[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1009420"] Not without spending a ton of money. It sounds like what you want to do is create a slideshow comprising (altered) photos and movie clips, then put this on a DVD. If that's the idea, then this is quite easy to do using Keynote (part of iWork). You create a Keynote slideshow (with all the backgrounds, captions and clips you want), tweak it to your heart's delight, then save it as a movie. Then bring the movie into iDVD and create a DVD. This will give you a DVD that will work on most DVD players, but will play like a movie; you can pause it using the remote, but you can't use the remote as a "next slide please" pointer. The original Keynote presentation can do that, but you can only play that on a computer. If you want a DVD that will work on ALL dvd players, you'll have to create your own "master" DVD and take that to a professional DVD duplication service to have copies made that are not "home-burned." Long story short: home-burned DVDs use dye changes to make 1s and 0s the DVD player or computer can read; commercial DVD use tiny pits in the surface. This is why some DVD players can read home-burned DVDs and some can't. [/QUOTE]
