photo show edtiting

Guys,
I have a lot of photos that i want to make into a slideshow and i want so set music to them to run in the background.

Is there any standard bit of software for this?

I've used PowerPoint for this but there's probably something better

windows movie maker can do that easy enough. quite a large file size though. power point can do it too, though i'm not entirely sure how you set the track to run all the way through and not just on one particular slide. should be easy enough, but i remember fighting with it a bit a few years back. my dad has done it with powerpoint though, so it def can be done

Not sure if it will use a background track but Google Picasa 3 makes great slide shows which will also play on a DVD player.

actually, whats it for? is there any specific timing needs to be done on it?
ie are you emailing it, and need certain photos to come up at particular points in the song? or just something to be played on a projector when people come into a meeting at work, and the music is just so the room isn't quiet?

if its the 2nd one, put all the photos in one folder, and on windows, one of the options down the side is 'slideshow' then just play a cd in the cd drive with media player

Thanks guys,

Photostory is great, if not a little slow in processing the story. That said it may be the size of the images and the basic graphics card!
