Photo Slideshow Software Review

Review of Best DVD Photo Slideshow Software #7 from TonTenReviews.com
--Wondershare dvd slideshow maker
Editor's Review from TopTenReview.comEasily transform your old photo album into a visually stunning photo production with DVD Slideshow Builder. With a fair share of features and help support - not to mention some impressive results - this product by Wondershare Software shows its true strength in its wonderfully easy-to-use format.

Ease of Use: Excellent

This is the category where DVD Slideshow Builder really shines. With two main sections—one for background music and the other for photos and videos—this software allows you to easily insert images, music and videos and quickly arrange them into just about any order you can imagine.

Design Features: Very Good

DVD Slideshow Builders offers many of the features we looked for in great slideshow software, including the ability to add videos, pictures, and music to your slideshows, edit graphics, preview your slideshow and create auto-run CDs. But it's missing a few that we find necessary, hot keys.
Also, you can only save your slideshows onto CD and DVD; this software does not provide online sharing or allow you to save your slideshows as a screensaver. (This function provided by their another software Wondershare Flash Slideshow Builder)

Input/Output: Very Good

Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder provides for DVD and CD publication, but lacks additional publication options like web, email and iPod. Also, its importing abilities are confined to libraries stored on your computer, requiring additional uploading and reformatting for scanners, digital cameras and other devices.

Help/Support: Very Good

In the areas that Wondershare Software supports DVD Slideshow Builder—including FAQs, email support and a customer support line—it does a fantastic job, but we feel that a online user manual may be more useful nowadays.

Slideshow Quality: Excellent

DVD Slideshow Builder's picture quality is impressive, with music syncing options providing for easy and intuitive design. However, the finished product simply didn't provide the same level of professionalism and quality found with the top-rated products.
Summary: In short, DVD Slideshow Builder is a good software program if you are looking to make simple, sharp-looking photo slideshows. In addition, by adding more features, providing online help support and a higher-quality final product, it could be the best DVD photo slideshow software at its reasonable prize.

Happy Earth Day - Protect Our Earth

Earth Day History

Earth Day - a day to celebrate the natural wonders of our planet. In 1963, former Senator Gaylord Nelson began to worry about our planet. Senator Nelson knew that our world was getting dirty and that many of our plants and animals were dying. He wondered why more people weren't trying to solve these problems. He talked to other lawmakers and to the President. They decided that the President would go around the country and tell people about these concerns. He did, but still not enough people were working on the problem. Then, in 1969, Senator Nelson had another idea. He decided to have a special day to teach everyone about the things that needed changing in our environment. He wrote letters to all of the colleges and put a special article in Scholastic Magazine to tell them about the special day he had planned.

On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. People all over the country made promises to help the environment. Everyone got involved and since then, Earth Day has spread all over the planet. People all over the world know that there are problems we need to work on and this is our special day to look at the planet and see what needs changing.
