I just purchased a new HP Pavilion notebook PC that has a Pioneer
DVR-K17B ATA Drive. The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium
( 32 bit).
When I burn a CD containing .JPG's using windows mastered format, I am
unable to view a slide show on my Panasonic DVD Recorder Model
DMR-EZ27. The error says the CD is not compatible. I burned the CD
using Windows. Is there a firmware update for the Pioneer burner that
will resolve the compatibility issue with my Panasonic recorder. I have
another question that no one seems to be able to answer. Is my
incompatibility being caused by the windows software that I used to
burn the CD, by the Pioneer DVR-K17B ATA Drive or Vista writing the
file in an unknown format? I first burned the CD with "Live File
System" format rather than "Mastered" format and I was unable to read
on windows 98 computer or my Panasonic Recorder. Once I select the
"Mastered" format Windows 98 no longer had a compatibility problem but
CD was still incompatible with Panasonic recorder. Any help would be
greatly appreciated or if you could lead me to someone that could offer
assistance.

"Is there a firmware update for the Pioneer burner that

You would go to the Pioneer web site to check.

This is probably a silly question, but are you finalizing the CD?

I first created the cd indicating I wanted "Live File System" format,
which is finalized but not compatible on other windows operating
systems or other recorders. So I recreated the cd and used "Mastered"
format which is supposed to make it compatible., however the help says
it closes the session but doesn't need to be finalized. It is now
compatible on my windows 98 computer but still not on my panasonic
recorder. I talked to Panasonic and they also asked the question about
being finalized. According to Microsoft, Live File System format needs
to be finalized but not "Mastered" format. Does any one know how I can
finalize the mastered format instead of just closing the session.

Hi Jeanne,
I may be very late, but would like to know if you solved your problem
with the Pavilion CD. Last week I bought a Pavilion and tried recording
jpg photos onto a CD. In mastered format I was able to read it on my
Sony DVD player, but the resolution was terrible.
Being new to digital photos, recording them on CDs, etc. I hoped you
would share your experiences with me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm having a similar problem: I can't finalize/close session on dvd+r's
that I have formatted with the live file system. Doesn't seem to work.
I've put the dvd in, right clicked on the drive and clicked close
session and nothing happens. I've notice though that sometimes the
bubble pops up in the corner really quickly then disappears but
otherwise it does nothing. So I can't play these dvd's on my DivX
player. Any ideas?

Why on earth did you format it the disc first. Now you have your answer
