[MacDV] Re: Creating a Photo CD

[Gerhard Kuhn]

If you want to just create a simple slide show with your pictures you 
can use iDVD to do this.  You can easily add music to it and it will 
even time the length of each slide so that it will fit the length of 
the song.  You also have the option to add the original jpegs to the 
DVD so that the recipient could print some of their favorite pictures.  
Toast 6 comes packaged with a software program called motion pictures 1 
and it allows more control over the transitions between stills and has 
a Ken Burn type effect that can be applied to the pictures.  This 
program will allow for a variety of output formats.  iPhoto can also be 
used to export a QT movie of selected pictures.

Hope that some of these ideas are helpful
