What are some good programs to create photoalbums on cd....and
have them play {as slideshows etc...} on a dvdplayer, settop?

I tried using Ulead Pictureshow but it only allows 3 albums and up to 30 images.


any recommendations are welcomed.

I can recommend ProShow Gold, from http:///www.photodex.com.
Easy to use and good result.

well, i've doing some testing of various apps to do picture-to-xxxx
vcd, albums, web, dvd, etc....

after all the notes i took down, i shoulda written a guide or somepin,,
anyway, in case anyone's interested here's some names of the better ones..

Freeware:
[there's a bug in recognizing pic names that don't start with an alphanumeric character i.e. won't pick up " __001file.jpg" it wants
" H__001file.jpg" ]. watermarked (editable html though)
JAlbum {java}, outputs only to web gallery/page. 7.5/10

Trial/Demos

Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 8/10
Will do vcd & web pages. Easy to use, simple layout, not cluttered
www.jasc.com

Adobe Photoshop Album 7.5/10
excellent web gallery output.
not too much control or folder managerment, though u can tag and group accordingly. Free storage on adobe.shutterfly.com {adware though}

AcdSEE PowerPack 6/10
I use acdSEE's picture viewer almost exclusively. This version rockz
and lets the user create albums, but not web galleries. {dont think anyway}

and finally,

Ulead's DvDPictureShow 9/9
I like this app the best for outputting pix to tv, dvd, vcd, or svcd.
It would get a 10/10 if it could output to a web gallery (webpage). Very nice looking app, easy to use, functionality and good graphix.
