As for burning stuff to a disc , it is easy as long as you have a burning program. When trying to put photos on discs, you need to right click on the picture and choose properties to see how big the photo is, for example I take photos of flowers and to send them in email I have to make sure that they are a certain size as well as MB size. If the MG size is too large you will not get many on the disc, also make sure the disc is of a size that will be capable of storing several Gigabytes.
If you need a program that will resize your pictures with out distorting them is Ifranview. You can get it at this website. It is a free program:
