Amazing! Thank you very much. It turns out that I had Roxio EasyCDCreator
version 5 already installed on my computer and never tried using it since
the Windows one worked just fine for me. They need to call it
CDandDVDCreator for people like me who need everything to be obvious.

I think I can fit all 3900 jpegs of my son's baseball season onto 3 DVD's.
Yay!

That's version 6. Version 5 was created before DVD burners were common,
maybe even before they were really available. Compatibility with DVD drives
was added through patches. Be sure you have the latest patches installed.

Hopefully in at least some kind of directory hierarchy to help you find a
given image easier.

That's great Liz, glad I could help.
Here's the spot for getting upgrades:
http://www.roxio.com/en/support/software_updates.jhtml
You need to register your software so you will need the serial number from
the CD or package it came in. If you don't have that, maybe you can upgrade
to version 6 for a few bucks?
Cheers,
Owen
