I need to copy many pics from my computer to disc to play on a computer or dvd player. Is this the best way to go?

You should be able to burn the pictures to these DVD-R's and others should be able to copy them and view them as they wish. Of course, you could prevent that if needed, but that isn't what you asked. I've successfully burned many pictures to these for later use and sharing, without problems. Most of my pictures are less than 200 kb in size or less, so one DVD-R holds a LOT of pictures, too. These hold a lot more than a CD-R would.

Hi!! I am wanting to know when you received your answer to your question about whether you can use these for storing and viewing pictures if it worked for you? I too, wish to use these to transfer all pics to each one and want to make sure I will be able til do that with no problems. So, my main question. Is: once I have saved my pics to this device, will my family be able to copy the pics I put on there to tbeir computers.. I a m hoping that you purchased these, and if the party who answered your question right. I really hate to spend the money if they on my burn music, you know? Thank you in advance. Steph Hi!!

WEll you'll need a program like Nero or Roxio copy your files to a computer then using DVD-R or DVD-R/RW or if you want a HD or Bluray you'll have to use a Bluray disc for a bluray player but the big thing is the program used. You can use any DVD but it will have to be converted with a program to be played on a player. Blu ray discs are far more expensive than a regular DVD. 10 to 20 times more expensive. If you want just HD then you could get Dual layer discs. But again it's all in the program used.

probanbly not. dvd's have a coding making them impossible or very difficult to copy. a special software is needed.

I scanned slides but there is something you need to know. Once you download the Blaze Photo CD, only use the scanner. Scan in all the negatives, if you go into the Blaze Photo program everything freezes. Get the Picasa Photo program (which is free) and download that to transfer all your photos into in order to keep on pc or make a CD. It took me the longest time before I finally figured it our. Good Luck.

Check the "DVD Recording Compatibility Guide" under "Product Description". If your CD/DVD drive says "DVD" on it you should be able to write pictures to these discs.Note that you can only write to a DVD-R once, so you need to move all the pictures you want on it to it at one time.

Of course you can do. Certainly there isn´t a dvd drive; but you don´t need it; just install the wireless print driver from internet or use a usb flash drive.

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

I am sure you can. Just take the output RCA's (red+white) and put them into you disc recorder's input. I have been transferring all my cassettes to my stand alone CD disc recorder. I also have been transferring most of my cassettes to my stand alone DVD-R recorder... because my cassettes are 90m, 100m and 110m long and of course all you can put on a CD is 80m. So I can put 3 cassettes (split them up with indexes on the DVD) on each DVD-R. The only problem is you can't play them in a CD player, but they can play in all DVD players and most computers, and if it is something you really want on a CD you can make CD's as well.

I have not copied dvds yet..but cds are MUCH faster. I would assume the same would apply for dvds.

This is just for dvds/cds. You can put pictures onto a blank disc, or install software,

The format is immaterial. Just save them as high quality JPEGs and import them in to iDVD. Note: you cannot play a CD-R in a DVD player, only a DVD-R. iDVD will make a nice slideshow out of your still images (your JPEGs). Also, if you intend to save these images as an archive (to protect your memories) then scan them at 300dpi and save a backup of your files on a CD or DVD. If all you want to do is make a slideshow, then you can scan smaller. I would suggest going to Apple Discussion at the Apple Support site and ask for advice. You will find good help there.

DVD Fab seems to work very well. if you copy Bluray discs they will only play on your computer, they wont play on PS3 or new Bluray players .

It is best to record on cd-r. Also, it depends on what was recorded. Some machines cannot play certain file formars

You should be able to read a finalized disc from any DVD recorder on your computer. Look for files with a VOB extension in the VIDEO_TS folder. They should be no more than 1 GB each, although some of my recorders create 900 MB max size files. The VOB files are actually MPEG files, but specially formatted for DVDs. Rename them with an MPG extension and they will work in any software player that can play MPEGs. Note that the files will not end at any particular point - the video will just end when the size limit is reached. To get a complete video, you'll have to join the files together with an editor. Can't help you on the HD shows, I don't have this model.

I just put files on my hard drive and use nero to make the dvd's they play much better than my dv recorder, and if I want to save and wait to get a blueray recorder I could always burn in hd, but they are a bit expensive the price will come down

I have been able to play my cds and install my software from cds and dvds, so you can play them. Remember that you will need a usb port. I am very pleased with this dvd recorder.

i have had success with playing the DVD on various machines by using the FINALIZE disc option. use SETUP, then DISC EDIT, then FINALIZE and choose YES.
