Re: Saving iPhoto photos

Neither of your proposal does work.

The problem is that all these methods save photos with their resource fork file, which, when burned to a CD/DVD, cause my TV DVD player to see two files, the main file which is shown, and another mute and black file, which is shown too, but within a blank screen.

I could resolve this problem copying all the photos with ditto --norsrc like

$ ditto --norsrc start/directory end/directory

of course into Terminal (but this is not a problem to me, used to use a Linux OS).

Then, I could burn the end/directory with pleasant results. Now my TV DVD player sees just __only__ photos.

I didn't mean to get a backup copy of iPhoto pictures, nor to make a simple backup of some albums, just as you simply suggested.
