DVDStyler

With the improvements in technology regarding digital cameras, digital images have become extremely popular. Nowadays, it's not difficult to get a cheap digital camera that can create astonishing photos that a few years ago were only a dream. But a great photo can lose its glow if it's viewed in bad conditions. That means displaying every photo using the Windows default image viewer. Using the slideshow feature in Windows doesn't fix this problem, as this feature is extremely limited in features and options. A much better idea would be using a specialized software for displaying images. One such program is DVDStyler.

Besides displaying photos as a slideshow, the program also allows adding video and audio files and even subtitles and allows them to be combined together. DVDStyler is easy to install and supports almost any Windows version, ranging from XP to Windows 7. It takes up about 20 MB of hard disk space, which is not much considering the program's features. It doesn't have special system requirements. An average computer and a DVD writer are enough for running the software in best conditions.

The interface of DVDStyler allows selecting from one of the many menu styles. Every style can be customized and the user can also add his own photos as a menu background. After completing this step, all that's left to do is adding the desired media elements into the program. These include video, audio and graphical files and even subtitles. DVDStyler supports a wide range of video and audio formats.

Buttons can also be added to DVDs, for an easier navigation. One can choose from the many types of buttons included in the program.

After adding media elements to the program, it's time to burn the contents to a blank disc. The program offers the possibility to preview the DVD before burning and also to create an image file, for burning it later. Besides that, the quality settings for video and audio can be thoroughly customized. The burning speed can be customized.
