Slideshows to DVD

[stan the man]

I have been using Microsoft Photostory 3 to create simple slideshows from my photographs with a music soundtrack. This creates good WMV files for viewing on my PC but what I'd like is to save these onto a DVD in a format that can be played in a standard DVD player for TV viewing. Ideally I'd like to be able to save several files on one DVD in "chapter" format. Has anyone any recommendations for suitable (and inexpensive) software? Thanks.

I tried that but it didn't really give me what I want. Photostory has an add-on that lets you burn individual slideshows to a DVD but not several slideshows that can be accessed via a menu. As such, I'm looking for something a little more sophisticated.

I've tried the free DVD Flick but this doesn't seem to support files created by Photostory (somehting to do with "codecs") so it looks as if I'm going to need to buy something. Roxio and Nero all seem to offer extensive packages but I don't want to spend more than I actually need. Or perhaps I can get everything I want from a package such as Pro Show Gold and would be better off buying that.

I reckon pro show gold is the way to go stan. It will do exactly what you are asking for .
