Answer 1

You only need to select "My Pictures" and select all from the folder you want to burn to CD....Then Copy to CD.......
BUT - if any ONE of the pictures are too large (in memory size) you will find that they do not show on the TV. Answer is to "Compress" each slide until it is small enough (in memory size). You can do this individually or all at once via Microsoft Picture Manager if you have MS-Office.

Additional - If it doesn't allow you to show one picture after another (manually or timed) it is probably because the files are too large. If they are NOT then the show will go on.....

You only need to worry about the size if the "Slideshow" freezes up. Hope this helps - I learnt a lot trying to get hundreds of holiday pix onto a cd to show on TV via my DVD.

Hi,

There's a little secret that most people don't know about. Almost all of the DVD players sold in the past few years have a feature that automatically plays a CD or DVD full of pictures (JPG) as a slide show.

So all you have to do is to save the presentation as pictures, then copy that folder to a CD. Pop the CD into your DVD player and it plays the slide show.

To save your PowerPoint as a series of Pictures just use File > Save As and change the format to JPEG.

Use a program called Roxio easy DVD creator,
or NERO Photoshow.
You might even be able to do it with windows movie maker which is free with xp
