[Electronics-Talk] Free Accessible DVD Maker

[Annette Carr]

You can use Microsoft PowerPoint to create a slide show of pictures.  Each
slide can contain 1 or more photos, as well as text to support the photos.
The finished slide show can be set up to advance automatically.  The slide
show can play on a computer and be set to continuous looping so that once it
is started , it does not stop until you want it to.  I do believe that a
completed PowerPoint slide show/presentation can be saved in a way that does
not require the launching of Microsoft PowerPoint.  This would allow you to
save it on a CD (not a DVD) and share copies with others.  You would need to
test this concept out to be sure it really does work.  It has been a while
since I have done this, I am not sure if it is still available.  

As far as accessibility with using PowerPoint, it is not bad, but there is a
learning curve as it is not like Microsoft Word.

Another option is to copy all of the photos to a new folder.  Rename each
photo so that they are re-arranged in the folder in the order you want them
to be display.  I recommend for the renaming to just add a number or letter
to the beginning of each file name.  If you decide to use numbers, be sure
to use 01, 02, 03, etc. if you have 99 photos or less.  If you have 100 or
more you will need to use 001, 002, 003...010, 011, 012...020, 021, etc.
This list of photos can then be loaded into any of the electronic picture
frames, or might be able to be displayed automatically in a continuous loop
in some type of Microsoft photo viewer..  


HTH,
Annette

hello Lanie,

windows movie maker works on windows 7 but not sure about windows 10.
You might want to try that. Given that dvds are visual, I'm not sure
accessible and dvd maker fit together. Jaws cannot read graphics. Maybe you
have some vision like me, and still use a screen reader.
What program was used to create a slide show? I'd like to do that with
pictures too.

I think my blind friend may have created a dvd. I'll see if I can ask him
today what worked.

HTH,
Ashley

Hi. I apologize if this is off-topic on some of the mailing lists I'm
sending this to, but I need any help I can get. I haven't posted much or at
all on some of the mailing lists I'm sending this to, but I want to try to
be more involved and have a question. My mom wants me to create a slideshow
of pictures for one of my sisters and burn it to a DVD. She just asked me to
do this last night, so I don't have much time. I know how to create the
slideshow and convert it to a video, but I don't know of a accessible DVD
maker that works on Windows 10. Does anyone know of one or have a suggestion
for one I should try? If so, please get back to me as soon as you can. Also,
please forward this to any people or you think might be able to help and any
relevant mailing lists. Thanks.
