Thanks so much Shakran!!!
Yes, you understood exactly what I'm trying to do. The main reason that I wanted to use Adobe Premiere Pro is that I wanted to have control over the amount of time that each song is played for. Other programs give you very little control over that aspect (ie, you either have to have the pictures show for the exact duration of the song or have the song cut off abruptly, neither of which are ideal).
And yes, the main point is that I wanted to make a home video if you will of photographs (which are all digitized and on my computer) to play on my parents DVD player. I didn't want them to have to watch it on their computer but rather have the option to play it on the tv.
Shakran - I understood most of everything that you posted. The only part that got confusing was the 'authoring' of the dvd. I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that and how will I know if Premiere will recognize my burner or not? I have just Premiere Pro (not Pro 2)
I'm going to go home tonight and play around a bit more with it, but you've been a HUGE help so far, thank you!
Oh and the other thought I had was an inquiry as to whether I can create a menu and/or chapters within this dvd. Does Adobe Premiere Pro have that capability?
And while I'm at it (haha) I have one other question. When I'm editing my photos in photoshop - to what ratio/size should I put my photos so that they won't be abnormally cropped when viewed on a standard tv? I was told a 4/3 ratio but I'm not sure how to achieve that in photoshop??
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!!!
