I need help creating VCD full of photos.
I created VCD with app called VCD Builder but i need to add sound files, like mp3 files so it will play as long as slide show plays.
How can i create VCD with photos and music in background?

Thank you

Doesn't iPhoto let you do all of this?

No, i cant do this in iPhoto

I know you can make a slide show just like you want and I know you can burn a CD with photos on it, what does it burn if not the slideshow?

[Floyd]

If i click BURN on the album, it burns CD of my my album and then mounts inside iPhoto, so anyone with iPhoto can watch it, but its not creating VCD slideshow

I think it's just an archive CD if burnt through iPhoto. I can't find any info either way though, it would be cool for it to make a music VCD picture slideshow

I'm pretty sure you can add a soundtrack to the video file in Quicktime

I tried already, what i did in iPhoto i exported to Quicktime movie with sound, then i converted with toast to vcd mpg file and burned like vcd and quality was like crap all my photos was bad, the only thing was good is music

iMovie!!! You'll have to make it by hand, but when you're done you should have a really nice set up, you can add titles, individual frame transisions, and you can pull audio right from itunes, and photos right from iphoto. Now you can save it in many different formats. If you can't save as an mpeg that can be directly burned, save it as something else in a super high quality, then convert that into a vcd. That should work.

or save it with no compression, so it's only compressed once, by Toast

I did this too, and when Toast did conversion i checked that file in Quicktime and it was like crap , very bad

VCD is a fixed resoulution, 320x?. Instead, I would try to make something like a Kodak picture CD. Most DVD players and computers can play this.

I'm not sure how to do this. Some googleing should help though.
