Just wondering how to save these files to CD so I can view on TV.
Do i have to save each file individually as a JPEG?

Also when transfered from camera to PC, (media card then formatted) can they be copied back again to Card to view on camera?

This is an answer to the first part of your question.

Batch conversion of RAW to JPEG
I used Photoshop Elements 6
Create two folders on your Desktop, one named Original Raw, the other Raw converted to JPEG.
In Photoshop Elements 6 Full Editor, go to File Menu, Process Multiple Files. In the dialog, for "Source" browse to and designate "Original Raw" folder on the Desktop and for "Destination" browse to and designate "Raw converted to JPEG" folder on the Desktop for "Destination". Select JPEG in the file conversion area of the dialog. Click OK.

As to the second part of your question re: transferring images back to the memory card for viewing in the camera.....

First, I do not understand...if you want to view the images in the camera after downloading them from a memory card to a PC, the images should still be on the memory card. In the transfer, the images are just copied to the computer UNLESS you are electing to delete them from the memory card after download. So, if you do not need to, don't delete.

I did a very quick Internet search and thought that you might want to check this link:

The RAW to JPEG batch conversion in Photoshop Elements 6 works fine. I tried it. I have not tried putting images back on a memory card.

I neglected to mention one detail of batch resizing that I took for granted but needs to be included....after you create your desktop folders, in the one that is named "Original Raw" make sure that you put COPIES of your raw images in that folder, not the ORIGINAL images. That is the better way to go.
