How do I make a Kodak PhotoCD cd-r that can be played on a Kodak PhotoCD player?

[Bleeding Edge]

I know it can be done. I'm hoping someone here already knows how.

The key issue is the Kodak PhotoCD player has to be able to read the CD.

It's easy enough to open the files on the computer, ...or even make a CD-R with Kodak Image files. But to make one that can be used on a player is a bit more involved. Kodak had software that can do this, but stopped making it around 1997 or so. (And it was astronomically priced at $4000. Arrange-It/Build-It was the name of the soft.)

What I'd like to do, is take the images from a digicam and burn a fully functional Kodak Photo CD.

I'm not looking for a workaround or an alternative solution.

I'm hoping someone here will have this specific knowledge.

I know CDRWIN (and other burning soft like GEAR etc.,) can write a Kodak Photo CD. But it needs software that can generate/arrange the images/data in the proper way. (This was the function of Kodak's Build-It.) And additional software to convert the generated file to a CD image for the burn process.

You'd better contact Kodak about it.
The astronomical price you mentioned is still astronomical, and kodak may well ask you to pay the royalties...

Kodak now uses the PictureCD format, similar to PhotoCD but better (evolution) and still priced as before. I don't know if PhotoCD players can read PictureCD... erm contact Kodak.

Good luck.
