Jpegs to CD and display

[chrisa]

Hi all. I want to do something that should be quite simple. I want to just put a ton of jpegs onto a vcd or svcd, and have my dvd player display them when i put the disk in. My DVD is kodak jpeg compatible (if that helps) but I am finding it quite hard to get the right tool to do this job. Nero will only display 99 images ...and other tools I have may do this job, but require additions of menus etc etc. As I said, I think this would be quite simple, and there must surely be a piece of software - maybe even freeware - that would enable me to do this? Any ideas?

I've used nero V5.5.10 to do exactly what you're asking.


I have approx 700 digital camera images on a CD-R, which I play it on my Sony DVD player without any problems.


Just make sure your images are all in the root directory and not in any sub directories.


Besides that, I have nothing more to offer

Steve, can you please tell me the process for doing this? Did you make the cdr as 'data' disk? If not ...what do you mean by 'directory'?

If your player is Kodak PictureCd / JPEG compatible, all you should have to do is make a standard ISO9660 CDROM Mode1 data disc (with or without Joliet, depending on if it helps/hurts). Nearly EVERY CD burning app can do this.

Some players like files in directories/folders, some don't care, some hate it that way. My Norcent DP300 likes folders. As usual, YMMV.

You should be able to get plenty more files than just 99. Are you using a VCD slideshow template or something?

HTH,
Scott

ULead PictureShow does a nice job of this.

Ok, I have a problem that is similar, but not identical...I too was trying to get around this 99 file limitation...I have 2000 pictures that I want to put on DVD for viewing on a TV...

Toast limited me to 99, I dragged 115 files in, and had to delete 16 of them
DVD Studio Pro Limit was 99 also.

Is the limitation because I chose to make a "slide show" rather than just treating them as plain old files? I know I choose that option for DVDSP, can't remember if toast makes "slide shows" vs. plain old buring files to disk.

I used Adobe ALbum Starter (or something like that, free download) and made slide show for PC/mac play (it makes a PSD file) and it was simple, quick, and had no limit...not a lot of help for TV, nor vary glamorous, but boy is it fast and easy....sorry if that is tremendous command of the obvious and beneath the dignity of this forum...

Anyway, please elaborate on this 99 image limit if you can, Thanks, Mark

It's a DVD limitation, you can't have more that 99 titlesets on DVD and according to the glossary here 999 chapterpoints.What any of the software above supports or doesn't support I have no idea. They are probably creating different titlesets for each pic.....
