Saving Pictures from Multiple Folders
When saving pictures from several different folders to CD or DVD, create a new folder in the collection list to hold only the collections or pictures that will be saved. For each collection in the new folder, a corresponding folder will be created on the disc. If All Photos or Last Import is selected when the disc is created, all pictures will be copied to the root directory of the CD or DVD. Pictures with the same name will be renamed by adding a number to the file name.

Multiple Discs
If the selected folder or collection contains more pictures than will fit on a single disc, multiple discs will be created.
