If it's the latter then VirtualDub will do that for you if you have
your images sequentially arranged by just selecting the first image in


Yes, it's the latter, not a slide show. I see that
VirtualDub handles BMP images, which is a promising
start. I'll have to study it further. Thanks...and thanks for a useful
phrase, "DVD authoring," with which I'll
be sure to find material about the mechanics of getting
my content onto DVD.


That's just a catch-all phrase which means taking some form of animation and turning the result into something which can be burned onto DVD. I'd say most of those packages include you being able to burn the DVD also, and not having to export it as a finished edited product to your usual separate DVD burning package.

With authroing, the fun part is being able to choose your own background (still frame or animation with music), whether you can add your own animated company logo to play as soon as the DVD is inserted into a DVD player before it goes to the menu and whether to add extras.

One name which is kicked about a lot in terms of DVD Authoring is Tempgenc. <http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/taw4.html>

You could try authoring then burning to a DVD-RW to test then wipe it again.

I use VirtualDub for the more fancy stuff due to the vast range of plug-ins such as zoom to a specific spot in the frame over time, saturation, brightness and contrast, padding and resizing the image frame edges to allow for a safe-frame area rather than straight image to authoring which sometimes gets cropped around the edges.


Good luck and have fun!
