What software and hardware do I need to burn my photos and video clips from my pc to a media which I could then insert into my television DVD player for viewing on TV?
Standard DVD players are often compatible with several different formats. Some of the common formats include: 1. DVD-R 2. DVD-RW 3. DVD+R 4. DVD+RW 5. CD-R – VCD Format 6. CD-R – SVCD Format 7. CD-R – Mini-DVD Format 8. CD-RW – VCD Format 9. CD-RW – SVCD Format 10. CD-RW – Mini-DVD Format The problem is that most DVD players are compatible with some of the formats and not others. The bigger problem is that the manual will usually not tell you which formats work. Usually, the only way to tell is try it (unless you are lucky enough to have a manual that does tell you that your unit is compatible). The least expensive method would be a CD-RW drive w/ Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.0 Platinum Edition. If your DVD player is compatible with CD-R discs using the VCD, SVCD, or Mini-DVD format, Easy CD Creator Platinum will have all of the features that you require.
