windy Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Anyone know what is the favouroute/best/recommended software for creating picture CD's? I'd like to create CD from pictures stored in my PC's hard drive to free up some space. I've heard that software is available to also record music to a picture CD along with the pictures? My PC has windows 98. Thanks in advance Windy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Adobe do some software called "Photoshop Album", the starter edition can be downloaded foc from their web site. (might be time limited, but at least you can try, & see if it does what you need! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Green Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I use Nero to burn CD's as it is very easy to use (well, for an old fart like me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Another vote for Nero. Nero seems to come bundled with most CD burners these days, so if you need to buy a burner, you'll be getting the software........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilwillis Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Easy CD is another bundle that includes slide show software too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 I can burn CD's already, but putting it into a slideshow format with music for viewing in the telly via its DVD player cannot be done. I don't think I have this software & if its already installed to my PC I'm having great difficulty finding this function for slides & music combined. Still in need of some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I hate to say it, but 'try a search'. Entering 'cd slide show software free' into google brings up a number of matches. Such as this one. There's a free 60 day trial version, the full software costs $19.95. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJWilliams Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Windy The easiest software I have used for this is 'Picture To TV' . From computer to slide show on TV within 20mins!!. It allows you create different photo albums and will also synchronise the slide show to the length of a music track. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Windy, I use a bit of software called FlyVCD and Nero to do this. You can download demo's of both to try it (if you've got broadband). FlyVCD allows a picture slideshow with all the transitions you like (fade, slide, dissolve etc), optionally linked to an MP3 soundtrack. Nero then lets you create a SuperVCD, VCD or DVD (if you've got a DVD burner) of the show. Works fine on my cheapo Samsung DVD player but not on my expensive Sony! However, with my low spec PC it takes about 6hours to make a 10 minute film! I'll check out TJWilliam's suggestion, might be quicker than FlyVCD.
