    Hands down ... Memories On Tv. It's designed to burn the slideshow to DVD that can then be played on any DVD player. One can include music of your choice (assuming you have the MP3 files - not so hard :D). It will also generate panning and/or fade effects for each image in the show. You can control the effect, make it random, or a combination of both; for example specify random for the entire show but over-ride for a specific image. Pretty nice piece of software. I bought my copy on the recommendation of Shay Stephens (for those who remember him).

    Disclaimer - nothing to disclaim as my ONLY association with them is as a customer.

    I use showit. Actually I just got it a couple days ago and I am pretty impressed. It works pretty well.

    Proshow Producer.... end of thread... Unless you know how to use flash! :D

    There is a real divide between proshow and the others. Although, there can be a bit of a learning curve for proshow, its worth it!

    My only qualm with proshow producer is that it is only for PC, so I am being made to keep on trying windows 7. rolleyes1.gif

    It is a great software. A little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it... thumb.gif

    I use Adobe Premier Elements.

    It works in layers...up to 99 I think....of video, stills, or music.
    Thanks,

    I'm also a huge fan of ProShow Producer. Not being Mac compatible is the only big drawback I see!!

    I would by a windows-based PC just for Proshow Producer alone (even if I ran a Mac)! Mark Ridout, who is the world guru (google his name) for Proshow lives in our town and some of the stuff I've seen him put out is tremendous.

    +1 for showit works great / customizable / fast loading time / you can link it to a smugmug gallery (so your customers can get prints) ....

    Works for me thumb.gif

    If on a Mac.... I use fotomagico. Very user friendly. Maybe not as advanced as Proshow but until Proshow gets made for Mac we Mac lovers are kinda stuck....
