I found that this product does not work with VISTA operating software, therefore I can't use it.

Fun program bad tech support.
I had read an article on DVD slide shows in Popular Photography andthought it would be fun to try. I had picked OnDVD because of the price, if I didn't like it it wouldn't be a loss. The program was easy to use and fun, untill I tried to burn the cd.I had problems burning it on a cd, I tried to call the tech support, which is not toll free and stayed on hold for 20 minutes then gave up. I faxed Dazzle and had no responce. They have a chat forum which others had the same problems I did. I will probably go with something like "DVD PICTURE SHOW" next time which seems to have a good reviews. I guess I got what I paid for.

Does pretty much what you need
I picked this up because I was looking for software to make slideshows on cd that I could play on my dvd player. I have Windows ME and relatively recent DVD players (2 in the house) and it has been working flawlessly.The software is easy-to-use, I literally installed it and made my first cd in 5 minutes by dragging a dir full of jpgs into it, selecting a mp3 for background music and telling it to "burn". It auto-timed the pictures to end when the song ended.It uses the VCD style of disk format, where if you look at the disk contents you see a .exe file and a .dll file. So you must have a DVD player capable of reading that type of disk.When actually playing the cd, it auto-sizes the pictures to full screen and allows the remote control to stop, pause and play. I wish it would have allowed a reverse and fastforward as well and took off one star because it doesn't.It also doesn't seem to have any ability to group slides into different sets, have an opening menu and jump to a set - although its possible I haven't found that option yet.All-in-all a pretty cheap and easy to use software that does the basics.

JUNK
I installed this software and when launched it didn't even get past the splash screen before "encountering a problem and needing to close". I'm really glad I bought this through Marketplace and only paid a penny for it. I guess you get what you pay for.

Ditto on review by Stephen Terrell
His review was dated December of 2002. The exact same situation still exists in July 2003. I got the original bare-bones software with my card reader. I wanted to be able to sort albums easier and according to the info on the box, it was what I wanted. Loaded it and it was the same bare-bones program. In fact, I started looking and found the part number on my old disk matches the part number on the new disk. I do not understand how they can get away with advertising one thing and inserting another. The example screens promised on the box are not the ones on the disk. The instruction manual is the right one for the box but not for the disk they put in the box.And Stephen is correct again about customer support. Worse than non-existent. They promise the world and deliver nothing.I will never by any product with this company's name again.

OnDVD - if you can drag & drop you can make a DVD
If your looking for an EASY way to make a DVD picture show and a GREAT price, ONDVD is for you. You take your pictures, you import them into ONDVD (very easy to do either 1 picture at a time or the entire directory) and your all set! You can even import music (MP3 or Wav files) and insert them in your picture show. One important note - it's probably better to use a CD RW blank CD when burning your picture show. Most DVD's will accept a CD RW and not a regular CD R. You can't beat the LOW PRICE and EASE of use!

Poor Product, Poorer Tech Support
After purchasing OnDVD, I expected great performance based on the great advertising on the box. However, I was quickly dismayed since the program plays the audio track great, but fails to change the slides as adveritised. Although they have a tech web site, with methods of e-mailing them for tech support, they never answer back. In reviewing their public discussion groups, I noticed (unfortunately after purchasing the product) that others have the same problem with the product, and are still awaiting 3 months later for any resolution by Dazzle.
