Creating a Photo DVD

You can easily record photos taken with your digital camera from a memory card onto a DVD. You can also create a slideshow DVDs.

Still images stored on an HDD camcorder can also be recorded onto a disc.

Notes

•When recording still images from an HDD camcorder onto a disc, only the still images stored in the camera are available for recording. You cannot record both the video and still images stored in the camera onto a disc at the same time.

•Still images taken with a DVD camcorder and stored on an 8-cm disc cannot be recorded onto a disc with the DVDirect.

Types of Recording

Two types of recording are available for creating photo DVDs: all photo recording and photo select recording.

All photo recording

This method allows you to select at once all of the photos (taken with a digital camera) stored on a memory card or all of the photos on the hard disk of an HDD camcorder and record them onto a DVD with one touch. (Up to 2000 photos can be recorded.)

Photo select recording

This method allows you to select only the photos (taken with a digital camera) that you want to record from a memory card and record them onto a disc.

Types of Photo DVD

The following types of photo DVD can be created with the DVDirect. You can decide which to create at a message prompt that appears when ejecting the disc.
