Issue with importing pictures from disc to z2?

So I've been going through about 5-6 CD-R cds just to try and figure this issue out. I'm trying to import photos from the CD into the Z2 with no avail.

Each picture I'm putting onto the cd is about 5-6kb's..

The manual says something or other about having at least 200 MB????

 

Not too sure what I am doing wrong. The images all read up into the cd just fine - on my computer. But testing it in like my xbox 360, and obviously my z2, they do not even load up.

 

I've done the instructions correctly I'd say - creating a new "pictures" folder, making sure they are all Jpeg or JPG files..

 

Even tried a cdrom by reformatting it prior into a dvd rom setup.

 

 

Any advice or whatnot? please do chime in, it's driving me nuts! :!:

First of all, use a CD-RW and stop wasting your CDs.

 

You need at least 200MB of data on the disc, so you need to create some junk files. I used a 400MB text file I made of just random crap.

 

Then just put your pics in a "Picture" folder like the manual says.

Why CR-RW and CD-R? manual says CD-R is just fine, unless if you think I want to rewrite the disc to add new pics or something?

Because it saves you money whilst you try out things.... ;)
