The second option hadn't occurred to me. But now that you mention it, I have seen a couple of my friends make a video from their vacation pics with music and soundtrack and such. > If the former, then that's rather simple, just drag and drop the > pictures into a new K3b data project and use k3b to burn the contents > to disk. I have done that in the past. But this time, I was thinking of making the electronic album with the captions and such. > If you want family members to simply pop the disk into their DVD > player, as long as that player supports SVCD or VCD playback (most > should) then you might want to look at the tovid project > (tovid.sourceforge.net). I have done some stuff with this package, Very interesting. I will look into this and see how it goes. But the album I mentioned in my original message is not going to be a video, at least for now. > mostly to transfer movies over to DVDs, but there is also new work > being done with it to make photo vcds/svcd's, which could also feature > a musical soundtrack and autofade in and out to the other pictures in > the "roll". Hmm ... as I mentioned, I have seen my friends who use Windows do something like this. At that time I wondered if we have something similar, or more powerful, in Linux. But never got around investigating it. I will take a look at this project. > There's a mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - look for a > subject line "makevcd and slides".
