I also want to add comments, anecdotes, titles, filmclips etc., in fact make a sort of family history show. PowerPoint would be ideal for what I want to do but this will not work on a TV. Has anyone done this? What sort of file do I save it all as and how do I get the DVD player to display an automatic show using pre-set timings? Films are stored on DVDs so surely there is some sort of software I can use to make my own film of stills and video clips on my computer that will then run on a DVD player.
