You could do that. Most people do. However, you would be limited to DVD resolution (NTSC = 720 x 480). If you make it as an EXE, you can set the resolution to match the maximum capability of the projector, which is likely to be higher.

Not if I had a choice! The player on most laptops is noisy and the resolution on a DVD is much lower than even a cheap projector will give you. Yes, it will probably work, no I wouldn't do it that way for that purpose. The only reason I use a DVD is because you want to do it on a TV and don't have access to a Windows computer to run an EXE. For watching with the family in front of the TV, DVD. For a group, an EXE and a projector would be my choice every time (but I'd have a DVD with me too 'cause I like having Plan B!).

I have almost gotten the show to where I want it, so I haven't had a chance to check out how to burn it for a DVD and TV watching yet. You just go to Create, and then what are the steps ( or choices) for the best quality and compatibility for most players? Are there different choices?

I also want the music synced to the show so that it matches the length of the slides, and for it to loop.

I'm working on a show for a 2010 grad so I was thrilled to see your sample and the additional explanation you provided about backgrounds and frames. Thanks so much for sharing your example and being so helpful. This is really going to help me out.

here is a little show I just threw together for an example for you. I hope it helps. I know it is overwhelming at first but you'll get it.
