Slideshow

[FrankC]

I have some 50 stills from a friends wedding and I'd like to put them on a disc either DVD or CD which they can put in a standalone DVD player and watch a sldie show of the images. Does anyone know of some simple software to achieve this.

Many thanks

I know there's slide show software out there (google on), but I have put numerous stills in DVDs by using the freeware ImageToAvi to convert the pic...TMPGenc to convert the AVI to MPEG2...and a story board editor to feed the still mpegs in individually and burn a dvd.

There's also a program you can get called DVD-Lab.
This program is easy to use and allow you to create and author your own DVD from scratch. You can create your own menus, create slide shows with music, add stills or multiple video formats, AVI, Mpeg, even VOB's from a movie. Cool for making your own DVD of recorded tv episodes. Once created save the disc image and burn with nero.

Many thanks for the reponse. I didn't realize that DVDLab coulkd be used for slide shows, I use that for making 'normal' DVD's. It looks like the solution was staring me in the face.

Thanks again

Try muxman. Load the 50 BMPs in, set a time for each still to show (which can vary for each still), load in an audio track if you like (for you Frank, I know something like Advance Australia Fair will go down well) and press start.

Out pops a perfectly compliant DVD.

I am a wedding photographer and I have used Ulead dvd picture show. You can add music to the slid shows too for weddings its perfect you can add the bride and grooms favorit songs to the right photos. I think they offer a free trial on the program its not a hard one to learn either very user friendly.

The couples that I did them for loved them.

I ended up using DVDLab Pro, it allows some manipulation and the addition of sound tracks. The finished product ended up a treat and with the soundtrack of Nat King Cole singing " When I Fall in Love" there's wasn't a dry eye in the house.

I was quite 'chuffed' with the results.

Another good slideshow program is Nero Vision Express. You can add music of varying lengths, how long each picture displays, special effects transitions, adding in video clips in between,......Anyone that has Nero on their systems, already has this good tool.
