All dvd-slideshow and co. do is to resize images (that's a one liner with imagemagick's convert tool) and then join them to compose a video file, muxing it with the chosen audio tracks. You can easily do that with ffmpeg, mencoder or some similar tool of your choice if the menu-driven program doesn't let you bypass the dvd size limit.
A video file is the most universal format you can get, unless you want to relly on the tv native player capabilities to do a slideshow, which would also be just fine since any tv that has an usb port can for sure do slideshows as well. 2012/12/19 Joseph <[email protected]> > Is it possible to create slide show (pictures) on USB stick and play on a > TV? > > In the past I've used "dvd-slideshow" but that is a bit of work.
