Introduction to Slideshows

In much the same way you assemble video assets in the Track Editor, you can assemble
still images in slideshows, with fixed or user-controlled duration, and with or without
audio. With the DVD Studio Pro slideshow feature, you can also create presentations with
high-quality audio, and even put photo albums and scrapbooks on DVDs.

Slideshows can be used for training, human resources information, education, corporate
communications, health care, weddings, and special events. Features, documentaries,
and promotional materials on DVD can include slideshows for supplementary materials.
