Slideshow limited to 100 pictures

oldwiring

Nokia 6 limits the pictures too 100 and I want to create a show for stand alone DVD players of my S African holiday, which has far more then the limit. Is there any way to create a show, even if made in more than one part, to show seamlessly both parts without a break?

Alternatively can some one direct me to a good, preferably free , application that can do the job without limitations?

For a PC? Try Microsoft Photo Story.

You can use Windows Movie Maker, or even easier Windows DVD Maker, if you have it. It comes with Vista and Windows 7.

If you're using a Mac I'm sure iPhoto or iMovie will do the trick.

Microsoft Photo story will do up to 300 images.

I tried this and got a rubbish result. All the images were very low rez after converting to s slide show, very disappointed with this software.

Had a small experiment with that and it seemed to disregard the file numbers I'd allocated to the original pics.
For imstance placing 103 (20) before 101 (1).

oldwiring what Operating System do you have? Are you on XP, Vista or Windows 7?

If you're on Vista or Windows 7 this is the easiest way to do it.

If you're on Xp use movie maker. Although you will then have to burn the file created to disc.

Some time ago I did play with WWM but had difficulty deciding which format to save to to have the result play on a stand a lone player and failed. What is best file format?

I'm on XP SP3

It depends what your DVD player will play!

Have a look at the manual and it should say if it can play MPEG for exapmple then choose the appropriate format.

Alternatively just create an MPG file and then use DVD Flick to create a 'normal' DVD that should be usable on any DVD Player.

Thanks Guys!

BTW Some searches say that picture quality can be low with WMM. How well founded are such observations, given that any 8 or so meg picture will be contained within far fewer pixels of a TV screen?

I use Roxio Easy Media Creator for my holiday snaps. Edit snaps in PS Elements then transfer to Roxio. Roxio also has some 'nice' features to add 'pzzazz' to the show.
