I'm doing a graduation DVD that should be finished up this week. For part of it I put on ~300 pictures of the kids. I also decided to put the pictures on the DVD as the origional jpg's so that people could print them off it they wanted.

So, I decided t put each image name as a sub-title. Here's how I did it the "easy" way (as compared to typing each name in manually)

1) make sure you have your pictures organized. I put 99 in each folder.

2) run command.com & go to that folder (quick dos lesson: to change drive's, type the drive letter followed by a collon. ex: c: changes to c drive, d: changes to d drive, etc. cd foldername changes to a directory off the current one. So, if you pictures were stored in g:\grad05\pics\set1 to get there you'd type g: <enter> cd\grad05\pics\set1 <enter>)

3) once in the folder, type "dir *.* > file.txt" & hit enter. You now have a file called file.txt that lists ALL The files in the folder!

4) open file.txt & edit out all the useless stuff (date, size, etc). I keep the 8.3 filenames if there are any (never know what OS someone is using afterall...)

5) make your music/pic compilation, then add a subtitle track, then import this .txt file. It will match up perfectly as long sa you didn't mess up! :)

Goodluck!
