DVD picture burning resolution/etc. help?

When scanning photos I have the option to change resolution/target size/compression levels and so on. I’d just like some advice on what qualities to choose.

I am making discs of old family pics for keepsakes.I’d like a general reference on photo scan options that way the pics look decent. I do understand the basics:

Dpi-High number, high quality.

Compression-high number, low quality

Higher quality, bigger file size.

So if you could help me w/ a guideline I would appreciate it, thanks.

I’m using Epson workforce 500 scanner and Adobe Photoshop incase you have any suggestions or tips. Thnx

Update:

Here are some sites that helped me w/ this question. Hope they help you as well !
