downloading photos onto disc

Hi I would be grateful if someone can help me . This might sound really stupid but I've been trying to download photographs on to a disc which I have done so many times before using Nero but I seem to be experiencing a problem this time . I have tried dvd +r Nero says wrong disc, I then tried cd-r nero says wrong disc Please help I don't know where I'm going wrong as I have done this before and had no problems. All I want to do is download photos and play it back on a dvd. I would appreciate any advice thankyou shrewdal

    Have you changed the MAKE of discs you normally use?
    Some dvd writers will struggle with some makes of dvds.
    Personally, the ONLY discs ive tried thus far that have worked on every dvd drive are DATAWRITE TITANIUMS

    You say you tried dvd +r then cd -r. Have you tried dvd -r?
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    Nero will simply copy the files onto a blank disc. Within Nero it will state what type of media your system can access and burn (cdr/dvd-/dvd+/bde etc)

    If you want to do a slide show you will need something like Windows Movie Maker.
