Im after software that will create a family dvd of both all my jpg photos and family clips (avi/mp4) onto one dvd, with as many options as possible to design the final menu? I have tried 3 free/trial programs out, but they are no where near as good as they should be :-

EffectMatrix "free dvd photo slideshow" - looks good, but has not been optimised- so its far too slow, even on a fast machine, to use comfortably-cpu is constantly at 100%-but then the program is freeware.

Anvsoft PhotoDVD Maker - it works, but the output looks terrible, and each menu chapter is always labelled 1,2,3,4 - if I have 8 chapters and click to view the next page, the following options are again parts 1,2,3,4, with their new names, which will just confuse! Also, names that are too long go off the screen, so its nowhere near as professional enough.

VSO Software PhotoDVD - looks great and very pro output.. but does not accept videos, only still images/photos :(




So are there any better programs out there that will accept both jpg and (mainly) mp4 to create my family dvd? I would like the program to be able to add music, choose how long each image is on the screen for, with a random effect as each photo changes to the next, but thats it. Any recommendations? thanks
