Any tips on making photo slideshows that can be burned onto DVDs? Good software, etc.?

Question

I'm making a photo DVD slideshow for my sister-in-law's wedding and I've made a cool one before for my last sister-in-law's wedding, but I made it with Windows Movie Maker (I know, low level) and could never get it to burn on to a DVD that would play in a DVD player.

Answer 1

NeroVision

Answer 2

gee, from your description, it doesn't sound like you want to do a (still) photo slideshow, but rather a video, moving pictures (???) burned to a dvd???

for photographic slideshows made into gift cds and i think also dvds, take a peek at yahoo 360 as well as google's free picassa2 photo editing software. the only thing that i don't know about each of them is whether you can do a DVD that would be viewable on a tv set from the dvd player.

i was investigating how to transfer vhs movie tapes onto dvd disks, and i came up with a company that makes hardware devices that both do what you say you want to do as well as what i want to do and more. each product is different, so read the specs carefully. one of them is no longer manufactured by this company, but sometimes you can find a used model.

the hardware, which also comes with software to do these sorts of projects, is made by a company called adaptec. go to www.adaptec.com and see if they have what it is you need.

Answer 3

i'm guessing you purely burned the avi (or in spite of sort) report to the DVD? What you ought to do is convert and author employing a software like DVD Flick or DVD Styler then burn with a software like gburner or nero. DVD Flick surely comes with imgburn to do the burning. you should use dvd burning application even with the indisputable fact that because of the fact DVDs contain lead-in and lead-out archives that ought to exist for the DVD to be playable.

Answer 4

If you can get your hands on a Mac (friends?) iLife apps will do just that.
