making view only cds

does anyone know how to burn photos to a cd so that they can only be viewed and not transferred or printed? preferably without having to do a lot to change format

This is going out on a limb, but if you have a Mac, use iDvd/iMovie to make a photograph slideshow. It'd then be impossible to transfer any data or print anything, because there are no individual files.

If you don't have a Mac, then I'm sorry, but I'm not that helpful with Windows applications. :\ I'm sure there's a similar program that you could buy or download.

Good luck!

You would still be able to print screen or whatever though. If someone can see the pictures, then they can save and print them too. There isnt raelly a way around it. unless you make the pictures of not a good enough quality that anyone would want to print

Oh, at least on some computers, I know that if you have a DVD playing application open, you are not allowed to open a screen-capturing application. Copyright and such... It's pretty cool, but frustrating at the same time.

But I do agree- it's difficult.
