Ulead DVD Workshop help reqd

[tecstar]

I have 135 still images i want to present in a gallery as thumbnails, with the option to select any thumbnail and display the still picture full size, then return to the gallery.
What works is to enter each image as a "title" then create a thumbnail menu with frames and drag each title into the frames. Unfortunately, I am limited to 99 titles so can't do all 135 pictures. Is there another way of doing what i want?

Try dragging the pictures onto the timeline of your favorite video editor.
Then output the pictures as video.

I can already drag my stills as a "sequence" and even assign them chapters. But I cant seem to do as described.
How would what you have described help me to do what i want?

You are limited to 99 titles in a titleset, and 99 titles (or more) on a disk. Does DVD Workshop allow for more than one titleset ? (A lot of packages do not, so it would not be unusual if it didn't).

So the 99 figure is a de-facto DVD standard?
It does allow 99 titles, and 99 chapter points within a title.
With fewer images, it wouldn't be a problem, as I am only using 2 other titles - the actual movie itself and the full slideshow.
I think my only way round this is to group 4 or 5 images together to create a number of smaller slideshows, which isn't exactly what i want, but there you go.
Unless anyone has other suggestions?

You know there are a lot of "Slide SHow " makers out there that will problably do that. Now whether they can be out putted to DVD which is what I think you want. I don't know. Loading them into a continous timeline will not work. I'm not 100% but Adobe ENcore or a few of the more advanded authoring programs may be able to achieve that. You would have to figure out whether you can asign and end action to each of the photos so that after they play for 10 seconds or so, it goes back to the main menu. You are not going to be able to simply look at a given image what an undeterminied period of time due to the fact that it gets encoded as regular MPG 2 video unlike a regular slided show such as in Ulead CD & DVD PictureShow or other simmilar prog. These are disigned for only photo slide shows and may be able to do what you need.

Probably not, as Im also putting video on the disc as well.
The problem with assigning any action to a photo is that it may affect the "play all" function as well, but I will have a go at that.

It is not a de facto standard, it is part of the DVD specification. Multiple titlesets is the only way around it. You could try using the current beta of DVD Lab Pro, which will allow you to do all of this. And at the moment, it is free.

That's the only other solution I can think of.
