This is more for pc's than Macs

I've played with this too awhile back and I'm ready to pick it up again.  I used still photos that told a story in sequence - same as any still pics I guess.
Tried several progs to make slide shows  and add music/sounds - however lost all my notes I made while trying them and my memory is attrocious.

 I tried:
 Nero Vision Express
Flip Album    www.flipalbum.com/
Powerpoint
Movie Maker

They all worked more or less so it's a matter of what xttras one needs.
 
Nero Vision did fine but I recall having some issues with recording it as svcd. Weird since the parent Nero is burning software.

Flip Album which can turn pages is kinda cute and will save avis but I kept on searching for added effects.

PowerPoint   and  MS Movie Maker both also make slide shows with sound.  Movie Maker comes with WinXP and you can overlay animated titles.

I guess it's back to try-outs again for me too as this is about all I recall right now.  Wouldn't mind reading some more input from others either.
