Image Backup: DVD Versus CD-R


Is there any loss in image quality if I back up images on DVD compared to CD-R?

  If you mean storing the files on DVD or on CDR, then no.
If you mean creating a DVD-movie slideshow, then yes.
The creation of a movie slide show shrinks the image down to about 720x520 pixels - basically, around 1MP. So you lose a lot of quality.
Simply storing your original files on a DVD to back them up does not affect the quality of the images.
