I burned a picture slideshow w/audio to a VCD ( my player does not support SVCD) and learned just what a waste of time that was. Resulting images were of very poor quality. While poking around dvdrhelp web site I noticed a link to the TMPGEnc program which allowed me to rewrite the header file of SVCD output to look like VCD. The original slideshow contained very high-resolution jpgs and the audio files were mp3. After converting the SVCD file with TMPGEnc and burning it to a CD in VCD format the image quality really improved, but the audio was waxed ( all out sink). I repeated the process replacing the mp3 files with wav files and still had the same issues with audio playback. Not sure what to do next, any ideas ?

Also, if someone knows of better tools to generate high-resolution slideshows w/ audio, that can intern be burn on a CD for play back in a DVD player, I would really appreciate the info. It seems like a such waste of space / processor power to write a still images at 29.97 fps to play back in DVD. FYI, I really desire the DVD playback capability to share slideshow with friends.

Thanks,
