Burning Pictures - Why does it take so long?

I'll assume I am doing something incorrect. I am trying to burn
pictures to a CD-R. I select what pictures I want then click burn.
After inserting the CD and naming it the program then calculates how
much time it will take. Often it says 7 or 8 hours!

What is a faster way? Is there a "more correct" way?

Thanks -
C

Yus. This happens to me too, with any type of file. Are you formatting,
when it asks you, the disc as a Live file system? That could be the
problem.

Have you tried just copying the picture files to the CD?

Well, when I did it, I clicked burn items to CD, I think. IDK, it's been a
while...
