Creating a composite DVD.

[Enquirer]

What program can be used to compose a DVD from JPEG+WMA+MP3?

I have successfully composed my own video on Microsoft WMM but the disc will only play on my PC and will not play on my TV DVD.

My DVD player recognises JPEG+MP3 and plays the disc. But if I include my Audio video in the compilation it does not function.

Any insight or advice would be welcome especially if someone has succesfully achived this.

It is only a DVD video if it is authored as such. I understand the situation you have. My pioneer will read all those formats, but it basically identifies the first file, then only sees other files of the same type, so mixed discs don't work. My LG, on the other hand, will play any file on the disc, including avi files.

If you want to put all these things on a disc and have them play, you will have to create a proper DVD, or get a different player.

There are a variety or programs you can use to create your DVD. You can create slideshows of your jpegs, and convert your mp3 and wma files to DVD compliant audio with either still or video backgrounds.

guns1inger, thanks for the prompt reply from Aussie Land to old UK. It is amazing that we can so quickly communicate when we consider our Forbearers!!
Beside that, when you state "There are a variety or programs you can use to create your DVD. You can create slideshows of your jpegs, and convert your mp3 and wma files to DVD compliant audio with either still or video backgrounds", what one would program would you recommend?
Thanks. JHD

Apps like ProShow Gold or Memories on TV comes to mind...
You colud also use wmm, export as DVD AVI, encode to DVD mpg and author as Video DVD.
