Wedding gift -DVD
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.

No need to rate me. Just regurgitating information others have already told you.
I made a DVD of my wedding photos just like you are wanting to do with my wedding songs on the windows movie maker. Works great and is very simple to do once you figure it out. (And it's not hard at all to figure out)

Hey a great program to use on your computer (if you have a windows) is windows movie maker. Its easy and has step by step instructions to make a movie. almost all windows has them, you just got look for it (its like a default program) type in your search for programs box and you should find it. using in a few times will be good and then you can become pro with it. hope i helped :D and oh i think it nice you wanna do this for your teacher. l8r

If you use windows XP you should have windows movie maker in start>all programs>windows movie player. Ok, so open that up and import all the pictures you want to use. Right click each picture after it's imported and click "add to storyboard". Then right click a picture and select "add effect" Click "ease in" or "ease out" and add 3-5 of those to each picture you add an effect to. Don't ease in/out on every picture. Don't add both in and out on a single picture. After you're done with the pictures, select "import audio" and import the song. Right click the song and "add to storyboard. If the pictures are longer than the song, add the song again(so it loops). Then go to file>save as movie file and save it on your computer, this will take a very long time. The file is now saved wherever you saved it, as a WMV file(if you didn't change that). If you put this file on a CD it can be opened on any computer and played back. To get it to play on a DVD, you need an application, try this search:
Have fun!
PS, if you're not running windows find an alternative application with a search like this:

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 =)
