Photo slide presention for DVD/CD for TV
I just got back from vacation and I would like to put the photos I took on a DVD or CD that wil play on a TV. I have hunted around on line for software but cannot really find anything. Part of the reason is I am not even sure what I am looking for (in terms of what terms to search for). I have Power Point but that seems to only work for a PC basesd presentaion.
I would like to beable to give the DVD or CD to someone who does not have a pc, have them put it in their DVD player and just be able to look at a slide show type presentaion. Any ideas? Thanks

Your options are VCD or DVD. VCD tends to have lower resolution, so DVD is your best bet.
Creating a "slide show" disc that will run on any DVD player will require software, some shareware/freeware or retail, to burn the files to disk. The better software provides options such as wipes/fades and the ability to add a soundtrack. Check the software that came with your DVD drive, or operating system, Microsoft Media or OS X iPhoto. Some DVD players have built it slideshow features. |

The easiest and the best for both starters and pros...
I did a DVD slideshow presentation of my dad’s Dust Off unit in Vietnam. I had never done a slideshow like this before in my life. When done, it was all choreographed to music and radio tapes from his unit. Over 300 images. I showed it at their reunion and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I guess I get a little credit for it, but I put most of the credit into to two programs I made it with.
Photodex - Pro Show Gold for the imaging. DanDans - Music Editing Master for the audio. I went through about 5 different free downloads of each type of program before I settled on these two. Easy to understand icons and tool bars. They are awesome. VERY easy to use. All drag and drop. Both work wonderfully together. Nothing really hi-tech about either. Just straight forward programs. Once you have it put together, just tell it how many copies you want, and start feeding the DVD writer. Both have a free download version for trial. Unless you’re a real computer geek, these are hands down the best programs IMHO for what you’re wanting to do.

David: I use two DVD/CD creator software pack ages. One is by "Roxio" which is good for DVD and CD, the other is Adobe Photoshop CS2 which is very user friendly. Sony makes a good one too which comes with the DVD burner. Hope this helps.
