you could make a DVD, where each chapter is a picture. then you could run through the pics with the DVD remote. or maybe the chapters could be sequences of cells, each having one picture, or whatever. Does that sound about right? I'm not sure if there is a program for *nix to do that in a simple manner, but it is possible with a combination of ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/ with these tools, resize your pictures to DVD size mjpegtools http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/ with these tools, create mpeg2 streams from the pictures transcode http://inferno.slug.org/cgi-bin/transcode you can pobably do the above steps in one shot with this, but unless you know a bit about DVD authoring, it's probably easier to use the above tools ... dvdauthor with this, create the DVD filesystem dvd+rw-tools with this, burn the files to DVD needless to say, this is not a "simple" task ... unless someone knows of a program to make this easier. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
