for my father-in-law ..
not feature laden
simple - real simple I.E. drag pictures in / make a title page / burn dvd
cheap would be good tooo.. free would be nice as well ...
/ i've used fancy ones .. Producer gold etc/..
to complex - it would blow him away if he saw so many menus ... & to many steps ..
also preferably not an off shore company // the main ones that appear on searches have flooded Google under several names
all originate from China // not interested in sending my CC number there (they also have piped up in recent discussions here ..)

| Picasa FREE from Google...you can add music, title page, pan and crop transitions available etc...I think it creates a wmv file or you can burn to DVD |

| IrfanView can make a slideshow, but I haven't tried it so I don't know about features (or lack thereof). |

Sorry - my father inlaw has a PC / to switch systems would not be viable
background - he took slides .. lots & lots of slides / but he is nearly convinced (after seeing a small slide show on the TV) that he can work with digital
we spec'ed out a camera / purchased it & just bought him a dvd writer
& now hes been on trips & has a pile of pictures ...
( he does not want to show the pics on the monitor - he wants it on the tv ..)
so now just looking for the software ...
