Creating a DVD Photo disc from a USB memory stick

[kiwi]

I have about 60 photographs taken with a high definition Canon DSLR camera that have been transferred onto a USB memory stick. I want to burn these images to a DVD disc but I cannot get the imgburn system to recognise or see the memory stick when I select source for the files. I have only recently downloaded the program so how do I get this scenario to work? Thanks.

Copy to your hard drive and burn from there.

I can't see why it wouldn't show the memory stick... the dialog boxes that let you select the files or folders are just standard Windows ones, so anything Windows can see (in Explorer etc.) should be visible.

 

You are in 'Build' mode yeah?

Thank you for the help. I am still trying to get to grips with how this burner operates.  I have set it to the build mode and managed to get it to see the stick and to burn a disc..except that it will only play on a computer, but not a standard lounge type DVD player. I guess it hasn't finalised the disc although I did let it run right through to completion. I would have thought that the system would have automatically initialised and then at the end, finalised the disc. Is that not the case?

It's just burning the files as-is.

 

If your dvd player can't 'play' a disc just containing a bunch of photo files, that'll be why it isn't working. ImgBurn always finalises the discs it burns.

 

If you want to make a photo slideshow DVD Video disc, you'll need to use another tool to do that and then burn the VIDEO_TS folder (containing IFO/VOB/BUP files) it creates with ImgBurn (look at the guides forum if you get stuck).

"Firstly make sure your Vob, Ifo and Bup files are in a folder called VIDEO_TS"

 

I have checked through the forums and found reference to what I believe is the issue as per the quote above. What is lacking though for someone new like me is what does that actually mean.....ie, make sure your Vob, Ifo and Bup files are in a folder called Video_TS.  How / what do you do to achieve that function and what are those files? as i understand it they are associated with and are a part of a movie disc.  All I want to do is to burn plain photographs to a disc and finalise it. In this case those Vob etc files will not be there. 

 

You mention that I need another tool in order to make a DVD slideshow.  What is that tool?  Thanks.
