I am using a program call Ulead DVD PictureShow, which creates a VCD photo slideshow... it allows u to create up to 99 albums w/ 99 photos each... For each album you can also put in your own background music using mp3's...
All you need to do is pop the VCD into your DVD player (capable of playing VCDs), and a menu will appear letting u to choose which album to view... once u choose, the slideshow begins and go through each photo every x seconds (this is configurable when u create the CD)...
The program is very easy to use... and the VCD is a no brainer to view... all u need to do is pop it in the player...
