I can't answer your question specifically but, here is an excerpt from the manual on making slideshows in fact I think its all the manual says on slideshows .

Creating a Slide Show
In much the same way that you assemble video assets in the Video Timeline, you can also
assemble still images — with fixed or user-controlled duration and with or without audio
and subtitles. DVD Movies consisting of still images are known as “slide shows.”
This DVD Movie combines a Slide Show (of still images) with a video
asset (the last asset in video track 1).
Still images can be imported in any of a number of common file formats, including:
• Bitmap (.bmp)
• TIFF (.tif)
• JPEG (.jpg)
• Photoshop (.psd)
• Other common formats
Note: In the case of the TIFF format, most common compression methods are
supported, with the exception of LZW compression.
As we’ll see just below, still images are added and manipulated in the same manner as
video assets — by importing image files into the Assets Bin, then dragging them into the
Video Timeline, then changing position, and so on.
One big difference between working with video assets and still images, however, is that a
still image has no inherent duration. Therefore, a default duration must be specified.
Chapter 11: Advanced Video Timeline Features 11-37
To specify the default duration for still images:
1. From the File pull-down menu, select Preferences. The Program Preferences
dialog opens.
2. In the Slide Show Defaults section of the General tab, you can set the default
length in seconds, for each slide by simply typing in the value.
Setting the default length for still images.
Whatever value you enter here will be assigned to each still image as it is added to the
Video Timeline. This type of still is called a “timed still.” After entry, durations may be
modified in the same way as for video (see “Changing the Display Time or Order of
Timed Stills,” just below).
To add a timed still images to a DVD Movie:
1. Import the still image file into the Assets Bin just as you would import a video
asset (see Chapter 5).
2. Click-drag the still image asset from the Assets Bin to video track 1 and release
the mouse.
Note: Still images can only be added to the primary video track (video track 1).
3. The selected asset appears as a timed still image in video track 1 with the default
duration.
4. If you wish, you can add additional still images to video track 1 by repeating
steps 1 through 3.
11-38 DVDMaestro/DVDConductor User’s Guide
A single still image in the Video Timeline.
You can also add a number of still images at once.
To add multiple timed still images simultaneously to a DVD Movie:
1. Import all the desired still image files into the Assets Bin.
2. Clicking at the top of the Assets Bin window on name; this will sort all the still
images by name, such as slide1, slide2, etc.
3. Select all still image assets by:
• “lassoing” them with the cursor;
– or –
• shift-clicking to select a range of assets;
– or –
• control-clicking to select a discontiguous group of assets.
4. Click-drag the still image assets from the Assets Bin and release them in video
track 1.
Note: The selected still assets will appear in video track 1 with the default
duration in the order in which they are sorted in the Assets Bin.
Multiple still images in the Video Timeline.
Chapter 11: Advanced Video Timeline Features 11-39
Changing the Display Time or Order of Timed Still Images
As we mentioned, after you import a still image into the Video Timeline, you can alter its
display time by any of the methods available for video assets, including trimming (using
Timeline view mode) or editing the End Time or Duration (using Clip List view mode).
As with multiple video assets, you can reorder any still image relative to another image
simply by click-holding on the image, then dragging it to its new location. This works
equally well whether you’re in Timeline or Clip List view mode. (In the latter mode, you
need to click once on the image, then click-hold, before reordering the image)
Since the picon that appears in Clip List view mode remains the same image for the
entire duration of the timed still image — and since that mode lets you specify exact time
values — you may find that Clip List view mode offers you the most accurate and
straightforward way to work with Slide Show images.
Previewing a Slide Show
Sequences of timed still images may be previewed just like any DVD Movie. Simply hit
the spacebar or click on the Play button at top of the window; the RealView Previewer
will launch and playback will begin.
Note: The Play Cursor can be moved to the beginning of any timed still, but
cannot be placed in the middle of the image’s play duration.
Note: The video displays in the RealView Window or on an external monitor as
defined in Decoder tab of the Program Preferences dialog (File – Preferences).
Adding Audio to a Slide Show
You can add audio (including multiple audio tracks) to any sequence of timed stills, just
as you can with any DVD Movie.
To add audio to a Slide Show:
1. Import the encoded audio asset (.ac3, .wav. or .aiff) into the Assets Bin.
2. Click-drag the audio asset from the Assets Bin into the first available audio track.
11-40 DVDMaestro/DVDConductor User’s Guide
A Slide Show with an accompanying audio track.
You can preview the slide show with audio just as you would any DVD Movie
(assuming your audio playback system is connected). Unlike a video asset, however, a
sequence of still images has no inherent timestamp associated with it. Therefore, if
timestamped audio is imported for a sequence of stills, the first sample of audio will be
automatically aligned to the beginning of the first still image.
Note: If the audio asset extends beyond the end of the last slide, the slide will be
“extended” until audio playback is complete. This is in contrast to audio that
extends beyond the end of video, in which case audio playback ends as soon as
the end of video is reached.
Adding Subtitles to a Slide Show
Subtitles may be incorporated with a sequence of stills just as for video. Subtitle display
may extend across boundaries of still images without problems. We’ll be covering
subtitles in depth in Chapter 12, but for now, here are the procedures. . .
Chapter 11: Advanced Video Timeline Features 11-41
The Subtitle Editor.
To add an individual subtitle to a Slide Show:
1. Right-click in the first available subtitle track at the location where you would
like the subtitle to appear.
2. When the pop-up context menu appears, select Add Individual Subtitle.
3. The Subtitle Editor dialog will appear where you can enter text or specify an
image file and set the display and text rendering settings as desired.
4. Click OK. The Subtitle Editor will close and the new subtitle will appear in place
in the subtitle track where it can be moved, extended, or edited as in any DVD
Movie.

Combining Video Assets with a Slide Show
Video assets can be mixed with timed stills freely, providing a method to create complex
and interesting DVD Movies. For instance, among other approaches, you can mix short
video sequences between groups of still images to act as “transitions” between the stills.
A video asset, in position before a string of still images.
To combine a video asset with a sequence of still images:
1. If necessary, import the encoded video asset into the Assets Bin.
2. Click-drag the video asset into the Video Timeline and release it. If you want the
video asset to play in the same stream as the Slide Show, drop it in video track 1.
If you want the video asset to serve as an alternate video angle, drop it another
video track.
Chapter 11: Advanced Video Timeline Features 11-43
If needed, you can trim, reorder, and otherwise manipulate the video asset as usual.
During playback, transitions between still images and video assets will be perfectly
seamless.
User-Advanced Still Images
So far we have worked with still images that advance automatically after a fixed
duration; these are known as timed still images. Alternately, you can create useradvanced
still images, which do not have a set duration, and remain onscreen until the
viewer chooses to advance them pressing the Play button on the DVD player remote
control.
Setting the default for user-advanced still images.
User-advanced stills are created by defining the Slide Show default in the Preferences
dialog as Still : Length 1 VOBU, rather than defining a slide length in seconds.
Note: With this setting, the actual physical duration of the still image data on
the disc is equal to one Video Object Unit, or VOBU. Hence, the name “VOBU
Still,” which some people use to refer to a user-advanced still.
To add user-advanced stills into the Video Timeline
1. Set the Slide Show Default setting in the General section of the Program
Preferences dialog to Still: Length 1 VOBU.
2. Click-drag the desired still image asset from the Assets Bin and release it in video
track 1.
Note: User-advanced stills may be incorporated in a DVD Movie with video
assets and/or timed stills — but they cannot be accompanied by audio.
11-44 DVDMaestro/DVDConductor User’s Guide
User-advanced still images in place. Notice that each occupies
approximately 1/2-second (15 frames) in the Video Timeline.
In Timeline view mode, user-advanced stills will be displayed with a duration of
approximately 1/2-second (15 frames), equal to the length of one DVD Video Object
Unit. When played on the DVD player, they will display indefinitely, until the viewer
clicks the Play button on the remote control, at which time the display will advance to the
next still image (or video asset) in sequence.
Previewing User-Advanced Stills
When you use the RealView Previewer, user-advanced stills display for their VOBU
length; that is, about 1/2-second.
When you use the Navigation Simulator, however, user-advanced stills will be held (just
as they will when your title is ultimately played back on a DVD player), and can be
advanced by pressing the Next button.

thanks,

it's is perfect, but not resolve my problem.

thanks all.
