converting a slide show to video

[kristenn_huffman]

I would like to make a slide show and convert it to a VCR tape. Can

anyone please tell me the best and cheapest route to take in doing

so. I have tried Dazzle software and hardware, which were

completely unsuccessful. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kristenn

I have the ATI Radeon "all in wonder" card for video editing. The software it came with (Ulead Videostudio) allows me to place a still image into a video sequence and specify the time that it is shown on screen. I would guess this is how you could do it as well. The graphics card has an output to return the "movie" back to tape. This movie would be your slide show.

 

I am not familiar with Dazzle, maybe you can do it with that program as well.

There are many slideshows apps available that aren't too pricy.

Liveslideshow from totallyhip.com is about $50 and allows

decent (but not great) control. If precise timing is not too

important you can just use Quicktime pro (for mac or pc) and it's

$30. With either you will wind up with a QT export that you have

to get back on video. I have no experience with the dv bridge, but

for a little more than the price of a converter you could get a

digital 8 camcorder that you can hook up to your computer and

export the video to that and from there to VHS tape. If you are

using a mac imovie works great as well.
