Also, along this same line of "alternatives", ran across this in Macintouch
today:

*******

Jim Vonkas emailed us about a neat trick he discovered with Toast, CD-R and
a DVD player: 

I discovered something amazing in Toast version 5.1! I selected DVD from the
'Other' menu, dragged some jpegs from my digital camera into the Toast
window and burned an ordinary CD-RW disk with my ordinary CD-RW burner
(Iomega Predator). I put it into my home DVD player (a cheapo chinese
Centrex) and it produced a nicely timed slide show! It even had a menu with
image titles and there was an indication that it could handle folders as
separate slide shows on the one disk. Well, what a nice discovery! Or maybe
I just didn't read the manual - silly me. On the Mac the disk showed up with
UDF in its Icon. I did try the same thing with a Quicktime movie - but no,
that didn't work. But I wonder what other magic is possible with weird
combinations of technology ...

Just a fluke? Let's see if someone can duplicate this.
