Incorporating one PS3 within another

At a certain point in a Photo Story, I say, in effect, "An earlier Photo
Story is relevant here, let's just run it through..." Fade to black, fade in
earlier Photo Story, then back to main story via a cross-fade or other
transition. Main story about 100 images, "insert" story, about 50-60 images.
Is there any way I can do a direct incorporation, or do I have to re-create
the "insert", working from a listing of all of its images, timings, and
transitions? If the latter, is it possible to have both previews on the
screen simultaneously? Have I missed some obvious solution?

=============================
One possibility would be to create your
movies in PhotoStory and then import
them into Movie Maker and save as a
complete movie.

I'll have a look at that tomorrow, it's midnight , now, where I live. I've
not used Movie Maker, yet. But can one import a "movie" (stills sequence in
this case) into another, at a desired point?

Yes, in Movie Maker you can split a video
clip anywhere you need to and insert stills
or another video clip. And you can add a
separate audio file if you wish.

The overall answer is yes.... you can make whatever clips you want in PS3
and use them in Movie Maker, making the best use of both.

Realize that the common use of DVDs is often a quality constraint to
movies.... to comply with the MPEG-2 requirements to be on a disc, the
largest movie size is 720x480 pixels (NTSC). Still pictures are often higher
resolution, and so might Photo Stories be.

If you bypass the DVD, you can move up to higher quality.... Movie Maker
supports custom profiles... see my website > Saving Movies > Custom WMV
Profiles page...
 
as they look more unacceptable on bigger screens, you could put them
together into montages or collages in a graphics app first to make the
higher quality input files for.... like I did to make this story. The strory
is from a single put-together picture.

That's really useful, I'll stick with the steam-age method I'm using for
current project but start experimenting with the technique you explain,
next
time the case arises. By the way, maybe I'm committing original sin, but I
make my PS 3's into .wmv's at NTSC 1024x768, then transcode in Nero as
best
quality PAL, and burn to DVD in Nero.
The results, to my eye, look better than most. But I'm going to spend time
on your site and play a bit. What's really started to worry me is that the
original camera resolution (I'm still using an ancient 2.1 megapix Canon)
is
going to give unacceptable images on the growing number of large LSD or
plasma screens... I can't face shooting my whole library of 1,000+
historical (non-copyright) images again with a higher resolution camera!
