I am trying to put some of my holiday photos to disc from the computer.?

Question

How many will my CD hold as I can only get 38 on and I have about 500? Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

depends on size of images, for example 50kb compared to 5mb, and the size of the cd, usually around 600± mb capacity, your images would estimate about 15 mb each, which sound like large raw files, or possibility that cd has files on it already, and not enough space is left,if so try new cd,

then the type of cd with cd/dvd burner and program, if you require more cd space, the dvd has 4gb± space, and enough to hold files,

if you only have cd's  & burner, check and verify size of image in megabyes, and check free space on cd-rom, before copying files,

you also have option to resize copies of images to smaller jpg format to use on cd, if these are original backups, you may need more cd's
