I asked this question a long time ago but never really got a final answer to the question. Now that I have returned from holliday with lots of photos this is something I need to go ahead with.

My trial version of proshow gold has expired and before I buy I have one question.

Is it possible to create a dvd with more than one slideshow?

Because we might as well face it, no matter how brilliant we think our photos is not many are interested in watching hours of photo slideshow

So my question is following, is it possible to create a dvd divided into following structure:

Menu: Orlando
___Submenu: 1996
______Slideshow: Disney World 1
______Slideshow: Disney World 2
______Slideshow: Seaworld
___Submenu: 1998
______Slideshow: Universal
______Slideshow: Seaworld
Menu: London
.
.
.
etc

If proshow gold is not capable of this which other dvd slideshow creator program is?

I'd use JAlbum to make the web before I burned the DVD. It's free & has a slideshow function built in.
http://jalbum.net/
It will generate thumbnails, build your webpages and link to either the original files or resized copies, & if you need it it will upload to the host server for you. Just point it to the directory where your files are located and choose an output directory. Very easy to use. Lots of different page designs, & forum support too.
Try the "Vertical" skin with the Black.css "Style" for a clean album that doesn't get between your work & the viewer.

I've had it do menus of shows, but I don't know if it does nested menus. I'd suggest emailing their support people, they'll tell you right off. Do post and let us know what the answer is. It's a great program btw, i've just used the demo but i'll buy it some time soon :)
