What kind of disk do you need to burn pictures?

Answer 1

Do you mean to play videos or a slideshow on a DVD player? If so, it depends on your DVD player. Some DVD players can run videos from a regular CD, while others can't

If you mean what kind of CD is needed to STORE pictures and video, it really doesn't matter. You can use a CD, a DVD, or even a Blu-Ray disk.

Answer 2

You can use pretty much all types of CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray disks to burn pictures. All disks that that you can write to (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, etc) will work for pictures (you cannot write to a CD-ROM). Although you can burn pictures to all types of disks, some types of devices only accept certain types of disks.

Having that in mind, I suggest you choose which disk you wish to use by the following criteria:

1. The size of the disk (CDs are 700MB & DVDs are 4.2GB-8GB)

2. How many times you want to write to it (R - once or RW - many times)

3. By what you want to use the disc for (don't put pictures on a blu-ray disk and try to play them on a normal DVD player).

Answer 3

You can use a CD-ROM RW but a DVD-ROM RW will work, specially if you mean picture slideshows or videos.

If you mean just as a place to store your pictures then you can use either one. Just drag them inside the disk and its ready to be stored/moved to a computer.

Answer 4

All CDs store information the same way, so any recordable CD will work. It does not matter if the CD is called "Photo CD" or "Music CD" or nothing at all, just "CD-R" or "CD-RW"

Answer 5

The same type you use for music. They hold any form of data.

Answer 6

you don't need anything special you just need a CD-DVD R or just a CD rome basically just a blank disk
