Help with burning slideshow on dvd!

[ralph III]

Hello,

Is there any way of creating and burning a slideshow to dvd and then adding and burning another slideshow to the same dvd later? Without menus, btw. The dvd must run as one continuous slideshow. I have Roxio Easy CD and DVD Burner, using windows XP with 2.6 ghz processor.

 

I can create numerous slideshows but must burn all at the same time. The problem with that is it takes 2 1/2 hours to burn a 45 min. dvd. and I would like to add 15 min. of photo slideshow the day of the presentation. As such, I will not have time to reburn the entire dvd the same day.

 

Thanks

Once you burn a slideshow to a DVD, the disc is finalized and you can't add any more to the DVD.

Is there anyway of speeding the burn process up without losing quality? I have 8 megapizels images which will be shown as a slideshow presentation on a large screen tv. I have been burning it at 16:9, HQ, and the slower 1:2 x burn speed I think.

Actual Burn is between your burner and the media you feed it… A 1 hour long project takes 1 hour at 1X, 1/2 hour at 2X, 15 min @ 4, etc.

 

Rendering is what takes time and only the speed of your cpu combined with a high end video card can change that.

That makes sense. Given that, I have one last question. Will I lose much quality burning at 2.4x versus 4.0x?

 

I am still creating in HQ, using high quality digital pictures. I don't think it would show on a smaller tv but need to maintain excellent quality for a large screen.

Burn speed has no effect on quality, the quality has already been dtermined by the time you do the burn

You will lose quality when you create the DVD, unless you create BD discs.
