Picture slideshow dvd
Picture slideshow dvd
I own a dvd containing a picture slideshow from my Grandpa's funeral. I'm trying to create copies but face some issues. I made one copy onto a cd, unsure if the original being a dvd matters since the cd has enough space. When I try to play it, the cd won't autoplay. VLC doesn't appear as an option in Windows Media Player; it opens but shows an error about the input not being opened. However, when I open the file manually, VLC plays the slideshow correctly.
Perhaps the problem lies in how I transferred the files—by copying and pasting them to the desktop instead of using a USB flash drive. I initially used a blank CD as a USB drive option when inserting a blank cd, then copied the files from the desktop to the CD.
I've also experimented with using a CD/DVD player for burning, but when I paste files onto the CD drive, it says the files are ready but Windows can't read the disc. I then reformat the disc and try again, but VLC still displays errors.
Do I need to use some other software like Nero? I used Nero before, but haven't needed it much lately. Now that I reflect, I might still have older Nero disks, though I'm unsure if they'll work with Windows 11.
Don't understand why I didn't consider that. I used it and it functions properly. However, I observed that without programs like VLC or AnyDvd, the built-in Windows media player can't play it. It doesn't launch automatically. This feels strange since either the media player or legacy players shouldn't handle a picture slideshow.
I identified the problem. There was an issue with the dvd drive on my computer. I encountered difficulties playing the original, having to open and close it multiple times before it worked. After switching to a different drive, the copies made with imgburn functioned correctly in both a standalone DVD player and on the computer. I’m unsure why, but I tried copying using a CD with the working DVD drive, but it still didn’t play in the standalone player. I’m not sure if there’s a setting in imgburn that needs adjusting when using a CD versus a DVD.
