reception past -present dvd

[sunsh1ne]

I am planning on having a dvd play during dinner with pics and videos of us from babies untill the wedding. I want music also. I just lve this idea and i think the guests would love it. I was woundering if anyone has done this and what company they used?

we did something like that, but we edited it ourselves which was cool b/c it let us to 2 editing jobs...

sorry I'm not more help! good luck...

STVS video will do something like that for you... I am not sure of the prices or details though.

This is actually very easy to do with Microsoft Power Point.

I have done this for a few friends and myself, and it saved us a bunch of money. The people we looked into were around $150.00. But we were able to do 100 pictures, three songs, and it turned out beautifully.......in two hours! I am not a computer genius and neither is DF and we made it very easily with no problems! I would mess around with it yourself, before spending the money. If it becomes to complicated, i would then contract it out. Just my $00.02! Good Luck!

That is what I was thinking of doing, but then what do you do with it for the reception? Do you save it to a disk? Do they have projection screens? Do you have to make it into slides?
Thanks!!

We burned ours to a disk and it is playable on a DVD player which can be projected to a screen.

So did you burn it on a CD-R or a DVD-R? If it's a DVD-R, can you do that if your computer doesn't have a DVD burner?? Thanks!

I believe it was a CD-R, but i will have to double check! lol.......I am so not a techie!!

I have used a really great program by Ulead. You can put pics on it and music to make a slideshow. It also lets you do all sorts of different transitions. The part I liked about it was that it allows you to make a DVD that has a menu screen to start with. I used it to make DVDs for my family a couple years ago and put all sorts of family pics on it.

That sounds very neat! Is it something you download online? Is there a cost for it? Thank you

I bought mine at Office Depot... It's been a while since I bought it so I can't totally remember how much it was. I say it was $80 but my DF says we paid $50. It was totally worth it though because there's so many features. You can even take other DVD clips and add them or edit DVD footage that you've shot. It's pretty easy to work with too. HTH!
