Ok, here's what I'm trying to do. I spent a little time trying to figure it out on my own, but I thought it would be a lot easier to turn it over to the experts (all of YOU!)...
I have both a Nikon D100 and a Canon Powershot S30. I am trying to hook either camera up to the VCR to display pictures on the screen, which I can do just fine provided that I am displaying photos that I shot with those cameras.
Ultimately, I am trying to display .jpg images that aren't just photos, though, and that's where I'm having trouble.
I'd like to use this camera interface so that I can make some creative titles that I'll use on videotapes. So I want to make some nice scenes, add text and so forth. But when I try this, the cameras both decide that the .jpg format isn't compliant with the camera, and it won't display either on the camera's screen or on the TV.
So the question is, does anyone know what .jpg property is being twisted when I create an image in Photoshop and put it on the CF card?
I should also note that in my experimenting, I have simply been altering photos directly on the card; when I put the card back into the camera, it tells me the .jpg isn't readable.
I have a nice, shiny nickel for anyone who can answer this :) |

I am not sure but it could be a file allocation table "FAT" problem between your pc and camera.ie. one could be fat32 and the other fat16.
This is why you should always format your card in the camera.
I may be wrong ,but it could be this.

I believe that every camera has it's own proprietery viewing system. If the picture has been manipulated or changed outside of the camera itself it wouldn't read it.
You may have to purchase something like this or another device like it.
..Or download pictures onto a videotape and use a video editor where you can add type.

Thanks for the guesses... but the winner of the shiny nickel is (drum roll)... me!
I messed with it a bit more, and I found that it worked so long as I saved it at a lower quality. In Photoshop 7 I was saving it at "12," which is the highest quality. When I backed it down a few notches it worked just fine.
It worked fine this way with the Canon; I haven't tried it with the Nikon yet. |
