JPEG slide show on DVD player

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

This message is just to say that I have since been able to display my JPEG
photo's on a DVD player perfectly, and works ok if you put all your photo's
into a file first.( Thanks for this advice) The DVD player even showed a
complete list of all photo file names for reference, and easy selection of
individual photo's and also lets you run a slide show. I was amazed that
the DVD player also displayed a screen saver when the photo was left on too
long !

Been doing this for several years now. Have you come across some thing new
or some thing different?

I just tried this again on my 2-year-old DVD player. Won't
work whether the CD-R is just JPEGs or whether there're
also folders. I read the doc for my player and it says it
will play video and audio (Mp3) CD-Rs but doesn't
specifically mention JPEGs.

In my case, it will not only not show my pictures (which
are generally 1280 x 960 and around 350KB each) it will
also not display a list of what's on the CD.

I use EZ CD Creator to burn my CD-Rs. Of course, I can
read them fine with any app on my PC but the DVD player
won't.

Is there anything special I need to do when burning the
CD-Rs, like perhaps using ISO instead of Joliet or UDF?
Or, by using only old-style DOS 8.3 file names?

I also tried putting my post-processed pics onto my Nikon
5700's CF card. But, of course, Nikon is one of many
camera's that won't "see" anything on its memory card that
it didn't create itself (it does "know" they are there and
reports much less than normal "pictures left".
