How to Transfer Photos From a Computer to DVD Software

You can put your digital photos on a DVD.

With digital cameras being so popular, many people copy their pictures to the computer and then just leave them there, hardly to be looked at again. One way to get your pictures looked at more often is to put them on a DVD, so they can be watched from any TV with a DVD player. Windows has built-in DVD software that will easily allow you to do move your pictures to DVD.

Things You'll Need

• Blank DVD

Instructions

1. Find all of the pictures you want. Right click on the Start button and choose "Open Windows Explorer." Browse through your hard drive and copy each picture you want into one single folder, so that they will be easy to find when you are ready to make the DVD. You can right click in an empty area and choose "New" and then "Folder" to make a new folder for this purpose.

2. Go to the Start menu and click on "All Programs" and look for Windows DVD Maker. If you don't see it, you can type it in the search box in the Start menu to find it. Click on the program to start it. You can use other DVD software if you have it, but this software is a free part of Windows Vista and Windows 7.

3. Add your pictures to the software. In the section where it says "Add pictures and video to the DVD" click on the "Add items" button. Browse to the folder with your pictures and select all of the pictures you want. In DVD Maker then choose "Next."

4. Insert a blank DVD. Choose your menu styles and then click "Burn." It will take some time to create and then burn the DVD.
