I recently built a slide show on My DVD 6 and discovered it has a limit of 99 slides. I was told by someone that Video Wave 8 has a 999 slide limit for its shows. Has anyone out there built a slide show of several hundred slides on Video Wave 8? Additionally is there anyway you can use just (for example) one minute of a two minute audio file?

I don't know if there is an software limit to the number of slides (there is a physical one of course) on a DVD but trying to squeeze 999 slides on a DVD slideshow would be ridiculous. At best quality you would be able to show each slide for only about 3.5 seconds and that would be without any menus, audio, transitions or effects. I don't think you would want to have a slideshow with more then 400 slides and even then you would have to break it up into Titles to make it watcheable. Remember a DVD slideshow is actually a movie, you cannot easily jump forward or backward without creating a separate chapter for each single slide (photo)

I believe you can have several titles to your slideshow in DVD 6 but each title can have only 99 photos. Perhaps EMC 8 has a similar limit.

One other workaround in V6 is to add a transition. Just 1 is needed and V6 will render the slideshow into a DVD Movie like V7 & V8 do automatically. This eliminates the 99 limit.

I have made slide shows with over 800 pictures and movies.  I'm sure the transitions and music tracks that I add take up some of the space.

I guess I should have specified that I made those with Videowave.

MyDVD 6 doesn't have a limit of 99 pictures... the limit is 999, however there would be a slight pause every 99th and 100th picture...
