Windows 10: Burning Photos to DVD using Microsoft 10

I want to burn photos to a DVD. When doing this, the results worked well on my PC (i.e., I can play the developed photo show) but the disk will not play on my DVD player. I have been told by my son that I have burned "data" rather than photos. How can I fix things so that the disk will burn photos rather than Data? He doesn't know how to advise me about this issue.

How do I burn photos to dvd from Microsoft photos

Hi Barrie,

Windows 10's Photos app is mainly designed as a photo viewer. If you want to burn the photos to your DVD disc, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Insert the DVD disc.
• Go to the location of the photos that you want to burn and select it. For example:
  This PC > Pictures.
• Under the Share tab on the upper part of the window, select the
  Burn to disc option.
• Once finished, right-click the drive's icon in File Explorer
  and press Eject .

Also, if you want our developers to hear your thoughts, you can post it on
Feedback Hub to improve your Windows experience.
