64 bit version does not support exporting to CD/DVD

May 5, 2011 7:43 AM

The ability to burn a cd directly from LR is an extremely important feature which is not supported in the 64 bit version. Please add it to the 64 bit version to work as it does in the 32 bit version. Thanks

    Apparently, it's an OS driver limitation, as has been discussed in the past.

     

    Anyway, opticals are largely obsolete.

    How do you supply your work to your clients Lee Jay?

    What a sweeping and  personal comment.

    I get through about 100 DVD's a month, putting out GB's of images to clients, providing proofs and originals to clients. Not one has asked me to provide the images on a flash disk or to FTP 4 Gb of high resolution TIFFS, I do FTP on occasion, but 80% of my clients dont want to chow bandwidth, and would prefer a disk or 2.

     

    Maybe you are not a professional phtographer who supplies high resolution images to clients, but my clients dont want to FTP huge images, and won't pay for images to be supplied on flash disks.

    This is a little more help.

     

     

    If, as Lee Jay mentions that its an OS limitation which has been discussed ( somehere, but not provided a link), then you will just have to export all the photos to a folder and then burn to a disk.

     

    I export  all my photos to a folder and then I put my terms and conditions as a PDF on the disk as well as a jpeg of my card and contact details.At least the disk has information about the shoot, the photographer and T&C's.

    These things should be on any disk supplied to clients, so they the images get passed around with your details on, so its not a bad thing that LR can't burn to a DVD.

    I do find it disappointing that on 64 bit Windows 7, Explorer can burn DVD's - but Lightroom can't.

    Over the web, mostly.  I end up using 1-2 opticals a year, give or take.  None of my machines even has an optical drive in it, so I have to attach an external in the rare event I need one.
