Hey guys Im kinda trying to turn into a video expert for a big client I have. Basically I do general pc tech stuff and websites and stuff right now, but a great job came my way. Heres the deal. I need the quickest way to make video and image slide shows.

Right now:
Im takeing the scanned images and throwing them into memories on tv to create the slideshows. And render that into mpegs, the only format mot will do.
Then I take the already made stock videos(wmv format) and the slideshow movies into proshow and alternate them. And render that.

Is there a faster better way to do this stuff? I know proshow and mot will do video and pics, but they dont do them well, so i just take all the movies then mix in proshow.

Anyways, whats the best codec to use? i was hoping to keep these things less then 75 megs. (They are about 6mins long.) And does it matter that im mixing mpeg and wmv in proshow?

Thanks alot, this site kicks arse!
