From: Brian (Groups) on 1 Aug 2010 07:32 I'm hoping such freeware exists. I have Nero but it seems limited to CD. I want to play back a simple slide show (1500 pics) on the TV via the DVD player. I know the rewritable media is sometimes a problem for such programs too. As icing on the cake, is there any way to be able to use the remote to manually advance such a slide show forwards or backwards? I'm afraid I'm quite ignorant of these issues on a DVD player. thanks Brian

What version of Windows & what version of Nero? IIRC Nero had DVD capability from Version 6 which was selected via a drop down box but whether it also had the slideshow making ability at that time, I don't know. I have Nero Versions 6 & 8 which I can install to find out how, if you so wish. - http://www.htmlcenter.com/blog/creating-a-photo-slideshow-with-nero-vision/ - http://www.nero.com/enu/show-tutorial.php?tut=MTI= In the meantime you might find something here : Built into Windows Vista - http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/dvd-photo-slideshow/ Picasa capability? - http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=19583 DVD Slideshow GUI - http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/ - http://www.softpedia.com/get/Authoring-tools/Digital-Album/DVD-slideshow-GUI.shtml EM Free DVD Photo Slideshow - http://www.etinysoft.com/free-dvd-photo-slideshow.html Photo Slideshow Maker - http://www.nesoft.org/photo_slideshow_maker_old.shtml Slideshow Pro - http://www.softaward.com/3670.html Regards wasbit

I'm glad you know your freeware so well :-) The older I get, the more apps I forget about! I've d/l a couple that look promising and will let you know how it goes. Nice to touch base again. cheers Brian

Photo Slideshow Maker helps you easily and quickly make slideshows using a variety of optional slide to slide transitional effects and music files. As a result you can get standalone slideshow file (executable exe-file) with music that you just click on to view. Then you can easily view, copy and share your slideshows with your friends. The following are just some of the many easy to use Photo Slideshow Maker features. You can: - use a variety of graphics files (jpeg, jpg, gif, bmp, png, pcx, psd, tif, tiff, tga), - use a variety of music files (mp3, wma, wav, wave, midi, mid, snd, au), - change slide settings for the whole SlideShow, slide groups or individual slides, - set slide to slide transitional effects both for fade-in and fade-out images, - preview your SlideShow starting with any slide in the show, - play background music from your play list during your SlideShow, - customize slide viewing settings, - add and edit slide captions, - save your SlideShows in a special format that allows you to open and edit them later, - create compact standalone slideshows that can viewed by just clicking on the slideshow name. Your slideshows will be easy to view and share within your family, and with your associates and friends. Photo SlideShow Maker v1.0 beta is FREEWARE. App still works on my XP Home SP3 system and if you use Universal Extractor, you can avoid the installation process. After using it for the first time, I could find no evidence of any new registry entries when viewing jvPower Tools registry entries list. Note: The output slideshow file has that generic windows icon and is placed in a separate folder inside the output location that you choose. Enjoy! -- Zo CLIMATE: What you do with a ladder.

You're confusing your TV with your computer. Remember, DVD players are designed to show MOVIES and not run slideshow programs. A "standard" DVD disk is just a collection of movie files with a menu system. Yes, you can sort-of create slideshows by defining a "menus" that are actually pictures and you move through the slideshow by moving through the fake menus. But you soon run into the DVD limitation of how many menus you can have connected to each other. Yes, a lot of DVD players will scan the disk for picture files and show them as their own slideshow. But it's completely up to the manufacturer on how they want to do that (and some do NOT do that at all). The order, timing, and control are different from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model. The only way to be really sure it will work is to make a move of your slideshow and run it through an DVD Video authoring program. Some have been mentioned. Microsoft installs "Windows DVD Maker" with current versions of Windows. |
