Slideshow/photo album software

[Prelude]

Hi all
Not sure if i've placed this thread in the right forum, however I was wondering if anyone could recommend software to produce slideshows/photoalbums with music, transitions and that allow for conversion of output to say ipods and YouTube and playable onto DVD and VCD players?

Do you want something to just flip through pictures sequentially, one at a time?

Do you want multiple images, timing control, with video output?

For the first case, you could use something like idvd or proshow.
For the second, you probably want video editing software - kino, imovie, or similar. I know there is a lot of information about how to get from final cut to tape/dvd/ipod/youtube online - though it usually involves the more expensive version.

I use Proshow Gold for dvd slideshows. It is very good.

Showit Web is the best product out there for web-based shows and is a great productivity tool. But it doesn't let you create DVD's etc. without paying per DVD.

Click on the software link in my sig for a solution I've put together that brings Showit Web and ProShow together.

Cheers.
