There's nothing complicated about making a DVD with this package: it automatically resizes your photos and you don't need to worry about the TV settings. You've got plenty of control of every step: it's easy to pick the photos you want in each slideshow from thumbnails and you can even rotate a photo if it's in portrait mode. You can set how long each image is on screen for and add background music, and DVD PictureShow illustrates on screen just how much disc space you'll need.
There are lots of templates for laying out the DVD menu (which can also have background music) and you can use your own image for the background. You can preview individual slideshows or the whole disc and save the disc image to burn later in the Disc Image Recorder software. This is the kind of tool that you'd usually find as a wizard inside another software package, such as a video-editing application. But if you've already got an image-editing program and you don't need to work with video clips, DVD PictureShow is the simplest software around for making DVDs and video CDs of your favorite images. --Mary Branscombe, Amazon.co.uk

Customer Reviews of DVD Picture Show-Imaging Suite
Garbage Everthing sounded great on the package but... <

>Timing the background music was ridiculous. I used the built in timing mechanism for the program (based on the length of the music and the duration of the slides) then previewed my work...it was all off. So I manually timed the music to the slides. That took forever because you can't jump ahead to different parts of the slide show, you have to go through the whole show each time. Plus, it was rarely the same twice. Sometimes the music ended on one picture, the next time it ended one or two pictures earlier or later, etc. etc. When I FINALLY got it worked out and just the way I wanted it (after hours and hours of trying), I triumphantly burned my show to a DVD. Guess what? When I played back the DVD, the music was completely off and I had to go back again two or three times to try and fix it and burn the DVD again. I went through several DVDs before it was finally right. <

>I looked online and through all the documentation. Nowhere was this problem addressed. I've got another slideshow to do, but I'm buying another program. My Ulead Picture show is going in the virtual trash.
Buyer Beware
Don't be fooled by the online description of this product. The description is for Version 2.0. Amazon sent me Version 1.0 a VASTLY inferior product. Just check out the limited free ware version on Uleads web site. I'm heading to the post office tomorrow to return my copy.
Sad, Pathetic and too Simple
DVD Picture Show has to be the simplest slide shows shoftware out on the market. You may be thinking to yourselves, oh rapture this is for me! But you are sadly mistaken. The program is so simple that you cannot create a splendid slide show. Here are the problems you will face.
1)There are no transistional effects between slides. This is terrible concidering you want to add effects, variation and emotional emphasis to your presentations.
2) The duration of the pictuers on each slide is uniformed to the whole side show project. That means you are not free to add legneth to certain pictuers that you may have some deep emotional attachment to. This fallibility creates another and much more intense problem. You will not be able to adjust your pictuers to fit the rythym, duration, pictoral style accorrding to the music and most importantly you cannot create a strong theme to your piece. Now you are saying to yourself, I don't care about that. But once you start working with this program you will have a strong desier to do way more with it.
3) The box says you get to add music. Don't let that decieve you. True you get to add music to your slide show, but you only get to use one song per slide show and it has to be an MP3 file. Luckily, I know how to convert CD music to MP3 music, but probably you don't, and if you do I know for a fact you will loathe this program. When you have your song, you are not even allowed to adjust the duration of the song as a separate entity from the pictuers. This means the number and length of the pictuers are the only factors that chooses the length of the music. You have to plan your slideshow so perciously and meticulously so that your music doesn't stop at a very unusal part of the song. The music stops when your pictures stop showing.
True this is a simplistic program, and I can see how people can love this. But those who long to add some creativity in their slideshows will find themselves void of any creative opportunities. I am sure all of those whom have given great reviews soon found out that this program could offer way more.
