An artist neighbour has been asked to submit some work to a gallery for
approval - she has a film and a folder of pictures - she would like the
film to play automatically on insertion of the disk and for the folder of
pictures to be available through a menu of some sort - it would be great if
the pictures could play in a 'slideshow' somehow. Preferably, the DVD
should be palyable in a stand alone machine as well as a PC I suppose, hust
in case.

Her movie is currently in a high quality *.mov format (Quicktime - 950mb -
6.5 minutes), but I am happy to transcode it if required.

What software is there that might do this job ?

Thanks for any input.

Sword, thanks for the reply. In your 3 steps, you don't mention Jpg's - I
need to burn pictures as well as the autoplaying film - is there a way to
do that ?

Thanks

GoogleGroups spammers seldom reply, this guy might,
but I wouldn't look on that as a good thing.

MemoriesOnTV will allow you to create a video slideshow using .mov files
directly, no conversion required and you can add .jpg's as well. I've never
seen a slideshow program that has the power of the product. There is a
learning curve involved but it works great. It's available here:

MemoriesOnTV is indeed an excellent program and I used it as my 'favorite'
for several years.

There are a number of other software solutions which offer extremely
versatile photo slide show and movie DVDs (as well as other playable formats
in high definition and PC formats) which should also be considered.

In particular, ProShow Gold from Photodex (
http://www.photodex.com/products/pro...ld/awards.html ) has won a number
of highest ratings / awards. Corel DVD Movie Factory is another fine
product:

and you may also want to consider the free program from Microsoft called
Windows Movie Maker.

The Photodex and Corel programs have free trial versions which are totally
functional if you want to try them out before purchase.
