Slideshow

Post by MrOctober »

Is it possible to create a slideshow where you will be able to skip to the next or back to the previous picture? I created a one and with the two dvd players I have, all it did was go back to the beginning when I tried to go back a picture.

Welcome to the forums,

Similar to viewing photos on your PC using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? Nope not possible when creating a video photo-slideshow. When you create a video photo-slideshow, the photos are converted to video. Instead of just a single image, there are muliple images (frames) for each second of video. So for example if you're in PAL land, you would have 25 frames for each second of video, meaning for each "photo" the program duplicates that photo 25 times for each second of video, (for NTSC it would be multiples of 29.97).

It gets a bit more complicated, the compression (CODEC) used will use "I" (complete frames or total photo), and then "B" and "P" frames which only contain changes before and after the "I" frames...

However you may be able to get close to this by creating chapter points for each image. BUT this would limit you to 99 Chapters (images) per Title (video clip). With chapters you could jump back and forth, but again DVD specs limit the amount of chapters allowed for each title.

Also when you jump to a chapter, the video title will continue to play until the end of that title, unless you select another chapter. You would not have arrow buttons < > overlaying each image to proceed to the next/previous image (chapter).
