I seem to be having a problem getting my photos to burn onto a Verbatim CD-R disk, I double checked the proceedure using a memorex cd-r disk works fine, the verbatim disks appear visually to have been properly burned but then won't play back in a Sanyo DVD Yes the DVD is Kodak picture capable. What am I doing wrong.
First of all, the brand of disk or the brand of burner is probably not an issue here. It seems to be the type of Formatting you are using for this Picture Disk. Not really sure if your Samsung DVD is capable of displaying files burned to a CDR in any format. Test the CDR Media by burning a music cd and play it in your Samsung. Most Stand-Alone DVD Players will play regualr Music CDs. Make sure you aren't burning a MP3 CD. I'm betting that your DVD Player can't read CDRs too well or that it doesn't support JPEG Picture Discs. If you still need some help, post more info.
Yes my DVD is Kodak Picture CD compatable. The Verbatim Disks I am rtying to burn the pictures onto don't say whether they are or aren't MP3 only but the do have an offer on them for an additional 100 MP3 disks. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what kind of disks one should recommend for Photo purposes only. Best quality is essential both for having actual pictures made from the disk and for casual family veiwing on the Television.?
There is no such thing as an MP3 only CDR. MP3s are just songs, whereas JPGs are just pictures. Try buying and burning to another type of CDR. Some stand-alone DVD Players do not read some brands of CDRs.
Yes I nderstand all things mentioned. Ok I'll back up a bit. In another thread I beleive it was Media, it was mentioned that some cheaper disks like memorex won't play in a Sanyo DVD player something about MAG technology, also that they were poor quality. Anyway, it was mentioned that This playing problem would be solved by using verbatim disks, because Sanyo addmits that their DVD players won't play certain DVD CD media. As I was about to purchase a Sanyo DVR1000 dvd recorder. Somewhere is the process I purchased a stack of Verbatim CD-R disks to put some pictures on and now I am either experiancing freeze up issues with my burner in my PC and or the disks won't play in my Sanyo DVD player which keeps giving me an error saying it can't find or recognize the disk??? I don't think I'm burning the photos wrong because I used a FUJI disk immediatly afterwords and didn't have a problem, so for some reason I'm the only guy out there taht is experiancing problems with Verbatim disk recognition. Any suggestions???
http://www.digitalfaq.com is a great site. Their advice, in part, is to stick with these brands Taiyo Yuden TDK Ritek/Ridata Maxell MCC Office Depot (Ritek) Imation (Ritek) Read his full data on disk quality, but stick with the above and avoid all the rest. Some disks simply wont work in some players or burners. But quality media will go a long way toward eliminating compatibility problems. I own three Plextor burners; all three came with a Verbatim DVD in the box. The disks were all junk. Out of several hundred burns using the above recommended media (whichever is on sale at the time) I've had an insignificant number of compatability problems...2 or 3 I guess were bad burns.
Thanks I'll take your advice. I don't really burn a lot of music as I already have a huge collection. My interest is digital photography and burning onto the best photo quality media is essential for archiving/copying into photos later/disk use both from computer for editing but most importantly for family showing from various DVD players in slide show fashion. Best of everything.
Everybody has their favorites, but check this site out. They advertise the "Gold" media as 100 year achive stability. http://www.mam-a.com/Default.htm another good site: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/columns/sm-05-09-04.shtml
