rubia1409_2

First of all, thank you to all the kind people who replied to my last thread!

Now, I downloaded the microsoft photo story 3 for windows and eventually managed to get some photos and music together in a slide show. Now I can't seem to get them onto a DVD. I bought some Phillips DVD + RW 4.7GBdata 120 minutes video 1-4 certified speed DVDs but mu computer doesn't seem to recognise them.What am I doing wrong?

I am assuming that you have a dvd writer? R/W may not work in your DVD player, + or - may be better.

Hi there, i have just read your post & was wondering what software you are using to burn it on? As i think i may be able to help you further with your problem if you can begin by telling me this!?

The thing on my computer that says burn cd/dvd!!!

I made the slide show using microsoft photo story 3 for windows and saved it in my video and then clicked on the button that said burn!

What softwear do I need?

I am so confused!

Ok, i would reccomend that you use 'Nero Burning Rom' for what you want to do!

Memories on tv will let you burn any type of disk cd or dvd. but for now I wont go on about memories on tv or the dvd slide show software. its most probably the format of the dvd you are using, namely dvd + rw you should have bought dvd - and not rw which stands for re writeable unless of course your going to keep changing the contents of the disk, to be honest dvd rw is much more expensive than dvd-
if you download a trial of memories on tv you have the option to save your files to dvd or to cd

memories on tv does everything, it burns your saved project as well as creates it
