If I were to do what you want, I would use a combination of ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org) and FFMPEG (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/) server side.
ImageMagick can take a set of images and create a slideshow. FFMPEG can then be used to add audio. A quick tutorial is available at http://www.linux.com/articles/60722 Of course, I use PHP - There is a PHP wrapper for ImageMagick (http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php) and one for FFMPEG (http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/). You would need to find wrappers for your own server side language. --- In [email protected], "comfederation" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I am able to create a slideshow which uses either external or > internally embeded images and music.
