Thanks Jan. Cool, if and when I should decide to go Linux.
Meanwhile, how about some MS-XP program that does accept
an unlimited amount of jpg and or bmp pix from the computer HD
and fills DVD-R's full, prompts for the next empty DVD disk till
source on the HD is exhausted etc.... such that these full DVD's
then can be played on a DVD player that is hooked to the TV,
and can be played as an **automatic slideshow** with adjustable
presentation time (without clicking from pix to pix)?
Thanks, hanson
