Okay everyone out there - I bought this not-at-all easy program, and I am determined to get it to work, but I need some help. I'm trying to take years of reuonion slides and making a slideshow which I can show on my DVD on the big screen. I followed the directions (such as they are) from Roxio on making a slideshow. It says when you finish adding photos, click on add photos, which I did. It then took me a page to make a file. However, it didn't say how to make the file, or which file to use. I also added music, which plays when I watch my show on the computer but won't play when I try to watch it on my DVD.

I have now several versions of my slideshow which I can call up and go through it on the computer with music, which I added to it. I cannot call the slide show up into My DVD, nor can I get it to play on my DVD big screen. It will burn, but then it only plays the first slide, and it does not play the music I programmed to go with the slide show, it plays some thing else, then makes a sound like a 16MM projector and shuts itself off. Is there any help for me? Ella

You don't say but it sounds like you were not using Videowave to make the slide show. My personal opinion is that's the best way to have complete control over what you want. It sounds like you're using the Slideshow Assistant which makes perfect sense but that's basically for simple slide shows. Take a close look at the tutorials section and you'll see some helpful hints on how to make slides with Videowave.

Perhaps this post in the Tips and Tricks area will help. Also watch the videos. There is a lot of good information in both the EMC 9 and 10 Tips and Tricks area of the forum.

Yes, I was using slideshow, which is what the manual said to do. I'll check out videowave. Thanks Ella
