If your computer comes with a built-in DVD burner, or if you are planning on buying an external DVD burner, instead of just using it to store file backups, you can create slideshows of your photos complete with music. A couple of hints:

* Simple subjects work best. TVs may not accurately display complex photos with lots of detail.

* For the most compatibility amongst DVD players, burn on DVD-R's. Do not use rewritable media.

* Software programs you may wish to consider that help with DVD creation (listed for informational purposes only):
