The first ones I played with doing, but never finished were some slideshow stuff. Then I was backing up shows from my Replay to DVD. Got bored of that, well, the seasons ended and no new material, plug a HD crash and the loss of my notes. (BACK-UP, print off, any notes you make. Notes are really important! I make judiciuos use of bookmarks in Firefox. If anyone would like, I can post up some of my resources.) Currently I'm doing my initial project. Scanning family photos to make a DVD for family members for Xmas. I've got about 400 pics scanned in so far, covering the 80s and 90s. Still probably have 3-4x that much to go (50s - 70s). And a search and rescue mission for two albums that are MIA. And I'm scanning at a lowly 2.5 pics per minute via a bash script I wrote. Talk about small use of video. I've got a DVD that's about 24 minutes long containing 245 images, @ 5 sec per image w/ 1 sec crossfade transition. It's taking up a whopping 356MB. I think every picture myself, and my family have taken will fit on a regular DVD! I'm using a LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-812S. Patrick
