Looking for slideshow software which can reasonably rapidly produce
slideshows from JPGs & burn a DVD suitable for use with all / most
/typical DVD players to display on a domestic TV.

Want ir NOW [tm}.
I have two solutions that "sort f work".

Standards met / media / ...?
Yes and no.
JPG source. DVD + TV out. No hassles.
Would like it to "just work".
Don't want to need to refer to  CCCIT red/green/blue book. JPEG spec,
MPEG spec , CCI ...

How hard can it be : :-) :-) :-)


I have two partial solutions, each with problems.

1. Ashampoo Slideshow Studio HD2.
Slideshow produced is fine.
Actual production time once all set up is bizarre.
Maybe 1 to 2 minutes per photo on a trailing edge dual core system.
(Pentium D 3.2 GHz).
So a say 1000 photo display would take 1000+ minutes. Maybe > 1 day.
BUT DVD produced will play on most common DVD/TV combinations using DVD-R m=
edia.

2  Microsoft "Movie maker".
Slideshow produced is fine.
Actual production time once all set up  is short (5 -20 minutes
produce and burn with a very large number of JPGS).
Does not display on many DVD players. Not even on many PC with DVD
reader. Could well be codec issues. Seems to offer very limited
choices
