How to Copy a JPEG to DVD
Windows 7 makes it incredibly easy to copy your JPEG images to DVD. This is great for backup purposes, but it may also allow you to view your images in your standard DVD player. Most modern DVD players have no trouble with homemade DVDs and even have a built-in slide-show program for continuous viewing. Using the correct disk and finalizing it properly will ensure maximum compatibility.
