I'm using Nero StartSmart and I'm wanting to put JPG, GIF and PNG pictures onto DVD+r and DVD-R cds but I'm running into problems. I want to take the photos I have stored off of floppy disks and I want to put them onto DVD cds and I want to be able to use them for future use. First off in order for me to upload the images onto the DVD cds I need to have the files in either NRG or ISO format and I haven't the foggiest idea how to convert JPG, GIF and PNG formats to NRG and ISO. If any one has any recommendations or suggestions please let me know. Plus I haven't the foggiest idea how to burn the images onto the DVD cds. Would I need to make a Data disk? Would I be able to access the photos at a later date if they are on a data disk?
Hello. nrg (Nero specific) and iso are file extensions for DVD image files. DVD image files are the digital 0/1 bit by bit representations of the stuff stored on the disk. Just burn the pictures as whatever format they are to a data DVD. In Nero Express, select Data > Data Disk. Click the Add button. Browse and select the folder/file you want put on the DVD and click Add. Repeat the above step for all files/folders you want on the DVD. When finished adding things, click the Finished button. Back in the original window, click the Next button. Select the recorder (dvd burner), set the burn speed, provide a volume label for the DVD, and Burn. The burned DVD will be explorable like a hard disk or floppy drive. The files will be in their original formats.
i tried to burn a data dvd [using photos] this morning using a dvd+r disk and the burn failed on me. this is the error log that i got after the burn: Valued Customer Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 11/20/2005 10:48:21 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 6.6.1.4 Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d (Nero Express) Recorder: <SONY DVD+RW DW-P50A> Version: 1.8f - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 8192kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Hello again. Edit out your program serial number from your post. To edit the post, clcik the pencil/paper icon in the upper right immediately above the post. The serial # begins 1A... We don't really like Nero 6.6.1.4 around these parts as it seems to be a little buggy. We recommend version 6.6.0.18. If you want to downgrade, run the Nero 6 Clean Tool first: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/us/Nero_6_CleanTool.html Then download and install 6.6.0.18 from these links: Package 1: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe Physical memory : 239MB (245228kB) Free physical memory: 61MB (62588kB) You're really short on memory and things often get dicy when this is the case. Investigate the possibility of getting additonal memory, either another 256 or 512. Depending on the type it can be expensive or cheap. Laptop burners are very finicky as to what they like. Power calibration errors as in your case suggest a media problem. I suggest trying a different brand of media. Verbatim is easy to find and is very good. We also recommend Taiyo Yuden (available online) and Fuji and Sony media labeled as Made in Japan (usually by Taiyo Yuden). I wouldn't buy very much until I found some media the burner likes. Do you have any friends you could exchange a couple disks with just to try? Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 5295 ( 1:10.45, 10MB) It doesn't look like you're burning very much to the disk. You might as well use a CD instead of a DVD if this is all you have.
laddyboy, i just want to thank you for helping me out. i really appreciate your help. i will do what you've suggested tonight. oh and i'm sorry about posting my serial number! i just copied and pasted on here and didn't think much of it.
just want to let you know that i still am not able to burn data dvds, but i did burn a data cd this morning. i bought more cd-r's this morning and i successfully burned a data cd-r this morning. once again, thanks for all the assistance!
