I have burned my photostory easy slideshow to a DVD+RW disc. I can play the slideshow on my computer but cannot play it on my blue ray dvd player. I think I just answered my own question. I need to burn it on a blue ray dvd to play in on my blue ray player, correct?
Hi

No - all Blu-ray players should be able to play DVD's.
The most likely causes are a disc issue ie not being recognized by the player or the disc was not burned in the correct way.
Did you burn the DVD using Photostory?
If so which menu template did you use and what make and type of discs did you use?
If not how did you burn the disc?

Hi John, thank you so much for replying to my post . I used a Staples DVD + RW discs and I did it on the photostory easy program. I chose burn to disc, selected DVD, click on continue, then it came up with a DVD burning window with some options to choose burner encoder settings burning speed Etc I just left the default one, and hit the start burn process. At the end it said that the burn was complete.
Just to add to what John said previously:
It may be that your BD Player does not like rewritable discs, especially "generic" ones sold under the Staples brand. This is not a comment on "Staples" discs, rather a recognition that not all blank discs are manufactured equally!

Hi
Check your BD player manual or search the Internet to find out which rewriteables are supported - note if this is an 'economy' BD player it and it does support rewriteables, it may still have problems with some types of dye and is unable to read the disc.
Personally I do not use DVD+RW, I found they are not as reliable as DVD-RW (Verbatim) which I have had no issues with playability.

Thanks so much John, I ended up using an SD disk and "plugged it" into my blue ray player and that worked. will research the disc issue later. Thanks again!!
