• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

This is what I'm trying to do now. I want to put a slide show on a disk @ then play it on TV. I burned some pictures to a DVD+R & put in in my DVD player just to see what would happen. My DVD player wouldn't read it. I'm just experimenting!

You could create an iPhoto or iMovie project and see if it will allow you to do a slideshow-type presenation.

If you just burn photos on a DVD and stick it in the DVD player,

1. You must first finalize the DVD to make it readible by an end-user player and
2. Your DVD player must have a slideshow functionality when it detects a bunch of picture files.

"Finalizing" a disc is an option often disguised as "Make this disc ready for use in other players" or something of the like, I'm sure you've seen it in burning programs before.
