DVD slideshow GUI

thanks for your answer, haha

If you want the slideshow to play automatically in a DVD player with music and transitions, the best free program to use is DVD Slideshow GUI, as Baldrick suggested. However, the slides will be limited to DVD resolution 720x480.

If you want a slide show with no music and no transitions, viewable only using a computer for playback, you can prepare the slideshow with Power Point. The advantage is the slides can be in higher resolution.

My brother-in-law sent me such a Power Point slide show, but for my parents to watch the slideshow using a DVD player and their HDTV, I had to extract the slides in .jpg format, name them something like Slide01.jpg, Slide02.jpg, etc. and copy them to a CD. The slides could be advanced manually with the DVD player remote. This will work for many DVD players, though possibly not all.

The Power Point file sent to me used a .ppt extension, and I have never heard of a DVD player that can read one. Newer versions of Power Point can also produce a multimedia slide show with a .pps extension, but I haven't heard of a DVD player that can play those either. As far as I know watching either type of presentation requires a computer and and appropriate software (Power Point/Power Point Viewer). Doing a Google search revealed there are Power Point to DVD video converters around, but I have no idea if any are worthwhile products.

Excuse me for not wanting to spend every waking moment trying to solve other people's problems for free.

If your dvd player supports Kodak cd then you can burn them as jpg to cd ... if you want them in a specific order they'll need to renamed ... your dvd player's user manual may include some information on this and the naming / folder structure requirements.

As far as dvd goes the resolution is restricted ... 720x576 (pal) ... 720x480 (nstc) ... DVD slideshow GUI will do the basics (organize, transitions, ect)

If you want to convert Power Point presentation to a DVD - DVD slideshow GUI can do that too:

MemoriesOnTV v4 works very well.
I've even used it for a few pro projects, when I didn't want to use Premiere.

I would not use Powerpoint. WMM is also a crappy choice here.

I think what he means that, he wanted to view those pics in DVD format.

DVD like Tranformers have pics viewers and you can use your remote to change the next picture.

Well, I like to do that but with an audio.
