I am going to be making a family memorable video, what software should I use?

Question by Wireless: I am going to be making a family memorable video, what software should I use?
I would like to make a very professional slideshow video or some sort of a movie out of family pictures, I would also like to put it on a dvd so I can give it to all my family members. Is there a software that does this job and to also make it look very nice, I would also like to add music with it? So please if you can tell me what software would be best for this. Thank you in advance for you help. 🙂

Nero PhotoShow is one of the best slideshow software available. You can download a free trial.

Ulead cd and dvd picture show 4 is also highly recommended.

Roxio’s PhotoSuite would be another alternative, however Roxio does not match Nero’s popularity.

Windows PhotoStory 3 is a free alternative if you have XP.

Windows Movie Maker is another free choice, which is not all that bad, although there are many more features in the above choices.
