gi7omy Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 If you are trying to do a straight copy from CD to DVD it won;t work (the sizes are different) Copy your files to a temp folder on the hard drive and copy them to the DVD from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you... You will have to supply a lot more information. What do you mean by "copy a slideshow which is on a CD to a DVD"? Are you just referring to the photo files or an actual slideshow created with some program? What program did you use? In what format is the slideshow? What program are you using to copy the slideshow? If you want to create a slideshow on the DVD you can't simply copy from CD to DVD even if you first copy to the hard drive. A slideshow on a DVD (which is actually a movie on the DVD) has to be created via myDVD or some other slideshow creation program. BTW, posting to a thread 9 months old is poor practice since very few people will see the post and respond. You should start a new topic and explain a bit more what you are trying to do and what you have done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slideshow on a DVD (which is actually a movie on the DVD) has to be created via myDVD or some other slideshow creation program. I have a family slide show I made using Adobe Phototshop 4. When done I put iot on a CD but it won't play in many players. So I thought if I copied it onto a DVD it would be more compatible with all DVD players. That is why I am hoping there is a way to copy from a video CD to DVD. Roxio told me Creator 9 would do this so I purchased it... but no luck... I hope I have made this more clear. I thank you for trying to help me!! Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 As was said back in January - you will have to 'rip' the photos from the CD and create a new slideshow with EMC9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried it several times with different blank discs but the drawer pops out & I get the same old message.."please inser etc..." I have used DVD-R...DVD+R... also different brands. What am I doning wrong??? Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 You're missing the point - you do NOT copy the CD to a DVD, that will NOT work Put in the CD, go to it, select the photos and copy those to the hard drive Then, use the photos on the hard drive to create a new slide show When you have done that - THEN put in a blank CD and burn the newly made slide show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I doning wrong??? Joey Are you talking about a DVD player in a computer system or stand-alone DVD players. I have no idea what format your Photoshop slideshow is in. If it has an exe extension then there is no way it will work on a DVD player even if you could copy it to a DVD. Your best bet is to recreate the slideshow using Videowave/myDVD and the original photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
