Thanks for the various answers. I'll work through them. An essential requirement is to produce a DVD which will play on a non-computer DVD player and display on a standard TV. In some cases it's not obvious from the answer whether this ability is present and works. eg Irfanview can do this BUT requires a full version of Nero present to wor= k. Microsoft Moviemaker notionally does this but the resulting DVD will not work on many DVD players - even on an example claiming compatability with various DVD+ and - recordable products and with JPG playing capability.
