Good review Mark. I might pick it up, since my current software to burn photos on DVD does not permit comments. To be all fair I should see if they have a new version. How big can the comments be? Do they a have limit on the number of characters you can have in a comment?

Magix Photos on CD & DVD 2. I purchased this from QVC. and it does everything I want it to except burn to CD. I cannot get it to record. I am using Windows 98se I have an Adeptec burner, and easy CD creator 5 Platinum. I never have any trouble with either. When I press burn CD. it goes through the first three stages, then on the forth it says its not fully compatable and packs in. Any suggestions. If I can get it to work it will be super. This programe it a replacement for a previous one. I thought it was falty. So it must be in the compatibility side. Cliff.

Thanks for the nice article, mARK

After eading yoiur article, I tried the product (Magix photo story) and was pleasantly surprised. one major problem - I can't figure out how to email the show. all we keep hearing is cd / dvd. you mentioned something about posting a show to your relatives. how did you do that?

I have 2 others iam evaluating 3d Story & 2.5 of Brodbund Photo Show any comments on the others in relation?

thanks alot lou ledda

Hi Lou, I actually meant physically post CDs to them, not by email. I don't recall being able to email them from within the program, although I'm sure you could zip the file up and send it that way.

Magix Photos is the only software of this kind that I've reviewed.

Dear sir
I have the program befor this one but find after making a disc and playing it onto my telivision the quality is not as clear as the photo`s. Has there been any inprovement in this program.
I have used an evaluation of ProShow Gold and would have liked to compare the two of them I find ProShow Gold to give good reproduction on the telivision.
Regards.

Well, the quality will definitely degrade slightly when viewed on a TV (compared with a monitor). I can't really say if there has been any improvement or not in Photos on CD & DVD 2.0.

A rather flaky bit of software, it crashed my computer a couple of times. I added some music to the timeline, but then decided I wanted to remove it, couldnt find out how to do this. The manual is not very comprehensive.
After hours of manipulating I finally managed to burn my masterpiece to vcd. The quality was good.
The interface not very intuitive though for a beginner. And as i said the manual could go a lot further in the help side .

Although i agree to your review,it is a very good program, one downside is that it can only put 99 pictures on a dvd.
If i am doing holiday or wedding photos i sometime have 150 photos and i would like to have them all on one dvd, any idea?

Bought this software from QVC some months ago, and decided to use it today. Have spent most of this afternoon trying to get my picture files to open up. I've watched the tutorials a couple of times and they are not really very helpful. I can start the programme, give the photo show a name and close the dialogue box. Then the problem starts;I'm limited in the files I can access. For example,if I try to open 'my documents' 'My Webs' appears. Cannot access 'my pictures'. Can you help?

Re-comment 10, posted this afternoon, I have finally managed to gain access to my picture files. Now sure what the problem was, but it has resolved itself, and glad to say I am now able to work with the software -Magix Photos on CD & DVD 2.0
Thank-you

I have been trying out the 5.0 e-version for the last week and have been seriously aggravated by it. It promises to be a useful tool but it is SO SLOW and I have never had so many freezes nor crashes since I used Windows95. I doubt that it is my PC which is the culprit as it should have enough resources to handle the programme (new with 1GB RAM on a Pentium4 and 250GB HDD).
The instruction that come with it are typically jargonistic which is not very useful if the system itself is not intuitive (which it isn't).
The Help team have just responded to my cry for help and run a Syscheck on my system. If anything of interest comes of it I'll let you know.
In the meantime, I'll hold of purchasing this particular programme.

thanks for your introductions about the software package from FastTrak Software. i think the features that it can incorporate photos into professional-looking slideshows is pretty good!
i also have a tool about photo dvd show slide- Wondershare Photo2DVD Studio
