Just made a CD of a set of pictures. Using IE 10.


Before starting ensured all of the pictures were the correctly aligned, ie Portrait & landscape in correct mode.


Made CD played on computer & all OK.


Then played on DVD, Panasonic S27, pictures taken in Portrait mode show 90 degrees out of phase.


Questions why & how to rectify (other than using “Angle button on Remote”)

What did you use to take the pictures?

I didn't know you could make a CD using IE10 :unsure:

I took the pictures with a Sony DSC-H20

Should have said that I made the CD using the content from Windows 7.

Must impress that when the CD is played back on the Computer the pictures are all aligned correctly.

Are these in computer format (jpeg, gif or whatever)?

If so, is your DVD player able to play these formats?

They are jpeg format

Yes, the DVD player does accept these formats & all of the pictures are displayed but those taken in Portrait mode are 90 degrees out of phase, ie laying on their side.

Again I stress that if the CD is played on the computer all of the pictures show correctly

What did you use to rotate the pictures before putting them on to the CD?

Do you use Picasa on your system? Picasa preview will show pictures auto-rotated, even if they are not actually rotated.

Generally to rotate I click right on the Mouse & select correct rotation, but in this case for some reason all of the pictures were showing correctly in Win. 7 even though some were in Portrait mode.

Yes I do have Piccasa but only use for "Titling"

Open the incorrectly rotated images in some imaging software like Photoshop, Paint.net, ... and see if they are really rotated.

Picasa preview may show it to you correctly, but that is just a "view".

have not tried this yet, but they are all showing the correct way round in Win. 7 does this mean this is just a "view"?

Just tried the CD on a new DVD player & all pictures show correct way up.


So think it's something to do with the Panasonic S27 DVD Player I purchased in 2004 that is causing the problem


But can't see why it was OK when I made CD's using Windows XP but now problem using Windows 8

Did you ever open one of these pictures in an imaging program? That should show you instantly where the problem lies.

No, I did not have either of the Programs installed & when I went to install Paint.net it also started to load other Programs like "Full disc Fighter even though I had unchecked this box, hence I aborted.

But as I did say on a previous post all of the pictures are showing the correct way up in windows 8 so I think they are correct also when I play the CD I have burnt on another DVD player, a very modern one, the pictures show correctly.

Hence I feel that my DVD player some 8 years old is not comparable with windows 8 whilst it was compatible with XP

Paint.net is not bundled with any 3rd-party software if you download it from its original developer's site http://www.getpaint.net/download.html#download



But you can also use Windows' own imaging program Paint to view images and see their rotation status.

Thanks for the help.

Have now put into Windows Paint & all pictures are showing correctly.

Hence I think this means that the old DVD player is for some reason now seeing the Portrait items correctly.

But I'm still a bit confused as to why they were OK when I made CD's using XP, any suggestions?

No ideas?

I'm still struggling with this problem!

It's a Sony DSC-H20 camera so I thought I would download the Sony Software & use this to move the pictures from the camera to the computer & also to make the CD.

On doing this the pictures all show the correct way up on computer & when I play the CD on the computer. But when I play the CD on the Panasonic DVD player the pictures taken in Portrait mode show 90 degrees out of phase.

This did not occur in the past when I was using the previous Sony software & XP.

As an idea after downloading the pictures to the computer I have tried to "Trick" the DVD player by rotating one of the correctly set up pictures by 90 degrees & then making a CD.

Believe it or not it gave the same result as before ie the Portrait mode picture was on its side.

Any ideas to solve other than to buy a new DVD player?
