using cd burner xp I managed to get 300 jpegs on the dvd plus
a small video clip.
The jpegs play ok in my dvd player,
but I just cant get the video to play
maybe its not a good idea to mix the two files on the same disc ?
This is perfectly normal. Your DVD player supports the playback of JPEGs, but not the playback of whatever format the video clip is in. Check the DVD manual or Google to see if there are any video formats which it will support.
I picked it up a few years ago with proud buy of a VHS/DVD Combo recorder (OH insisted we had legacy support) and ownership of a PC just about fast enough for video authoring/editing.
Stick a known working movie in your computer and Explore it instead of playing it.
You will see two folders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.
VIDEO_TS contains movie clips that are .vob files. You will have enough of them for the whole movie.
.ifo files are needed with extra info to tell the player/computer how to play them.
(with menus etc)
Basically programs like DVD Flick take your avi and mpg files and convert them to .vobs, add the .ifos and stick them in the right directory structure. that's all.
There is also another way of doing it with .vro files but Video and vobs works on any player.
Don't worry about it for now.
you d think that "cd burner xp" would take care of all that and write a 70 meg video clip onto the dvd disc no probs .... am I wrong ?
It has written the 70 meg video clip onto the dvd disc no probs though, as files as you asked it. Its just not authored it as a proper DVD. DVDs do also just store random data files perfectly legitimately now, even doc files etc.
Of course I went for the data disc option that says create iso images, burn usual data discs, mp3 cds and video discs.....
what else is there ?
audio disc
burn iso images
copy or grab disc
erase disc
come to think about it, maybe the format of my video did nt fit in,
it was a slide show created with photostage
maybe if I converted it to mpeg1 then it might work ?
Please please please sign up to an offsite storage company.
I recently started using myotherdrive and pay $5 a month for 100gb, which for me is good.
I've experienced losing photos and important data, which was also backed up on an external hard drive.
Both the external and internal hard drive failed at the same time and I lost everything.
Even a friend of mine who works in forensics couldn't recover the data!

CDBurnerXP cannot create a DVD Video disk from scratch itself. It requires some other software to do the "authoring" of the source video clips to create the necessary vob etc files.

flagpole what planet are you on, I collect tons of pics from the net and they are 100k 120 k
when you start talking meg you are talking really big pics.
If I post to a forum I try to get the pic to 100 k as an average .
At least now with cd burn xp I have a means of using dvd s to store photos, and lets face it, these days a pack of dvds storing 3 plus gig is cheaper than a pack of cds storing 700 meg !
I think if I want to burn movie clips onto a dvd Ill have to go to
dvd flick

Photos from my phone go from ~700KB to ~2.5MB it all depends on the number of colours as my phone creates JPGs
I recently burned some photos.. jpegs... onto a dvd disc
No problems, the only thing is, looking at them on the TV Im not sure if Im getting as good a picture quality as I did putting them on a CD using the CD writing Wizard
could it be that using DVDs Im not getting as good a result ?

I guess it's producing a DVD video disk which is quite low resolution.

and the built in wizard to do it.
Im told now that xp wont burn to a dvd ..... maybe thats why the jpeg files disappear when I put in a dvd disc
Looks like Im going to have to use some other software , stand alone software, to burn jpegs to a dvd
surely it must be possible !!!
Ill give it a try !
a small video clip.

why should this be any different ?
Maybe I should nt mix... jpegs and movie clips on one disc
but anyway, if the disc is finalized it should play on any machine.
To play in a DVD player, a disk has to be authored as a DVD; you can't just put files on it and hope that it works. Finalising is something separate.
DVD flick must have been doing the authoring process for you.
, a disk has to be authored as a DVD;
end quote
you re getting above my head there
A DVD has files of a particular type placed in folders with particular names. Otherwise most ordinary DVD players won't recognise it.
The authoring process converts your files to the type required.
Some modern DVD players can handle disks with just pictures and video clips on them, but even then only certain formats will work.
It's amazing what a web search finds

You told it to create a data DVD consisting of JPEGs and a video clip. So a data DVD containing JPEGs and a video clip was exactly what it created.
Creating a 'movie' DVD which will playback on a DVD player is a different thing entirely.

burn iso images

And as the OP already has DVD Flick, this should be used for making 'Video DVDs' and CDBurnerXP should be used for making 'Data DVDs'.
what pictures are 350k? even my phone's camera results in ~2meg pictures.
