Start by reading the HOW TO links to the left.

I typically just point but I'll not this sleepy morning.

If you want stills from your miniDV footage in XP use this guide:

Once you have pictures and if you have $29.95 I highly suggest Ulead DVD PictureSHow - it makes either photo CDs or DVDs and has a fair but not terrific feature set. Thing is it offers menus and has a high degree of ease. Add some music and the family loves them.

i already know about the how-to's

i'm just wondering about ur guys experiences of which one is the best way to do it.

Thx Kitty for your help

Now i have one more question..

it says that i can put about 1900+ pictures on a cd...but if I end up putting only 1000... is it possible to add more to the cd later? if so .. how?

thanks

k2: No you can't add more to the same photo vcd cd-r/w. You have to make a new one.

Hi K2,I think I have an idea to add more new pictures to the cd later.If you don´t know this yet give a try,if you already know just forget it I have try it yet myself but I will when I get `Ulead PictureSlide´ pragram later.Ok here it goes...

Burn your picture(let´s said 1000) to a CD-RW and later if you want to add more new one?? You can download your 1000 pictures to your hard disk and add your new one there too(let´s said 200 new one).Then you format the CD-RW disk...after that you burn again the 1000 old pictures and the 200 new one to the same CD-RW you just format it..Well,now you got all new and the old one together. mm...I hope this will works..
Anyway no harm to try!you just need a little bit more time.
