TMCNet:  Transferring photos to a DVD the player will recognize

[October 22, 2008]

Transferring photos to a DVD the player will recognize

Oct 22, 2008 (Star Tribune (Minneapolis) - McClatchy-Tribune News Service via COMTEX) --
Q. I would like to transfer photos to a DVD-RW disk in the form of a slide show that could be played on my TV from a DVD player. I haven't been able to do this, but I believe my DVD player doesn't recognize the DVD-RW disk format. Would a new DVD player solve this problem? Also, I've been using Roxio CD and DVD burning software. Am I on the right track?

A. You are on the right track. The MyDVD Slideshow, a software component of Roxio's Easy Media Creator program since version 7.5, will allow you to create a TV-friendly and DVD player-compatible slide show on a DVD.

And you're correct that you need a new DVD player that's compatible with the DVD-RW disk format you're using. That shouldn't be a problem since any new DVD player you'd purchase today should be compatible with several disk formats. You can usually find a list of the DVD formats the player can read on the side of the box.

Q. We often like to tape a program from broadcast TV. But with our new HDTV converter box hooked up, all we get from our VCR is a blank tape. Is there a way to make this work?

A. There is a way. When wiring the devices together, put the VCR between the converter box and your TV. There are also different set-ups for watching and recording a single channel, or for watching one channel while recording another. For a diagram and more explanation from the Federal Communications Commission, see www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/converterbox(underscore)vcr.html.

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
