How To Transfer Photos To DVD

By Merle Nixon


Using digital photography to capture the memorable occasions in your life is the latest hype among many people. They mostly use digital cameras and phones to do this. These gadgets store the photos in memory cards and sticks which get full after a while and need to be freed of storage space so as to continue functioning. To free the storage space one copies them to a secure location on the computer so as they can later use the computer to transfer photos to DVD.

Some of these other storage media include memory cards, memory sticks, CDs, DVDs or the computer hard drive. Transferring them to some of these devices such as the memory card and sticks is easy since the devices can be easily fitted in cameras or phones via special slots and the photos stored in them. However transferring them to DVDs, CDs and the hard disk is quite difficult and involves the use of certain other applications so as to effectively do so.

Transferring the photographs to DVD usually involves the use of several other gadgets and applications. One example of these gadgets is a data cable. This is a cable that has two jacks at both ends. One of the jacks is designed in such a way that it can be fitted in the camera or phone.

DVDs also have a large storage capacity. This enables them to hold very many photographs at once. The number can range to the tens of thousands depending on the sizes of each photo. This is advantageous in that one can store many albums therefore offering a great collection in one disk that is more interesting to view.

When this is done software called a burner is used to select the photographs that are going to be copied and creates a list of them. It also manages the amount of data to be copied depending on the storage capacity available on the disk. Then it is used to define how you want the photographs to be arranged in the DVD. Once this is done the blank disk is placed in the DVD writer drive for burning.

It is also easy for one to access their photographs anywhere so long as they have carried their digital albums. This is because computers are not scarce and are in almost every place that you go. Many of them have drives that can read DVDs thus enabling one to virtually access their photos anywhere via the computers.

That is how you transfer photos to DVD from a camera or a phone. This helps one to store them in a safe place and also creates more free space in the capturing media for more photos to be taken.
