Burning pix to a DVD

[Cliff Spence]

I am running XP Pro v. 5.1
Despite having successfully burnt some work-related pix to a DVD, when I try
again, I get the message "Windows does not support this media. Please in
sert a new CD"
This is driving me nuts, since I want to burn all my case histories to a DVD
(or CD if I really must - I already have the DVD's!!) so our Sales guys can
bring them up in Customer Presentations.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

What software did you use to burn your DVDs? Did you use packet writing
(e.g., Roxio Drag-to-Disc or Nero InCD)?

 

[Tom Willett]

Do you have DVD writing software installed, and a DVD writer?
(Windows itself doesn't write DVDs)

XP can only natively burn pictures or any other
types of files to CD media and not DVD media.

Some software applications can use DVD media
but this is the exception and not the rule.

Therefore you need to purchase DVD media burning
software such as Roxio or Nero. There are also some
freeware software application but since I don't use any
on a regular basis I can't recommend any.

Since I assume you burning these pictures to keep them
for a long time to come. So buy quality DVD media such
a Verbatim for long term life expectance. For every day use
I use either HP or Imation. Store media in a cool,
low humidity and dark (no sunlight) area.

CDburnerXPpro and ImgBurn are both good freeware programs
you can try. Look on Google. HTH,
