Do you have another Photo Editor besides Picture Project?
Sometimes OEM software is of low quality since it's free.
Just enough to get your images on the computer but no more.
If possible try another photo editor, Irfanview (free) Photoshop, or
Paint Shop Pro...etc.

Review your DVD player documents. Some DVD
players state in the small print that only CD-RWs
will work for viewing images. I had the same
problem as you with my Sony, switched to CD-RW
and the problem disappeared.

Did you finalize the CD before viewing it on the DVD player?

Excuse my ignorance but how do I do that? The Nikon Picture Project
software has a 'burn' button. You select the collection of photos that you
want to burn and then click the button (you can select whether you want to
burn a back-up copy or a copy for sharing on either pc or tv), Once the burn
is complete the CD self ejects from the drive. Since my initial post I have
burned a second copy of the photos and this time I managed to get a complete
set of thumbnails to appear on the TV via the DVD player. The quality was
very poor on the shown pictures, however, and over half were completely
corrupted. This same CD, again, shows perfectly when viewed via my PC,
however.

Thanks for that Bob. I do have Photodeluxe Home Edition and will give that a
try.

I have tried a CD-RW and there is no difference - the DVD player sits there
with 'Loading' scrolling across the small display for ages and then
eventually the image viewer appears on the screen but only one of the
thumbnail's appear. With a lot of fiddling I can get the other images to
display one by one but most are seriously corrupted.
