Best DVD slideshow video making software?

[George]

Hi all,

I want to make a slideshow, with audio and some video clips inserted. I'd like to be able to burn the final product to a DVD too.

What software would you recommend? Something nice and simple to use, I don't mind paying for a copy either

Thanks

Platform?

Ah, no idea! Sorry!

The standard Windows movie maker isn't as bad as people think!

I use (and have for a couple of years) DVD Photo Slideshow Professional.

You can download the whole programme and "trail it" first on a small scale. Then if your happy with their product, you pay, they send you a code to enter and it's unlimited usage from then on.

As I say I use it and have for some years for doing DVD slideshows which are set to music, with credits at the end etc etc. Editing is basic but workable with transition between images good and everything is customisable (is that a real word?).

Thanks mate, but I want to add video to it aswell but that doesn't allow it :(.

Movie maker compresses the photos too much

Ahh right, just re read your OP and no it doesn't do that.
