2.0 out of 5 stars
Sounds good on paper,
By Rafael Crespo (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DVD Pictureshow 2.0 Deluxe (CD-ROM)
I purchase this program hoping I can put together a photo slideshow as a farewell present for a coworker and also as a slideshow gift for my niece. I tried the trial version first. It has very easy menus and I was able to create my first slideshow in 20 minutes. It worked great in my home DVD. I decided to purchase the program the next day. After finalizing the DVD I decided to try out the slideshow at work. It didn't work in two DVD's at my work place. I tried at two other people DVD's, still nothing. I went back and I tried different setup menus. After wasting more than 25 CD's I decided to call the company. The technical support recommendation: purchase a similar DVD so my niece can play the slideshow!!!!! What a waste of time and money!! The program sounds good on paper, does not deliver. Don't waste your money!

Cannot synchronize slideshow length to soundtrack length.,

This review is from: DVD Pictureshow 2.0 Deluxe (CD-ROM)
For the price, Ulead's DVD PictureShow 2 is a fairly competent program. However, there is a reason why consumers may consider programs like Photodex's ProShow 2 a better choice. ProShow can automatically synchronize the length of a slideshow to match the total length of its accompanying soundtrack; DVD PictureShow cannot. DVD PictureShow does not calculate what slide is reached when a piece of music ends. Instead, the user must preview the slideshow and then through painstakingly manual trial-and-error, adjust the length of the slideshow to match the length of its accompanying soundtrack. If a DVD PictureShow slideshow is longer than its soundtrack, the last song in the soundtrack will repeat itself until the end of the slideshow.
If you can live with this problem (and it's kind of a hard problem to live with), DVD PictureShow 2 has slightly more functionality than ProShow. DVD PictureShow users can burn discs in VCD, SVCD, and DVD format (ProShow users are limited to VCD); add video clips to the slideshow and audio annotations to any picture; print CD labels and show indices; and specify at a mouse-click where music transitions take place on the slideshow's storyboard (users must manually calculate custom music transitions in ProShow). However, ProShow has 280 transition effects, compared to PictureShow's 42 transition effects. Users who are comfortable with sound editing will find DVD PictureShow 2 acceptable. Most other users should look at other products first.
