Portable DVD players also function as digital picture frames.
As with many consumer electronics, portable digital video disc (DVD) players perform as multimedia devices. Units can play movies, music and video games and display pictures. A DVD player that displays photographs becomes a digital photo frame and a money-saver by eliminating your need to purchase a separate product to show your still memories. These players, like digital picture frames, accept many forms of media, making the players more versatile and user-friendly.
Instructions
1. Transfer photos from your computer to a portable media device using a USB storage or jump drive.
Learn if your unit displays digital picture files, or .jpeg files, and what media types your player accepts in addition to digital video discs (DVDs). Find slots on your unit labeled "SD" for memory card and "USB" for universal serial bus storage drives. Also, consult the media types page or section of your owner’s manual.
2. Scan older pictures to your computer to create .jpeg files.
Create picture, or .jpeg files. Insert a memory card into your digital camera or use its internal memory. The camera takes pictures in the .jpeg format. Scan photographs from your album or conventional frames using a scanner connected to your computer. Preview the photograph to assure the image appears as you desire, select the .jpeg file format, press scan and save to your computer.
3. Transfer your picture files from your computer to your media storage device. Insert the memory card or USB drive into your computer. Click the icon on the "My Computer" window for the card or drive. Open in a separate window the folder for your pictures. Highlight the desired files by holding the "ctrl" button and clicking on the file. Drag your cursor with the selected files over the minimized window for your storage device. For DVDs or CDs, highlight the files and click "burn."
4. Insert your memory card, USB drive, DVD or CD into your portable DVD player. Consult your owner’s manual for instructions on displaying photo files. Typical players automatically detect the media storage device and the type of file and will display the pictures.
