What models of DVD players are you using?
Some DVD players can take a CD-ROM that just has jpegs on it (the players have a built-in slideshow).
Have you looked at your CD-ROM on several DVD players?
If it is using a slideshow display built into the DVD player (just a CD-ROM of pictures) then it could be subpar display code. There may be a firmware upgrade for the DVD player available from the manufacturer.
Have you looked at the pictures on the CD-ROM on your computer?
Your monitor probably has higher resolution than your tv. If you cannot see a difference in the quality of the images on the CD versus on your harddrive, then the jpegs on the CD should be fine. You can also compare file size.
I use Nero's CD burning software and there is a feature to put pictures to CD and make a VCD (video CD). I can set it to slideshow with a pause of my choosing or I can leave the pause "infinite" and step through all of the images with my remote. Picture quality does not seem diminished and I am viewing on a 33" television. The one problem that I have with this is that the software only permits 99 picture files (regardless of size) even though the CD itself is capable of storing much much more data. I don't know if this is a limitation in Nero, a limitation in the VCD design standard, or what.
I don't believe that my system supports a CD that just contains JPGs.
I haven't put jpegs from a digital camera to CD yet. My brother just got one around Christmas and he noticed that some of his pictures that looked sharp on a 20" tv screen looked blurier when he printed them out (these were photos with natural light, no flash). Here are some troubleshooting tips:
