Advance slides with DVD player remote?

Oscar54 · Post by **Oscar54** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 7:38 pm

I searched the old and new BBS and couldn't find info. I would like to build a slideshow (no sound) that will stay on each slide indefinitely. Going forward or backward in the slideshow would be done using buttons on the remote control (next/prev chapter). Was going to try the trial version, but it wouldn't run after installation. My current version (probably 1) won't do this function.

thanks!

Sounds like a power point project @@....

No offense, but this is not DPS is for, so you can create a power point project and import a pieture in each slide, then you can control it by one click.

I don't think you'll get a Powerpoint presentation to play very well on a set-top DVD player

I already have a PowerPoint presentation. Now I need to be able to display the slides on a DVD player.

The purpose of the question was to see if the latest DPS version would allow me to take pictures/slides from a PowerPoint presentation and move it to DVD with manual control.

The purpose of DVD PictureShow is to move pictures DVD media so they will display on a DVD Player/TV. My question was just asking if the program would allow manual advancing of the pictures, rather than just a timed advance.

There are other products that can do this (e.g. PowerPoint2DVD, DVD Lab, DVD Studio Pro, etc.). I was just hoping it was a feature in the latest DVDPS since I have an older version and liked it for simple ease of use.

Thanks!

DVDPS supports to burn an DVD-Video disc, and DVD-Video cannot do what you want. To make the DVD disc as you wish you will need to burn an DVD-Audio disc, but there are rare players can support to play DVD-Audio. Maybe in the future.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the note H.T. However, I've found DVD slideshows with manual advance created with both PowerPoint2DVD ( http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com/ ) and with DVD Studio Pro (a Macintosh application) both work with every desktop DVD player I've tried. So, I guess the DVD spec does allow for something like that (although I'm NOT an expert on the DVD specification). Powerpoint2DVD even takes the images automatically from PowerPoint. With DVDSP we have to export the slides, then lay them on a DVDSP timeline.

It's interesting, when one of these plays on my Pioneer DV-343, the display indicates "STILL" when each slide is displayed. There's always more to learn...

Yes, I agree with your opinions.

If you can, I suggest you fill the Ulead Tech Support Form to suggest Ulead to add the features as you mentioned.
