Adding music track to cd-r photos?

    You will need to create a movie of the photos to do this. Roxio easycd has a movie creator that can do this and I am sure there is a cheaper option.
    Windows is the path to the darkside...Windows leads to Blue Screen. Blue Screen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering...I sense much Windows in you.
  • Well, Kevin, if you have an XP machine, you can use Windows Movie Maker to do this...if you're feeling particularly creative you can even add flashy transitions between each of the pictures too - that'll impress!

    Only issue is, you can only save the output as WMV. But, if you download TMPGEnc you will be able to convert it to MPG then use your CD burning program to burn it as a VCD.

    I know this sounds complicated, but DVD players that can show photos don't support the simple addition of a soundtrack - you effectively have to make a movie of it, then burn it as VCD...which most DVD players should support.

    Feel free to PM if needs be!
