Hi First post. I've been following this thread for some time trying to figure out which program really works in creating a dvd video. Well, Nero express worked the first time I tried it ! Nothing elaborate, about 50 slides.I added my photos in PTE and before previewing or anything else I hit the video button and saved the file. Next, I opened up Nero "make your own dvd-movie" and directed it to my saved avi slideshow file and followed the "next" instuctions. Took about a 1/2 hour for it to render (50 slides), but it worked great. I do have some questions: 1. What size / resolution should my jpgs be to best fit a large wide screen tv? 2. Some of the pictures were a little stretched or slightly blurry, can I improve on this?
