Best DVD slideshow software?

Which would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Best as in cheapest? Easiest to use? Produces best output?

FWIW, I've created great DVD slideshows using Windows Movie Maker, and Roxio Easy Media Creator. Sonic used to make a DVD SlideShow burner plugin to burn the slideshows to DVD. Worked very well.

"Best" is quite ambiguous.

is up to you. You need to pick a software package that does what you want and need it to.

I can give you a suggestion and the one I think is best and thats Proshow Gold or Proshow Producer. Go to http://www.photodex.com and download a demo of either program. Producer is aimed towards professionals and its price reflects that. Gold is for the consumer and its priced very reasonably for what it does. Many output options, pan/zoom, caption and caption effects, sycing of music and so on.

Currently version 3 is in beta testing so hopefully it will not be too much longer. However, if you decide to buy Proshow now you get 1 year free upgrades that would get you version 3 when its released.

Have you tried the softwre that was bundled with your DVD burner? I would see if your existing software won't meet your needs before spending money on a new program.

Another vote for ProShow Gold. Excellent support and a large user base that is helpful. Here is another thread on ProShow. Do a search and you will find alot more.

According to you specification, this is the software you need. Just try it, you'll adopt it right away.

I'm a very satisfied user and a beta tester for Proshow. I am not an employee and do not recieve any money from them.

And speaking of beta testers...we are beta testing version 3 right now. Looks good but I can't talk about features yet.
