Sorry Bernard, you are of course right,Mike, I sort out my batch of photographs on the laptop (put them in the order I want) then download them onto a CD it will finalise on laptop. I then take the CD and play it on domestic DVD player, it will appear as a slide show. I run a lead from my hi fi or ipod to the DVD recorder red and White, I run yellow lead from DVD player to DVD recorder. I have my music list in order, hit record in DVD recorder and run music. It is simple enough and I get great results.
