252622 2004-07-15 16:51:00 Hi there all.
I have a large batch of photos of a mates wedding and was wondering if there was a way to put them on a CD that would automaticaly play on a TV associated DVD player so that someone without a PC could view them or do I need to upgrade to a DVD player.

most dvd players will read Jpegs so you can write the photos to a cd & play this as a slideshow on a dvd player through your TV.

252624 2004-07-16 00:46:00 What I do is use Windows Moviemaker (built into XP - Start/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment), and compose a slideshow in that, using transitions between the pics, titles, and music. Music makes it a lot easier to view a whole lot of pictures - think of the old fashion "holiday slides" you had to sit through .... but with a rocking beat :)

First, upgrade Windows Moviemaker to Version 2 for free
here (www.microsoft.com)

It is better than the original.

Once done, save to your hard drive. I then use Nero to create a VCD of the movie, and the pics on the TV thru the DVD player are very clear.

Something I thought about too.
A good point I would have thought.

There is no way I can help here.

For those of us on the old dialup its a bit quicker than the D/Load of 13MB of program.
