Hi everyone-

I'm interested to know what software folks are using to make playable DVDs of digital camera images?

I know under Windows there are a number of pieces of software to take a directory full of images and make them play on a DVD player.

Either click-to-select-next-image or slideshow would work.

I'm not looking for anything like a convert-to-video with subtitles, audio and all that --

I just want to create something similar to a contact-sheet in regular photography - something that you can view each image on a DVD player.

fyi --
Needs to run under Centos 5 and KDE, if possible
I don't intend to replace my entire distro or switch to Gnome just to do this..

tia,

Google linux dvd slideshow and pick your way through the available choices.

duh!!

thanks, for some reason, I didn't think to add the term "slideshow" to my previous Googleizing.

So I was getting millions of hits on distros, ripping DVDS, etc-- and not on how to create this sort of thing.

You're right -- just adding "slideshow" moved those hits to the top.

again.. duh... that's what I get for trying to figure this out with no sleep..

;-)

THE best GUI CD,DVD writing software out there I
have found is k3b.

k3b is indeed what I will use to burn the image-

But k3b itself cannot create a DVD slideshow.

It can create a data or video DVD, IF you have the files required already assembled--

which is what I'm trying out qDVDAuthor for -

that program will (hopefully) create the DVD slideshow files, and then I'll use k3b to burn it to disc.

I posted what I posted because I thought the
slideshow software was on the DVD player
machine itself. It is on my Panasonic
Omnivision. The player itself will slideshow
all pictures in any or all directories.
I can write my pictures to the same or many
directories. The Panasonic on command will
slideshow through these pictures.

oh, ok.



Time for a new DVD player, methinks...

I had hoped my old RCA did that -- but it just sat there.
I didn't think about trying the newer one upstairs.

It would be useful to be able to view direct browseable image files like that.

Here's another SlideShow creator SMILE.
