"from a company with reliable website and support)?"
Ouch.
Till recently I was using Sonic MyDVD (versions 5 and earlier) to build a very large family slide album. I liked its simplicity. Discs would run on a DVD player, with multiple levels of folders in the menus. It was not necessary (ie was optional) to add music and to automate slideshows - I preferred viewers to be able to browse the folders manually at their own speed, though they could just leave it to run automatically.
It always had some minor bugs, but I got used to them. Unfortunately, I have had to dump it: Its recent so-called "update" to v6 might just as well have been a rival's program: it was not compatible with my old projects. In pretending to be compatible it permanently altered those projects so they became unusable with ANY version of MyDVD. All I have left is the DVD discs I made with it, which were a work in progress... so I now need to start from the beginning (yes, I do have backups of the jpgs themselves).
Sonic's website helpline was quite USELESS, swapping from English language to asian hieroglyphics at random so you often did not know which button to push! Fortunately their sales staff gave me a refund on my update (but not for the earlier version I can no longer use with confidence...). They insisted that v6 would be reliable with any NEW project created, but I do not like dealing with a firm which misrepresents a new program as being an "upgrade".
However, I am finding that all the alternative brands of slide album software seem to insist on producing a lavish "slideshow" rather than a browsable album. Or producing an "album" that is linear in time sequence - like a book - rather than with the multiple layers of folders a DVD will normally support. Am I missing something? Can anyone recommend a simple DVD slide program with nested folders (like MyDVD but from a company with reliable website and support)?
