Basics:

Main difference is capacity - a DVD will hold about 6 CD's worth of stuff, which is why DVD's are used for Movies.

If you are just looking to store pictures, then CDs will be fine, and you will get lots onto one.

To record once and keep, then you need cd-r
To record and then later re-record over the top, you need cd-rw

Hope that helps
