5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST PRODUCT FOR A SLIDE SHOW ON YOUR TV!!!, December 1, 2003

This review is from: Ulead DVD PictureShow 2 (CD-ROM)

I bought DVD PictureShow 2 after being extremely frustrated with Roxio DVD creator. I was trying to put a very large slideshow together for my daughter's wedding. It was a snap.

1. Easy ability to import a zillion digital images.

2. Then the program will fill your TV with each image, even if the sizes are not the same.

3. It is true, you have to build an audio track using a sound editor, if you want more than one song on the Slide Show. I used Audio Surgeon to match major theme changes to the music. For example, I wanted Song XX to start on slide number 225. At 3 seconds per slide, that occured at 675 seconds, or 11 minutes and 15 seconds into the slide show. With the sound editor I built a single .mp3 track to swap songs at 11 minutes and 15 seconds. The rub is "Will DVD PictureShow 2 be as accurate after 11 minutes of flipping 225 slides?" YES!!!! It was perfect!!

4. We did have problems playing a DVD in an older Toshiba DVD Player, but it has worked flawlessly in every other one we tried.

Compared to the other things I have tried, this product is world's ahead. Get it.

Hope this helps.

I have a full review of this product under the first version but the bottom line is you need to use the trial version before you buy this excellent program.

It worked fine for me under XP with my burner, but there are literally millions of combinations of CD burners, operating systems, and drivers that no one program can support all. Roxio CD Creator (one of the worst CD burner programs to come along in a long time) works intermittently on my own system, for example, while Picture Show works fine.

If you have broadband the 38meg trial won't be a program for you. Those without can purchase (for a couple of bucks) the demo disk. But I have to say that anyone with a digital camera, a CD burner, and a DVD player ought to have this program.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work, zero tech support, February 1, 2003

This review is from: Ulead DVD PictureShow 2 (CD-ROM)

I purchased this by download from Ulead's site. The program wouldn't recognize my Cd burner (Roxio Easy CD worked fine, but didn't do what I wanted to do with photos). I emailed tech support and got a response a week later saying that they didn't have an answer and needed more time. That's been about 3 weeks ago and I never got a response. Look and see how many people complain about the program not working on Ulead's message board before you buy this. I should have tried the trial version first, but I checked and the site said it supported my drive, OS, etc.
