Using MP3s.....possible?

GRRRR. I have PhotoShow Deluxe and have made a GREAT slideshow for my daughter's first birthday. Once I got done, I read that if I make a VCD, that only ONE of my MP3s will go with it. WTF??? I have like 5 of those suckers on it! Because I want to be able to play it on a DVD player, I don't want to burn it to a CD-R. I am SO not happy. Is this common for programs to only burn one MP3 or is it a PhotoShow issue?

SO...I am thinking about using this software, but I cannot...FOR ANYTHING...find information on whether or not I can burn it with more than ONE MP3 file. Does anyone know? I would hate to get this software, spend the time to make ANOTHER show, and get stuck again!

Please help!!

Thanks:)

What PS version# were you using? You may need a DVD plug-in to be able to burn it to DVD if its later version. Also, if you do a slideshow and add audio, the number of audio files will depend on the length of your presentation. If you can't add another audio it might be possible that its a trial version with a limit of adding more. I guess

I have the full Deluxe version of PhotoShow. The number of pictures that I can use is unlimited, really (like 400 or more). When I contacted tech support they told me that they do not offer the capabilities to burn to a DVD and with a VCD, only one MP3 will burn. BUT, they do offer their own services that you pay for to burn a DVD for you. Nice.

I just didn't know if this was common with software or if I were to switch to this program (Ulead) if I would be able to burn a DVD with all MP3s.

Thanks for any help!

Why don't you try to upgrade to PS4? I guess all your need is met here.

PhotoShow Deluxe published by Simple Star is primarily meant for creating slide shows to be shown on a computer using HTML, an *.exe file or uploading to the Simple Star server. Creating a VCD is possible but means using only one imported MP3 as you have already found out, but, if I remember PS D correctly, you do have access to a pretty good library of licensed music.

Photo Show Deluxe does a fine job doing what it is supposed to do but, in reality, is meant for a totally different purpose than creating VCDs or DVDs.
