How do I create a PhotoCD?
First off, you need to be aware that certain aspects of PhotoCD creation are proprietary to Kodak. Programs like Roxio’s Easy CD Creator will allow you to create CD-ROMs with PhotoCD image files, and you will be able to view the images with Mac or PC programs that understand the PhotoCD file format, but you won’t be able to look at the disc with a PhotoCD player. http://www.kodak.com/country/US/en/corp/pressReleases/pr19950328-10.shtml has the glossy brochure information, with some Kodak contact information. The Build-It and Arrange-It software, which allow you to create “real” PhotoCDs, costs about US$450. Kodak apparently pulled the software from the market in December 1997, so it may be difficult to find. http://www.shiresoft.com/ gives you step-by-step instructions and software for creating “real” PhotoCD discs with Kodak’s software.
