I'm really close to one of my teachers and she was recently married, as a gift to her I wanted to make her a DVD type of thing from pictures from her wedding. What I plan on doing with those pictures was making a slide show type of thing with their wedding song (Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts) playing in the background. I know it can be done because my cousin used to do that every Christmas using family pictures, it's kind of hard to explain, but I'm sure someone will know what I'm talking about. I already told me teacher I was going to do it, she's making a CD of pictures she doesn't mind me using. (I wasn't at the wedding at I needed the pictures, this was the only way to get them). So I can't really go back on it, and I can't ask my cousin because she's out of state and I have zero way of contacting her (I've already tried). So I figured I'd ask anyone here if they knew how to do it.

If not then I'm probably going to resort to something lame like how people make picture slideshows for their myspace, but I'll just find a way to use music with it.

But I'd really like someone to let me know how to make something like that. I don't care if all it does is show the pictures with music on the background saved to a CD that you can only use in the computer. I would prefer to make it a DVD of the pictures and music (so her and her husband and family can all watch it). As far as I know they don't have a home computer, then again, I don't know if they have a DVD player, but I know that her mother does. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to do that and could give me instructions (or a site) on how to do something along those lines.

Or if anyone has any better ideas on how I can do something using those pictures and their wedding song (and other cute love songs).

Thanks in advance.

Sorry about the category, it was the closest I saw that somehow went with the topic of my question.

Well, in advance, I've downloaded free trials of DVD makers like that one below me, and I worked for hours on a picture slide show, and in the end, it wouldn't let me burn it to DVD, because it was only a free trial, you need the full version to do that. So heads up.

If your computer comes with Windows Movie Maker, you can use that. That's what I use now =)

(Rating: 5) Thanks, I didn't even know there was such a thing as windows movie maker. I looked and I have it, so I guess I'll just use that.
