VCD still photo album menus or index: How to do it?

[Richard Kemmer]

Is there any way to make a VCD which has still images (a photo album of my jpeg's) with a preview menu or index? I'd like to be able to see (on my TV) thumbnails of the many files and be able to select any of them for a full screen view.

If there is software which can do this please tell me what it is.

Thanks.

Ulead DVD Picture show, VCDeasy, many others.

Hi,

I've tried Ulead and VCDEasy, but I can't figure out how to make a thumbnail-like menu. I can make a slide show which I can go back and forward in, but it doesn't allow me to pick and choose a picture from a preview (like in an album...)

Regards,

Dick

There is probably no automated program that will do this for you.

You will have to author the menus (i.e., manually with a text editor) and thumbnails (i.e., with a image editing program like Paint Shop Pro) yourself.

With Ulead DVD Picture show You can make a menu with chapters, You must do many chapters as pics You have (each chater with only one pic) so when you start the cd You will see all the photos in thumbnails and You can select the one You like to see. (Max 99 slideshows -> max 99 pics in a cd)
