I am composing a "Family Slideshow" of my Mom and Dad's old family pictures for my brothers and sisters. I want to have it all on one DVD but I am short approximately 200 MB having enough space to record in "High Quality" (of which I want). I have resized my pictures and lowered the resolution. It fits well on using "Standard" with room to spare. By the way, I have Creator 10. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make my file smaller. Most of my pictures are 4x6, some a little more, some a little less. My resolution is at the most 200 and the least 100 to 72. I have 297 pictures and audio to accompany the slideshow. Thanks, southerngirl

Don't worry about size. It is the length of time that counts. You will get 1 hour of video, on a standard 4.7GB DVD, at best quality. Even if it is a bit longer than that, leave it set to HQ, and when you burn it, burn it to an image file, then to a DVD, using Video Copy and Convert.

Resolution doesn't matter much since all images will be converted to video (720x480). UNLESS you checked the option to include the JPEGs on the DVD. In that case, the image file are included as data. You could gain back that space if you uncheck that option.

I don't know which program you used to create the slideshow, but if you have the option to add 'transitions', that can shorten the video without sacrificing quality. The transitions take a bit of time from each photo and combine them which makes the entire slideshow shorter. ( Fade works well )

Or just shorten the duration of the slides.

Thanks for all the advice. In each post I have learned something and I will put it to use. I can tell--I am going to learn from this forum and am very excited about it. I started off with Roxio 9 and made 2 slideshows and this is my first slideshow with Roxio 10. I have a Canon D20 (digital camera) and work in Photoshop CS2. I take a LOT of pictures and making slideshows is the perfect solution so I am looking forward to learning as much as I can about Roxio and through posts, I will learn alot. Thanks so much----southerngirl
