- have a collection of over 200 photos taken on a recent trip to Italy. Can I
create a slideshow of these photos, set up a transition from photo-to-photo,
assign on-screen display times to each photo, save the show to DVD, and have
it run automatically on my DVD player/TV? If yes, is there a good reference
for the procedure to put the show together?

I would leave PowerPoint out of the mix if your ultimate goal is a DVD.

See Convert presentations to VHS or DVD video
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00156.htm

Most of the DVD-authoring software packages will do these kind of photo
things easily.

About the animation and music
This program supports the conversion of most transitions, text animations,
graphics animations in PowerPoint Music can also be well preserved in sync
with the slides.
For better conversion results, it is recommended to add the music after
conversion with the" add background music " fearure in the program.

Note that ,if your PowerPoint file is too complex,pls choose 'Record volume'
in the advance setting,and do not make other noise sound when converting,for
