When your brother-in-law says "Can you put these photos on a DVD for me quickly?".try this one.ĭon't be put off by the fact that there are three or four visible freeware programs involved, as the steps required in Gui for DVDAutor and Imageburn are not complex. Total time including burn time less than 15 minutes. I can import a directory of Jpegs, re-arrange order if desired, add some background music and individual photo subtitles if wanted and then export to GFD, creat DVD on HD and burn it with Imageburn. I have several (both freeware and buyerbeware) cd/dvd slideshow creation programs that I have used over the years and each has had issues for my intended use.ĭVD slideshow Gui used in conjuction with GUI for DVDauthor and Imageburn makes a nice package with reasonable flexibility and without a lot of work/thought on my part. What would be really cool (and I don't even know if this is possible or not) is the ability to manually "tap through" the slides in tempo with the background music, in real-time - or some other way of syncing up the slideshow to the beat of the music? Anyway fabulous software, and I give it 10 across the board.
It's already superb as it is, and I ran into no bugs whatsoever, but it would be nice to see it continue to develop. This is fun software! Thanks very much to tintin for giving us this gem!

Added some Ken Burns effects to a handful of the photos.
I had full control over slide duration and transition duration. I used the great random transition feature, and it was easy to go through and replace a few of the inappropriate transitions (eg get rid of "heart" yuck). I finally got the opportunity to test-drive DVDSlideshowGUI, with ~300 odd photos.
