I have found that the most versatile software for this sort of job is Roxio Toast, which is, Mac only.

Read the manual for the DVD player. Newer ones (less than 5 to 10 years old) are likely to read multiple formats, but older ones only play video. You need to put the photos on the disk in a format supported by the player. The key thing you said is "they play on your PCs" - but they don't "play", they are files that PC's handle just fine. DVD's originally were just for playing DVD's. Some, now, do support multi formats. Thanks. My DVD player is about 1 year old,and is the type that plays all regions and types of DVDs, supposedly. If you create a simple data DVD and put the files on it, then it will open everywhere. No notion of region in a data disk, BTW. -- When in doubt, use brute force. -- Ken Thompson |

I tried something new today. I burned the photos to a DVD+R as a DVD, and the results are weird. Under "scenes" playback, I got an out-of-control slide show that did not respond to stop, next, etc, but just kept on going. Under "play", each photo started as a close-up, and then zoomed out to the full photo frame; all automatically and with no control possible from me. Frankly, I am ready to quit. It is just not worth the effort. Thanks again, all, for your help and kindness. It is time for my strategic retreat. You mentioned in your initial post that you're using Picasa. Not having such handy, I don't know what 'stuff' it adds to the CD / DVD other than pictures. However, you might try copying only pictures - outside Picasa - to the root of a CD / DVD and see if that will play properly. I had a similar problem - got a USB drive full of pictures from a cousin, and passed copies of it along to other family members. One of the members mentioned that they could only see one picture, so I dutifully pulled out another USB drive, copied pictures to it, and since we were going to visit them anyway, took it to them. Turns out the two drives were identical, and the issue had more to do with the fact that whatever software had created the collection in the first place, and whatever was being used to read it, had different expectations. Hi, Thanks. The problem is that my photos are edited in Picasa. If I try burning them from "photos", then they are not edited, and therefore not so useful. Mort |

Some of his friends do not own/use computers, so DB is not a solution. A cross platform, system blind DVD photo disc is the only workable option for the bulk of his recipients. He just has to find a way to burn those photo discs without built in problems. Exactly. Thanks, Mort |

My guess is he has no "costumers" with, or without a computer. He does have friends who have no computer access, but who have the means to play a photo disc (DVD) on a DVD player connected to a TV. Correct. I am a young 87 years old, and many friends of mine do not have a computer and not even a cell phone. I built recording amplifiers for records at age 16, and square wave generators for medical research in my 20s, but that was with tubes. Computer chips are another world entirely. Mort Linder |

Mort Since Picasa has been superseded by Google Photos, is there some way you could create the photo CD/DVD from that? If not can you export the Picasa (or Google Photos) edited image files to a fresh folder as full size JPEGs? It might be possible to burn the CD/DVD from those exported files. -- Regards, Savageduck |
