Another post, but there is so much to be learned here, far, far better than any manual!
Yesterday it was recommended to scan photos in Tiff or bmp rather than jpeg - but I did a test scan of a photo, the jpeg size was just 358kb while the bitmap was 5.17 Mb. I compile music supported slideshows of photographic collections (weddings holidays events etc) surely with an average of 80 pics plus music, the rendering will take longer than I have to live, or the computer will melt down?
Jpeg - Tiff - Bmp etc which to use?

Nothings Easy!
If you prepare your pictures in 720x576 before as your other post suggests, it doesn't matter what format you use, but take care that the JPEG compression is not too heavy (90-95% is ideal).
A 720*576 BMP should be 1244KB if I'm not mistaken.
If you import the full size images and asks VS to resize them, go for BMP the artifacts will not multiply. This is theory, but the "quality" and wonderful color space possibilities of TV make the point moot to unsuspecting laymen.
I regularly make video from pictures (about 4-5 Mpixel, JPG not resized) with about 500 pictures including transitions, overlays, texts, music, filters, and it lasts no more than 4 hours to render with smart rendering off. See profile for system specs, very ordinary. I hope you will live longer and your computer will last as much.
What I do is prepare the projects, save them, then work on the next.
Before going to bed, I start a batch convert to MPG and in the input dialog I select the VSP projects directly. The next morning it's done and I really couldn't care less at what time it was finished (as long as it doesn't beep when done...)
