what do I need to transfer pics on my laptop to a dvd/cd?
I am trying to find out if I need A special Burner or whatever to transfer pics from my Toshiba Laptop to a Cd Or dvd?
Greg,
Hopefully you have already gotten an answer. If not...the answer is, "Yes", you will need a CD/DVD write capable drive to transfer your pictures to a CD or DVD, though it does not have to be installed in your laptop.
There's nothing "special" about the burner: most laptops and PCs nowadays (easily within the past 5 years) have a CD and/or DVD capable drive that both reads and writes.
If your laptop does not have a CD/DVD burner installed, you can purchase an external USB drive like the ones below from Best Buy.
If you're technically inclined you can install a CD/DVD burner into your laptop yourself, or have a friend or the Geek Squad install it for you.
If you have a desktop or other PC with a burner and your laptop does not have one, then you could copy the pictures to a USB key and then plug the key into the computer with the burner.
And...if you have extra bucks to spend, look at the blu-ray (BD)drives. There are two types to choose from: those that play blu-ray (BD)media and those that both play and write to blu-ray (BD) media
Lots of options here...good luck.
