    Please help.. I'm struggling to back up my photos to DVD. I have used Nero 6.0.0.9 and Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD to create a ISO type non-multi session disk (Same technique I use backing my photo's up on to CDR.

    Each time I try to create the dvd it looks like it's been successful (Directories and jpegs look same (same name/size of photos etc) When I try opening a photo I get 'can't open image, read error. I have used DVD+r and DVD-r disk and have wasted loads of them >:)O(
    Am I being a complete wally and doing something wrong here ?

    Please help.

    You need to burn the DVD as a data disc. Unlike CD-R's, DVD-R's cannot be burned as multi-session unless you are using a DVD-RW.

    Hi there thanks for responding !

    I have used two different programs. Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD and Nero 6.0.0.10.

    I don't use multisession and try to create just a plain data disk (non multisession etc)

    I've tried two types of media and have tried copying a different speeds....

    In Nero just use the DVD-ROM disc option and you SHOULD use multisession for data discs - therein lies the problem. Check before you burn that multisession IS checked in the DVD-Rom option, that ISO level 1 is checked in the filepath box and ISO 9660 is checked in the character set box.

    If you use Multisession how does one use the disk on a non dvd writer type drive ?

    ie I can view the files ok on my dvd writer but my m8 can't view the disk on his pc dvd drive ?

    Cheers,

    Are you sure he's trying to access the files in the correct way? The DVD writer drive is no different to any other drive when it comes to reading discs.
