Guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 You have to create a folder on the CD-R called "Pictures" Put your jpg's in that folder and then burn the CD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kolchak Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 yes- i did that on the second try, still same thing happens... reading cd, then nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sportsfan21 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Don't burn it using XP/Vista. You have to use a burning program like Nero. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Sometimes computers come with Sonic Record Now burning software or a scaled down version of Nero. Try one of those. You can download a trial version of Nero from www.download.com for free and burn it that way. If you still have trouble after that, try a different brand of CD-R's.

ducatiboy Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 As others have said already: Burn with Nero or a burning program don't use windows built in CD burner. You might need 100 megs or so of junk. Put your jpg's in the pictures folder on the CD. Some other things to try: You want your CR burned as "universal" as possible. Many formats and settings are only reliably read by a windows computer. What I also did was in nero go to the settings for the burned CD, set it to: Data Mode 1, ISO 9660 only, file names 8.3 format (and save your jpgs as 8.3 format with simple charters no jpgs like "my bad @ss truck.jpg" or whatever, just "truck1.jpg"), keep the label simple, no spaces. If the jpgs aren't being seen then it's a problem with the format of the cd or the medium you are burning on or the lack of 100 megs of filler data for the cd to read. If you can see the jpg files and they are not importing that's a problem with the way you saved your jpgs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
