You can also use Photoshop to create slideshows.

It's such a popular task that many major software makers have gotten into the game.

hey guys - i kno w all that - there are many ways - and i'm not asking for general info
the question is "what is the easiest way to make a slideshow for TV"
also post a guide how (if it's easy - it won't even need a link)

ah paul - that's more like it
any more to come guys ?

so it seems movieMaker is the best?
no others?
also - the client  is  dutch speaking, so i have to find guides in dutch - or explain it all

I don't think Impress needs too much explaining. You can insert slides via the Menu, "Insert", "Slide", then again "Insert", "Image", "From File".

To insert the sound, select "Slide Show", "Slide Transition", and then a panel will open on the right side. Here under "Modify Transition" select "Sound", then "Other Sound", and you can then browse to the mp3 file or whatever it is. Then enable "Loop until next sound". Don't select "Apply to all slides", or the sound will start from the beggining after each slide.

Under "Slide Show Settings" you can select which display to use for the show (useful if you have two displays, one the normal PC display you are working on, and the 2nd the TV, on which you want the slide show to play). With "F5" the show is started.

now at least i have 2 to test

i hope there are more to come - easy ones !

For TV
Nobus if his TV supports a USB stick
Just drop all photos onto a USB Stick plug into TV, using TV remote control select Apps or USB stick from the TV menu then select Photos or Pictures from the menu which gives a choice of movie music pictures.
Select Pictures and then it will show the drive letter select that and the you should get a list of all the pictures just press play on the TV remote. It will play them like a slideshow.
That is the easiest way no messing around with slideshows or burning to CD
USB Flash Stick

Nobus.
Moviemaker usually burns to DVD using windows 7 inbuilt DVD Maker  when you choose save movie for DVD
this will make a DVD video playable on any DVD player over the TV
A DVD Video consists of a vobs and ifo and bup files you know a proper DVD, you would require a blank TDK or Verbatum  DVD-R  with a burn speed of x4
as you have cdburnerxp how did you plan to burn this slideshow movie made in windows moviemaker to CD ? using CDBurnXP?
as a CD output is either a VCD "video CD" or a data CD?
CDBurnerXP is not a DVD authoring application so you'll need to use a 3rd party tool.

As you have windows 7 look in your start menu all programs you should see window DVD maker
Once you have created your slideshow in in WMM go to file save movie for DVD
WMM will process your video first like make a backup once it's completed DVD Maker will open then you need to put the DVD in your rom and setup the menu for your DVD
 I'll post you guide how to setup windows DVD maker if you wish to have a menu
