hi,
This may be off topic but I would like to know from people that actually work with video's and DVD in general. I have created a video of a friends son's 4th Birthday that included my grandchildren. I encorporated a slideshow of images taken by the parents attending. I plan to make copies for those who wish one. I want to know if it is possible to include on the DVD a folder containing the JPG images as just Image file?
Would I just burn the video to a Folder on HD, then store these JPG Image files in a separate folder uder the Video TS folder and burn these to DVD?
I hope you can follow my idea.

Yes, I've done it. Create the DVD to a folder. Then, inside the DVD folder, beside the Video TS folder, not inside it, create a folder for the images. Then burn to disc. When they put the DVD in the computer drive their DVD player may open. They can close the player and explore the DVD to view the images. __________________________________

Hi,
Thanks! I thought so but I wanted to confirm my thoughts. Now all I have to do is re-name the images to something meaningfull.

I do this all the time, almost every disc.
Using Power2Go, I start with a DATA DVD.
I import my Audio and Video folders, and P2G asks me if I want this to be a playable disc, can't remember the exact message right now.
I answer yes, then import all my source files, or, even better you can load the PPM and use the disc in the future to re-edit.
Remember that if you use the PPM, you might not get all the images and video, just the ones actually used in the project. If making the disc for someone else, you can list on the disc label that the project files are on the disc for printing or viewing, and can also be opened as a project in PD 8 or higher.

hi, im using a pd9, and just made a slideshow with my 739 photos. now i have 2 questions, i have been trying to use a 62 mins long music to be the background music, however, it turns out to be only 42 mins slideshow, in which, part of the music was cut, no matter i choose 'music to fit photos' or 'photos to fit music' as my preference, or even change the duration of each photos to fit the music duration. it makes me very frustrated. secondly, please let me know, how to use pd9 to make a slideshow folder and photos printable folder on a dvd. thank you!
