Photo sort

I have been intensely working to get my photos sorted. I have made backup copies of all of Kt's photos from birth to the present and I had a go at making a photo slideshow DVD using Windows DVD maker.

It allows you to have a title page with a play button and scene selection buttons just like a normal DVD and then it plays your photos as a slideshow and you have the option to choose your own background music or how the photos change from one to the next, how long each photo is shown for etc.

I have made 4 DVD's in all this past week approx 6 hours worth of stuff from the last 6 years worth of photos!

Last year I also made backup copies of all the video uni took of her while his video camera still worked.

I am going to create a photo box to store all our DVD's, photo CDs etc and put them with our photo albums so everything is all organized.

I will also put in CD's and DVD's that others have given us eg Wedding photos etc.

I am having a bit of trouble with backing up and keeping video taken by my digital camera. It is saved by Kodak software as a Quicktime movie and quicktime is not compatible with windows photo editing software.

I tried changing my MOV files to WMV files which are compatible with windows but the quality of the resulting video was unwatchable.

I will attempt to make a Cd or DVD of my MOV files using Kodak Easyshare software and if this does not work I will have to try some other avenue ... perhaps AVI files.

It would be lovely to be able to have my photos and videos on one CD or DVD, but I will have to see if that is achievable with Easyshare or not
