would suggest that you only have a CD player/writer fitted in your machine. Can you play a standard film DVD on your machine? If not, then you will only have a CD player/writer fitted. Have any other family members got a machine that have a DVD player/writer fitted? If so then transfer your photos to a portable drive and ask them to burn them to a dvd for you

I haven't used it but you could try this http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/photo-slideshow-maker-professional/ which is free for today only (until 8am Sunday)

You should be able to put then on dvd just as they are.

Not all DVD players can play photos, and some need the photos to be in folders, some don't.

Try a few photos onto a cd to star with.

Alternatively you can use a progam to turn the photos into a slideshow.

I can play dvds on this drive eniac but when i open the folder containing the pics and select all of them.I then right click and this gives me the option of "send to CD drive D...but they won't copy to a DVD blank in D drive

Hi Zingo 1327. OK it sounds like it's a software problem I am presuming that the software to transfer to CD probably came free with the machine and is only capable of writing to a CD format. You'll need to get some software that will go both CD and DVD data formats. I would recommend Nero and I've just checked the Nero site and you can download a 15 day trial for free. Or amazon have the Nero 'Burn Express' for £17 - which looks exactly want you want

thanks. I'll give that a try

It may be that your drive is a dvd player and cd burner, but not a dvd burner.
