What would you need to convert slides to DVD?

Display your slides in the way you normally would, this means projecting them onto a screen. The clearer the picture and the smoother and whiter the surface, the better the end result will be. Use a digital camera. Many consumers already have them, but if you don't you can borrow one from someone. Place the digital camera on a tripod, on a table or any smooth surface. Cycle through your slides, and as you get to each new one take a picture of it. Transfer the digital images to your computer. Once there, you can load them into any DVD burning software, use the "slide show" feature and create a digital presentation of all your slides. You can pick transitions, the lenghts of time they'll be on screen and even what order you want them in.
