Recently I get the sega Saturn software Photo CD and I want to burn a CD with photos , but I have no idea

What program I use to burn PhotoCD´s?

Can you help me please.

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English

Not really shure, but I guess there is a special image format that it can read. Perhaps jpg. You could try, since I dont think you need the protection ring for photo-cds.

I believe you need the Kodak special photo CD format. Google for it or something... I'm not sure if it's possible to burn those at home, with consumer burners.

It is possible to burn a Photo CD with a consumer burner, but you need software capable of creating a Photo CD.

I have made Photo CDs for my VCD daughter card before. And yes, those were offical Kodak Picture CDs playable in any PhotoCD compatable unit. Psudo VCD Photo CDs are not the same.

Since the format is closed, You need the special Kodak Photo CD Mastering software, Special SCSI Burner, and CD Writing software released by Kodak to the photo developers. But if your smart, you will convert the Kodak Image to a standard binary so any burner will work.

But of course you won't impart this knowledge upon us mere mortals.

I remember I had a look on that a long time ago. The only software I found to make PCD files was Graphic Workshop. I'm sure there was a release of Easy CD Creator which was able to burn Kodak Photo Cd (I had it).

Please people let Photo CD's die already. They really were pointless at the time and now we have Picture CD's which use the much more convinent and better jpg format. God I hate photo cd's with a passion.

The only drawback of this format it's that it makes big files when you choose to store a picture in 3 or 4 resolutions. There are no other picture viewer on Saturn. I tried to make one (it works fine), but you have to convert all your files to Saturn file format and these files are RAW files so there are big too.

If you read the specs of Easy CD Creator, it does NOT create compatable Photo CDs. Photo CDs are proprietory to Kodak. Easy CD simply makes its own Psudo disks. And regarding image conversions, that doesn't make a diffrence since you need the mastering software to compile a CD (Similar to a DVD Authoring software). And then after that you'd have a Kodak image file which needs to be converted to BIN to burn the image. Otherwise you need the Kodak CD-R burner that came with the pack.

And before anyone else starts messaging my box, No I won't ISO my HK disk for an FTP, No kodak wouldn't sell it to you, no it isn't sold anymore, and no you couldn't afford it even if it did.

i have access to a Kodak Photo CD BUrner. i do not know if it works or not, and i do not know how to hook it up, but i am certain that if it's still in the shop i can have it for free.

any clue on how to hook it up to a PC? what about software?

well maybe you could make some sort of ghetto-ass photoCD-like thing... burn a CD with all your images in HTML files and put the netlink browser on it
