DVD burning software
I have a Dell Gen 3 about 1 1/2 years old with two dvd drives. The
burning software "Sonic" that came loaded on it is crap. Can someone recommend a better burning software? What I want to do is burn slideshow digital photos to dvd so that I can view them on my TV dvd player Thanks

DVD burning software
You can try one of two free cd/dvd burning packages, cdburnerxppro or burn4free
.. I'm not sure what format your TV DVD player accepts. You may need more than a DVD burning package to change the photos into one of the formats used by the TV DVD player. Sonic is very basic software... Ben Myers On Sat, 06 Jan 2007 15:25:06 -0600, Ole wrote: I have a Dell Gen 3 about 1 1/2 years old with two dvd drives.

DVD burning software
I'd recommend late versions of Roxio (version 7 or later) or Nero
(version 6 or later). Both should be fully updated from their respective web sites after initial installation. Do not install the "packet writing" software option of any of these products, and remove the packet writing software option of the Sonic package (Sonic calls it "DLA" (drive letter access); Roxio calls it either "Direct CD" or "Drag to Disc"; Nero calls it "InCD").

Check out Picasa2. I know that it can create self starting CDs. Not sure
about DVDs..... Regards, Hank Arnold Ole wrote: I have a Dell Gen 3 about 1 1/2 years old with two dvd drives. The burning software "Sonic" that came loaded on it is crap.

I think what I need is a recommendation for sideshow software that will enable me to burn cd's or dvd's and watch them on a tv dvd player. Maybe something from Adobe or equivalent. Thanks

DVD burning software
CDburnerXpPro's incompatibility problems pale with the problems of trying to use
an older version of either Roxio or Nero with a newer drive. Both of the commercial products build extensive tables of supported drives in the registry. If your drive is not in the table, forget it...

Thanks Roxio EMC v. 7 and up will do just fine. I recently up-graded to v. 9 and it is a bit of a pig.

Why un-install Drag to Disc? What are its "issues"? TIA

DVD burning software
The only issue I can see is the unreliability of CD-RW and DVD-RW rewritable
media, which are expensive to buy. Overall, people are much better off with the cheaper "write-once" media, which can also be reused to certain extent if the CD/DVD burning software supports multi-session burning. Perhaps Barry can describe any other issues more eloquently...
