program for creating photo slideshow burn to (S)VCD

[leinan]

hello am kinda confuse of what to use or buy in creating a photo slideshow with audio and transitions and burn to (S)VCD. It's really hard for me by just browsing here every comment, replies of many programs to use.

Can anyone here knows a better program that can do all without hassles and anything.

And also I'm just wondring why some queries here about the "TV SAFE REGION" says that when played in PC it is perfectly fit but when played in VCD/DVD players viewed in TV's aren't?

any replies would be appreciated...

Many thanks in advance.

1) Take a look under tools. There, people rate applications they've used. If you want a suggestion, my choice is ProShow Gold.
2) The TV safe region is an area which will be displayed on "all" TV sets. Different makes/models/individuals of TV cut the edges off the visible picture, so you should keep important stuff out of the borders. See "overscan". Computer monitors don't behave like this - they always show the whole image.

Thanks mat Ii look into that program. about overscan is there a way to prevent it? I mean I dont want my pictures to be crop.

about overscan is there a way to prevent it?

You can do that by surrounding the image/video with black bars - that way, the black bars gets out of the picture, not the picture itself. But s each TV has its own idea of how much to overscan, this can be some trial and error until you get it 100% right.

You're welcome! I think you'll find that it's not that hard to use, in relation to the wealth of features it has.
