in Techie Stuff
I am wondering if any of you knowledgable people could possibly help me.
I want to try and make a disc this week that shows photos on a DVD player with a song playing in the background.
I have the photos stored and the song, but I can't get them to work together.
On one PC I have Nero software and a CD Rewriter, and on another PC I have Sonic 'Record Now' and a DVD Rewriter.
Does anybody know how I can do this? Do I have the wrong software, and if so, are there any free trial's of software that I could use.
Thanks.

You need to buy a plug-in to burn DVDs with PhotoStory3.0

I've made the story book and it is perfect but it won't burn onto a disc
Is there anyway of getting around the plug in
(Sorry, I'm not very techie so I hope you understand what I mean)

Photo story 2 allowed you to create a VCD for free (DVD's always required the £10 plug-in) to use in DVD players, but that appears to have been dropped annoyingly in this version.
There are three ways to create a Video CD (VCD) that contains your photo stories:
You can obtain Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition and view the Photo Story 3-authored WMV file in Photo Story 2 by going to Play your story or create a video CD of your story and then create a VCD.using the Photo Story 2 Video CD-burning feature.
•
You can obtain Microsoft Digital Image Suite 10 or above and view the Photo Story 3-authored WMV file in the Photo Story that comes with the Digital Image Library and save and burn to VCD.
•
You can obtain VCD-authoring products that work with Photo Story files, such as MyDVD by Sonic Solutions or InstantCD\DVD by Pinnacle Systems. You can use these software to convert the Windows Media video (WMV) files into files that can be copied to a DVD and played in a DVD player.
Note: VCD and DVD-authoring software is not included with Photo Story 3.
