i want to put some photos of a family hol onto a dvd or cd so it will play as a slideshow in a dvd player, anyone reccommend any freebie software that can do this with decent quality results? From past experience though 'free' and 'decent results' dont often go together!!

I'll probably only need to use it once or twice hence i'm reluctant to spend a lot on it!

cheers

i tried windows movie maker but the final image quality wasnt very good wheni played it back on the tv - Much worse than if i stream from the laptop or plug the camera straight into the telly. Trying to make one for my mum n dad as they arent very good with techy stuff or computers, so they could just put the dvd in and see the pics of the grandchildren on the telly.

Maybe i need to play around with the settings on moviemaker, but i saved it as high quality Pal... althogh there were a lot of other ones i could have tried. No dvd option though, just save to CD or as a wmv / avi file for computer playback.
