Thanks for your reply and tip about changing the duration prior to
adding pictures. One more question: If I burn this slideshow to a
DVD, what format/filetype should I select to make the DVD playable on
any player? (the pc I'm using now doesn't have a burner so it only
appears to have a selection to 'save to my computer' option.
===========================================
Generally...save as 'DV-AVI' is recommended.
Here are some options: (Also...you will need
DVD Authoring software...Nero, Roxio, Ulead, etc...)
To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
Also, you may find it useful to use
a custom profile:

===========================================
Also, will the images in the slideshow be of 'acceptable' quality for
viewing on a video projector screen?
===========================================
Should be but who knows? If the quality is not
acceptable...you might try using a Custom Profile
as mentioned in the Saving info.
