Four Slide Shows burn on 1 DVD?

[PRB14]

I would like to create 4 slideshows and burn them all on the same DVD. Can't find anything in help file on how to accomplish this.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You can create a DVD with 4 slideshows using the normal procedures of PictureShow. There's no tutorial specially for doing it. This is a normal feature of PictureShow. The thing is, you have to create and burn them at the same time. You cannot use multisession on a PictureShow project. PictureShow projects are saved in video standards' VCD, SVCD or DVD. These do not support multisession.

I have the four slide shows saved as projects. How can I burn them all on one DVD if I can only open one project at a time? How can I get all four ready to burn and then burn them to one DVD?

Thanks.

Finally found how to do it by experimenting and checking the manual. I was able to produce a DVD with 6 slide shows (4.06 GB). Took 4 hours and 40 minutes once I started the burn process,

Is the time it took to burn normal?

There are many considerations to take with regards to the burning speed. The time it took you to finish the project is long, but it is still normal. I know of some people who take half day or overnight to finish the project.

Basically, you have to make sure no other applications are running while you are rendering your PictureShow project.

You'll also have to take note of the size of the sizes of the pictures you use for the project. A DVD uses 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576(PAL) for its frame size. Thus if you have a high quality image like 2048x1536 (3.1 Mega Pixels) or higher, PictureShow will have a hard time re-rendering it to DVD standard video. It will work best if you use frame sizes of 800x600.

Phil,
What were the steps to burn your 6 projects onto 1 DVD? Could you share them or tell me where you found out how?
Thanks,
MJ
