I am somewhat surprised that you didn't just use one of the video editing packages (Ulead, Adobe) to create a final mpg that can be played safely without taxing the heck out of your software. You have extremely fine control with the apps to create whatever you want. I do DVD slideshows all the time out of still pictures and transitions and music that are timed exactly frame by frame to the music as I desire. The final result is either a burned DVD or mpg that can be played on almost any kind of system.
Care to eloborate why this particular software was chosen? -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, June 26, 2006, 12:45:03 PM, you wrote: TØ> I liked it a lot Jostein. The switch to verticals works very well.
