    I'm brand new to Photo Story 3 and to CDs burning for that matter. I created a
    "photo story" and now want to burn it to a disc to play it on a home DVD
    player. I just tried it and was unsuccessful (the disc would not read on our
    DVD player). I used a blank DVD-R 8X disc and burned it (from Windows Media
    Player 10) using our 16x DVD-RW drive. In Photo Story 3 I selected the
    DVD-NTSC in settings (which is what my DVD player manual says it uses). What
    am I doing wrong? Do I have the right kind of discs? Appreciate any help....
    Thanks

    Update: I just read in my home DVD player manual that DVD-RAM and DVD-ROM
    discs will not play in our player. CD-R and CD-RW discs will however. Does
    this
    mean that I need to burn it on that type of disc? If so, what is the purpose
    of having a DVD burner? Isn't the video quality of DVD supposed to be better
    than Video CDs? But if I burn a DVD, it won't play on a typical home DVD
    player? I'm confused. The DVD+R blank discs I just bought are Memorex and
    they say on the label "high playback compatibilty with home DVD players".
    Again, I'm a
    newbie and am totally confused. Greatly appreciate any help...I'm working on
    a project for my daughter's Volleyball team and have a deadline. Need to be
    able to burn the "Photo Story" on to individual discs for each team member
    and coaching staff and to play it at an upcoming team banquet. Thanks again...
