Slideshow from a DVD

I have 4 DVDs each with about 300 images on them from hubby's trip to the Holy Land. The lady that took the photos distributed DVDs to everyone. The slide show will work on my old Dell but I am not able to find a way to get them to play on my Mac. The DVD player says it is not compatible. The images do come up in Preview but I have to click on each image separately. With so many images on each DVD, it just isn't feasible to do this. Is there a way to play these in slideshow platform on the Mac?

Open them in Preview, so that they are all listed in the drawer on the right (By selecting them all in the Finder and then opening then with Preview) and go the the View menu and choose Slideshow.

For a more fine controlled slideshow, you can import them into iPhoto and running a slideshow from there.

If you can open the dvd window in Finder, select all the photos, right click and select Slideshow.
