Creating an image VCD (Slide show) of your pics
***************************************

Next window will look like the one below except the pics of course:




On this window you can add another slide show, edit or remove the current one and see how it looks. Remember that you can have upto 99 slide shows, so go ahead and add many slide shows. At the bottom right of the window you can see how much space your slide show is going to require.

Click Next when you are done and it will bring you the next window:



Here you can specify background template and background music for your VCD layout. This is how it will look like when you insert your VCD in your DVD player. You can browse your hard drive for a background image and background music.

It is important to know that this background music will play when you insert your VCD in your DVD player, not during your slide show. You have already added background music to your slide show when you added your pics.

Click Next to proceed.The next window shows you a simulation of your remote control and the layout of your VCD. Every slide show is given a digit on your DVD player’s remote control. Click a digit on the simulation of a remote control to see how it works.

Click Next to move to the next window.



Here you can specify a folder where the slide show will be saved and a label for your CD.

Click Next to bring up the last window. This is the last step of the whole process. Choose “Record to CD” and then click “Create VCD”. The program will now encode all data you have added to your slide show into VCD format and then burn it on your CD-R/RW.

The amount of time the encoding and burning process will take depends on the amount of data you are burning. But if you have just a couple of slide shows and some music files, it will take 2-5 minutes at most.

After the burning process is finished, take out your CD containing your valuable pics and watch yourself and your close ones on your TV screen.
