Hello, I'm very new to Vegas Video. Still going thru the manual. I plan on editing my home DV sometime soon.

My real question now is the 600 or so digital pictures that I want to get into a VCD.
I then want take this VCD and play them on my DVD player. I want to be able to toggle thru them on my TV.

Is this possible with Vegas Video?
If not, is there another program that I can use other then toggling thru them with my camera?

I dont want to have people sit at my computer and go thru the pictures.

Once I get them to VCD will I be able to toggle thru them with the DVD remote or some sort of slide show?

If this explains it in the manual, can you give me the page number?

I just want other people to view my pictures without sitting in front of a computer or going to a place like picturetrail, imagestation and others.

Thanks in advace for your help.

Craig

I don't know of a way to toggle through any sort of video on TV except using something like a Kodak format PictureCD. You can easily drag the pictures to the timeline having them automatically crossfade and stay on the same length of time using the settings in the Options/Preferences/Edit tab. You can also pause with the typical pause button on you remote control.

that site might help. you can make a DVD menu that acts like a slide show... I've seen it on countless DVD's, but the interface is usually kind of clumsy. some are good though. you might be able to get a VCD or SVCD to do this as well.

Right. You want them where they can't escape.

Not sure how much toggling you want to do during the showing. And I can't help with DVD. But if you do a straight photo montage in Vegas - fairly quick running - you can let it run by itself most of the time and only stop it once in a while to relay anecdotes or whatever.

Slide shows can be done very beautifully in Vegas, like shredder has shown us.

Or search this forum for "photomontage", "photo montage" etc.
