Worst program I have EVER used!!!!!! [Posted on 2007-12-19]
Don't waste your money or time!!! I have been creating dvd slideshows for Christmas presents for years using Microsoft's Photostory. (I had to use a different program to burn the slide show to a DVD) Unfortunately, Microsoft discontinued support of their product, so I purchased this product. It is very easy to add pictures to the slide show, but that is where it ends. The program uses 99% of my CPU, as a result, my computer would freeze up constantly (2.6 GHz XP w/ 2 gig ram). There is not an easy way to save your work, so everytime my computer would crash, I lost all of the work I had done. Finally after completing the slideshow it would NOT burn to DVD or the computer - the program would freeze "trancoding" the slideshow. Obviously, my children's grandparents will not be receiving their DVD copy this year and I will have to start from scratch after Christmas with a different program.

User Friendly Program [Posted on 2008-02-09]
As someone who is not computer-savvy, I needed a slide show program that would be easy to use but that the final product would have a "WOW! How'd you do that?" factor -- and this program does just that. Easy to use, and in addition to using still photos, it also converts movies from my digital camera to formats that can be used/viewed in other programs. By far, the best inexpensive program around.

very poor basic software [Posted on 2008-03-13]
I bought this software at Office Depot thinking it was best of its kind there, and was extremely disappointed and frustrated.

I bought this software primarily because of its claim to convert existing Powerpoint files to a DVD ready disc very easily and with professional results. It did neither. The software had some trouble converting the Powerpoint file and can't even properly convert to a DVD format and burn on to a DVD disc. The software had very little, if any, tech support.

I later found out there were many other software programs that could a much better job and a fraction of its price. I highly would not recommend this item, don't waste your money like I did.

waste of time and money [Posted on 2008-08-19]
Yeah, it's easy to use and the slideshows look ok on the computer, but that's the most I ever got out of it. When I tried to burn any slideshow of any size (even a test slideshow with only one picture) it would tell me that the slideshow doesn't fit onto the dvd. Customer support was unhelpful and eventually stopped responding to my husband's emails. In the end I've spent tons of time creating slideshows that no one will ever see. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Adequate for small jobs [Posted on 2008-08-19]
I made a show with 200 slides with this product. It took an hour to produce the DVD, which played fine on my system, with music, only after I hooked up an analog audio line in addition to my digital optics cable.

The interface is easy to use. You cannot specify timings or transitions for single slides, only whole shows. I'd recommend it for beginners who want to make shows of 50 or less slides, want a cheaper product, and aren't expecting to get much in the way of customer support.
