My mate did that with my brother's wedding video, I can find out what he used to do it, but h's not around till after Christmas, so could be a while. I don't think he used any extra software (knowing him as well as I do)...

What it does is allow you to string a load of jpg's together into an mpg, specifying how long each is to stay on-screen and what transition effects you want between photos. You can also add a soundtrack. I can then burn the mpg onto a CD (I don't have a DVD writer) in SVCD format using Nero and watch the resultant CD on a DVD player. Result: family can sit around TV and watch snaps rather than gathering round PC. Now I find this neat, and don't mind at all paying the $19 the guy's asking for the real version, but before I do I wondered if anyone uses anything similar and recommends an alternative. The oftware has a few rough edges and one of you may know something better. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- This email has been verified as Virus free Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net
