Nero -Ulead-Microswoft best way to get 200+ JPEGS on TV ???

[VideoMann]

Looking for a solution to archive family pictures:

I would like to see more than 200-500 JPEGs on TV (slideshow) with a CD-R or a DVD. I've tried Ulead and Nero. The quality of pictures produced by Ulead is not that good and it has no individual thumbnails. Nero seems perfect but you can only create 99-120 pictures using only 1/10 of the capacity of a CD. These solutions translate JPEGS-->MPEG2/VOB

DVD players that play actual JPEGS are just coming out and I'm not ready to buy a new DVD player,so I'm looking for a software solution like Nero that will allow me to see fill a CD-R with picts.

can anybody give me some tips or tell me how to burn more than 99-120pics on Nero ?

thanks

Ulead is the way to go - it encodes the pictures to MPEG stills at DVD res on a CD-R. No, it is very difficult if not impossible to get a thumbnail of every pic but that isn't how you organize - you can have 99 slideshows of 99 pics - usually this is sufficient except for a production house. Each slideshow can have a thumbnail.

Most other solutions on CD-R encode to VCD MPEG1 at low res.
