Which Program should I use?

It all started when a friend gave me 180 photos of her son from birth to 18 and asked me to to a presentation for his birthday.
I used Flash 5 to design a colourful, animated 7 min presentation streaming to 128kbps MP3 sound. My stage dimentions were 800x600 and it was to run Full Screen. It ran a little choppy on my 350Mhz with 160Mb RAM but nice and smooth on a faster computer. But there was a problem. On some other computers, with a lower ratio of RAM-Mhz it sometimes broke down before the end, rewound and stopped at the first frame. I upgraded to Flash MX, re-saved the file and tried it again on other machines. Same thing. To solve the problem immediately, my friend got more RAM and it played great on the night. With such success in fact that I have been bombarded with requests for more birthday presentations. Sounds like a great career since I had so much fun with the first one.
I want to suggest minimum system requirements of 500Mhz and 128Mb RAM to run the "movie" But am fearful that I'll run into the same problem, as with experience I'm make the animation and stuff more complex.
I would also like to transfer the "movie" to Video Cassette for customers that don't have a computer.
Should I try a different program? After Effects? Director? Any other suggestions?
Bare in mind - I want to produce video quality suitable to be displayed on large screen projector and don't want to lose any sound quality.
