Hi All,

I took a trip this summer with a few others to Sturgis and then on to Colorado. I have quite a few jpg photos that I would like to put into a 'movie', add sound, and then create DVD(s) for the group.

What are your suggestions on a cheap (free), easy to use program to achieve my goal?

TIA

Photo Story 3 for Windows works great.

I use Nero 8 (Nero 9 now out) - it does everything you want and then some. I combine HD Video with JPG's into AVCHD (High-def) DVD's playable only on Blu-Ray - but it also does regular or wide screen DVD's. Best I have found - but not the easiest. The easier programs don't give you much flexability on music, transisions, special effects, etc. but the do a decent job.
Also Nero Photoshow Deluxe is quick and easy - and does a decent job quickly.
Have fun!

Haven't checked it for DVD, but for CDs Windows Moviemaker does fine, if a bit limited - and it is most likely already on your computer.

I used Camtasia for my daughters wedding. It worked great. They have a free trial for 30 days.

Thanks to everyone for the responses.

I did use 'Movie Maker' which was on my system (Vista). It did a straight forward job and that is what I was looking for...nothing too complex. I added photos and some music and wrote it to DVD discs.

Thanks!
