In iPhoto, when you burn images onto a disc they are organized into directories, much like on the hard drive. Is there a way to put the images into the root of the disc and have no directories?

Well, how about not doing the burning in iPhoto? Is there a way to select images from iPhoto and get them moved into a directory for burning?

Thanks in advance for any help.

fobside. Here is the answer I found within iPhoto help.

------------------------

Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company

You can use iPhoto's burn feature to archive your photos and albums for viewing in iPhoto only. If you want to create a disc to be viewed on a Windows computer or by a photo processing company, you must use the Finder.


1. In iPhoto, select the album or albums you want to burn to disc.
2. Choose Share > Export.
3. Click the File Export button at the top of the Export Photos window.
4. In the File Export pane, change the desired options:

Format: Choose a file format for your exported images from the Format pop-up menu. (Depending on the source of the images, you may want to choose JPG to ensure compatibility.)

Size: If necessary, scale images to a specific size by specifying a maximum width and height.

Name: Choose whether to export photos with their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name. Be sure to select the "Use extension" checkbox to add the file format extensions (such as ".jpg" or ".tiff") to the end of the photos' filenames, titles, or album names.


5. Click Export.

6. Choose a location for the photos you are exporting, then click OK.

7. When the export is finished, quit iPhoto.

8. Click the Finder icon in the Dock and insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.

9. Drag the folder that contains your exported photos onto the disc's icon.

10. When the files have finished copying, choose File > Burn Disc, and then click Burn.
