text: what kind of cd to purchase to burn a slideshow? i am very stupid incomputer stuff, but finally figured out my adobe album starter and arranged a slideshow with my son's band's music for the background. iwant to burn it now but need to understand what type of cd to purchase. i thought dvd was for video and cd for audio, anyway, adobe says a cd for video. does this cd have a special name? by a "slideshow" i am guessing that you will have a series of still pictures, with the band music in the background.  if so, a cd will work fine.    it's like a kodak picture -cd.  (if you had "movie" type video, a dvd would give a much higher quality picture.)  really, any type of cd will work fine.    i use cd-r  700mb.  they are relatively inexpensive, and no one can accidentally erase your slideshow or  write other data on top of it.   if there are differences between brands, i have not been able to detect it.   i usually use tdk.  most of the newer dvd players can read picture cd's so you can watch your slideshow on tv's too.  have fun!
