Slide Show Software Suggestions

[ajwray]

I am trying to make slide show dvd's with music for a present. Picasa has a good interface but limits you to one song. I have Nero Vison but the transitions don't seem to work like I want them to with the music.

Does anybody have any other suggestions for good slide show software with output to wmv or dvd? The main thing is to have a good editing interface to match the music to the slides.

Thanks in advance....

MemoriesOnTV (yes, stupid name) is what I used for our wedding DVD. It's not horribly expensive, fairly easy to use, and has several transitions, including the Ken Burns effect. I'm sure there are better solutions but this is one I am aware of and have used on a couple of occasions.

oddly enough, I found iMovie to excel at this. I haven't found a good windows equivalent, but might want to give windows movie maker a shot

Thanks everyone...

I tried Windows Movie Make and got it to do what I want but even encoded at DVI quality, the pictures lost a little integrity (if that is the correct word).

I'll try one of the others mentioned here and let you know.

DVI quality?

I have three - ProShow Gold, Photostage, and Arcsoft DVD Slide Show. All are good, but my favorite is the Arcsoft because of simplicity and ease of controlling background music, Burns effects, titles, etc.
