I've got a program called Photo DVD Maker Pro, which allows you to create excellent slideshows on DVD. It lets you choose what wipes you want from pic to pic, add a music background, choose what menu's you want and call it what you want when it shows.
Have a google for it, I got it free when it first came out and registered with the developers so I get the upgrades etc. It's really easy to use and is a very handy program, I've done them for weddings, proms, birthdays and a Jubilee party and with a printed disc and case looks very professional.
