Back in the dim recesses of the last century I did sound slide shows using a 4-track reel-to-reel tape recorder, a 4-in 2-out mixer and a Wollensak sound/slide sync cassette recorder. This setup allowed me to do a narration, seamlessly fade in/fade out alternating tracks of music, and precisely control how long each slide was on the screen.
I’m the process of digitizing some of my nearly 40-year collection of slides. Presently I have two set scanned, one consisting of 31 slides the other 131, and would like to convert them into slide shows.
I would like the finished project to be a DVD that can be shared with family on their home DVD player/TV. It would have a menu to choose which of the two slide shows to view. I would like to use various pieces of music in each show and the transition from one piece to the next should be seamless. And I would like the ability when making the show to vary how long each slide will be on the screen. There won’t be any narration.
So, back to the title of this post: Which iApp should I use, iMovie or iDVD? I haven’t used either before. I have a Dual G5, iApps 4 and also Toast.
Thanks for reading this through and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
