DVD Slideshow help |
|
|
Hi.
I have quite a few photos. Ok, a lot. I wish to create a slideshow on a DVD of
them which will play as a DVD (not a VCD). Now I have two options, I think. The
first is to create a movie file which is burned onto a DVD in the usual way.
This is simple to do and I can achieve this easily.
The second is one I'd prefer. I want to somehow get the photos onto the disc as
files and use a bit of DVD software-type thing to show the photos sequentially
using the left and right buttons on the remote control. I know most DVD players
can show photo files by dropping JPEGs onto a data disc and simply popping that
in, but I want to use a 'program' to do this for all players.
It's the type of thing you see when you go into a photo gallery or production
photos on your extras disc on a popular movie DVD, so I know it is possible.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I use Sonic MyDVD for that. It's not the best DVD authoring program there
is, but I love the way it does slideshows.

I had a play at this myself a few weeks ago and failed miserably - I
think, in essence, you set up each image you want to view as a
seperate menu - and the forward / back buttons take you to the next
(or previous) menu.

You should specify what operating system you are going to be using. As
you can see most people assume you are running M$. The capability also
exists for the Mac and Linux/BSD. In fact there was a link posted here a
couple of months back by someone who created a slideshow DVD under Linux.
You should be able to find the information under Google Groups.
FYI, a slideshow DVD has a different specification than a video or data
DVD. Both methods you describe should work. A VOB file with only one
frame... Interesting.
