You could have two different slide shows on the DVD. The short one prominently displayed, and the long extended version in a submenu or similar. There's also a way to make photos on the video DVD accessible individually when mounted on a computer, so selected photos could be copied off, if desired.<div>

</div>Yeah, I agree on the number, I'm down to 130 and still cutting. It's<br>
definitely going easily in iPhoto, but I need to put some section<br>
divider/title slides in, and don't see how to do that in iPhoto. Do I have<br>
to create these in some other program--like putting text over clip art or<br>
something--and then convert them to .jpgs and import them to be used as the<br>
title slides? Or is this something I can/should do after I import to iDVD?<br>
<br>
By the way, my plan to preview it to them is to put the first decent version<br>
up on YouTube for them to take a quick look at, before I pull it down.<br>
