Creating/Viewing a Photo DVD

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

decide which to create at a message prompt that appears when ejecting the
disc.
