I sorry to bother you people but i would like to make a DVD as a slideshow for a friend so she might look at the pictures on her TV. The CD-R will not work on her machine. Roxio told me that I would have to update my vedio drive to make it work with MyDVD. I have to upgrade to the Creator 9 or 10 and also my video card too.
I'm comfused over what to do. I have a Inspiron 6000 that my wife gave me last March. I have the Windows XP Media Edition. The Vedio card is below and they sent me to to think liink below. So i don't understand what is going on. Can someone help me.

Well first off Tom, you can't burn a DVD using CD-R media. It has to be a DVD+/- R media. Start by opening up Videowave, start your production using all your photos, videos, audio (music) and add other options. Once completed, save it as a "name.dmsm" file. Now open up MyDVD programs and bring the dmsm file you created into that program. You can preview it there and/or do what ever other edits or options you want and then use a DVD blank media disc and burn that. Now you will be able to play it on your set top DVD player into your TV.

I blame it all on Global Warming / Global Cooling / Global Staying the Same [pick one]

Don't be so quick to update the video hardware; yours is a probably a video chip and not really upgradeable but the new drivers may be enough. Follow the instruction at that link. For the most part, they include deleting the old drivers, rebooting and installing the new drivers. The instructions are very good. My guess is that the video setup will be OK.

Look here to see updates for your burner. If you have a combo, it will read CD and DVD but will only write to a CD. You should be able to find out from your product manual. Usually if the ID has the term DVD, then it will write to a DVD. Again check your manual to be sure. The linked update is for FIRMWARE. that is not the same as driver updates. Follow those instructions exactly. If you do have a CD burner or combo, consider an external USB DVD burner, they are pretty inexpensive; look for sales.

Lastly (almost) , although you posted in the V10 forum, You can test out how well your laptop will work with the recent Roxio EMC products. Go to the V9 trial forum and download the trial version of that. If it works well, you could buy that or get the latest and greatest V10 product. Please realize that the V9 posted has given some people problems with Vista OS; The current products are EMC 9.1 and EMC 10 which are fully certified by Microsoft.

If the V9 doesn't work for you- a message will tell you about your video card - and you are using XP, then you might find a deeply discounted V7/V7.5 or either of the V9 versions. Skip V8.

Lots of options with the decision yours.

One last thing; if you are getting a Sonic error about inserting a disc, read this.
