1. You could try using "NeroVision Express" to create your DVD.

2. Some DVD players will show photos burned to the dvd with simple or no folder structure.

I believe you are asking for dvd authoring software. are we talking mp3's here.
you did not get any software with your burner? most of the usual suspects have dvd software offerings (roxio, nero) You can get everything from free to expensive. check out the apple website for free stuff, also the dvd burner websites (especially your burner mfr) such as plextor and pioneer. but the free software there wont' work on anything but their burner. also google 'DVDIt!' for another. for a higher end package, check out Final Cut DVD Studio Pro...

i just looked at the silkscreen on the front of my tv's external dvd player. it says it is 'kodak picture cd' and 'mp3' compatible. check out the capabilities of yours?
anyhow, now i am thinking you want to know how to make a Kodak Photo CD. www.kodak.com has the software and instructions. or you can take your photos on the camera memory stick to a Kodak kiosk and make the CD there. notice it is not a DVD in this case, for this format it is a CD.

You should be able to burn your pictures to DVD through your DVD recording software. Nero allows you to use Photo Snap if they are still images or Nero Player if they are movies. Roxio [Easy CD/DVD Creator} has something similar as well as all the common DVD recording software.

Now the down side it's possible that your DVD player will not read recorded DVD as many do not do this. You'll have to read the manual that came with the DVD player to see if it is capable of reading recorded DVDs.

There is something else to remember here as well CD/DVD isn't a permanent storage media and Kodak recommends only keeping images on a Recorded CD for 3 years as any longer you can start to get the images degrading.

Just something to keep in mind if this is for long term storage.

Sorry to have been so long answering, but have now encountered another problem.I now cannot save (Burn in) any data to a new/unused CD. My Cd drive will read data previously saved on a CD, but will not recognise or save to an unused disc and keeps on saying "Insert a disc in drive E"
Please help.
