Hello John, I have gone down that road in the long past and finally concluded that the best approach is to use a video editing program that has a timeline. The video editors handle stills as well as video. You drop your images on the timeline and drop the music track down. Adjust duration of slides that you want and then have the editor create a DVD - playable on most any DVD player. On top of that, you have something to give the viewers that doesn't require a computer or special software, etc.
The one I use most of the time is Ulead Video Studio - currently on version 8. Adobe Premiere Elements is also pretty good (more buggy for me). There is a little more work involved this way, but the productions can look much more professional. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, February 10, 2005, 2:15:00 PM, you wrote: JC> Anyone here use Powerpoint?
