[MacDV] Creating DVD slideshow

[Gordon Alley]

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.
