I just downloaded a software called MySlideShow Gold that was $35 and I love it. I created a DVD of our recent Disney trip with my favorite Disney music - Spectromagic - as the background music. It allowed me to add captions and choose from TONS of fade effects, etc. It was very easy to use, also. My family and I will enjoy watching for years to come!
I also have PhotoStory, which I love, but I couldn't figure out how to burn the DVD's once I made them. I have created a DVD of my son's first soccer game, made DVD's as party favors for my daughter's 7th b'day slumber party -I have really enjoyed it. But MySlideShow gives me a few more options and considering you can pay much more than that for someone else to create your DVD without the personal touch that you would use, I felt like $35 was a bargain!
