I like it! Its higher version has dvd burning engine. Therefore, you could make DVD slideshow in minutes!

DVD Slideshow Maker

So you want the HOTTEST techno gizmo but dont feel like shelling out the dough. You deserve to get freebies. Want Free Things has the top freebies from free Nintendo wii to free electronics such as a free camera, free iPod or free iPhone.

Have you test Vdownloader? it work fine also. another tool like plugin is from real media player.

Tried installing and activating, tried activating and installing, both ways leave watermarks on the output. Thank for wasting my time GOTD.

Hi,
i downloaded Wondershare iPod Slideshow in time and installed and activated but it is still starts in evulation mode.What can i do?
Best regards

im uninstalling =( never got it registered... if a site is gonna give away a program they should give away a program... not a cheep trial... i wanted to use this i really did!!! but cant register... ooh well. =( =( =(

After reading all comments, I find so many persons are confused of no registration info. Actually you don't need email and reg number to remove the watermark on your created works. Once you download and unzip the file, you will see two EXE files, one is Setup.exe and the other is Activate.exe. You should double click Setup.exe to complete the installation and then start the Activate.exe to activate the program. When you restart the program, there are no email and reg number asked for again.
I'm not sure why many people give thumbs down on good software. Is there a conspiracy among competitions? I have used the program. It's really good for us to assemble holiday photos, video clips and music to a great photo slideshow for keeping our special memories and sharing with loved persons any where and any time. Download and have a try, believe your own insight!

I am continually amazed at the number of people who do not read the readme.txt file in order to register the programs properly. Files must be opened in the correct order.

Okay Giveaway, you really need to fix the inability to register or yank this off. I'd hoped that an install and reboot would fix it, just tried again for the last and final time and found that it puts a banner across the screen. I agree with Eric, we don't need you to provide stuff we can get anywhere else!

As far as I'm concerned, this IS a software problem.

I have a real problem with you all offering software, but no registration info.
Look, I can go to any of these companies' sites and download trial versions.
If you don't include the registration info, you effectively make GAOTD irrelevant.

On my Vista Ultimate system, it installs (which it didn't on my Vista Home prem this am! But it asks for email and reg number as above users ave reported.

Why not use iPod's built-in slideshow feature that lets you choose from many graet transitions, as well as have any playlist play?

I'm sorry to say no to this.

You talk about people with ipods and inflated egos and I wonder just what that's all about! You continually post here with nothing creditable or interesting to say, simply, I'd guess, to see your name in print.
Pathetic!

I have installed several times and uninstalled just as many. Guess I'll leave it off my machine. I used autoproducer from www.muvee.com if you guys want to make a nice esy, quick video check it out. Works like a champ and makes you look like a genius! I wanted to try this one, but the darned verification process isn't working!

I'm not able to get the activation to work either, even though I followed the instructions several times and was directed to the web page that says I validated it. Anyone? Anyone?

A little slow, but otherwise, it is very good! I have already put over a dozen photos on my iPod!! Made like a movie on it. Thanks alot GAOTD!! I dont understand why it got so many thumbs down! This is so very useful! I dont know anyone who does not have a iPhone. So, if you dont have a iPhone, I dont understand what you are waiting for.

GAOTD: Would you please not waste our resources with a screensaver this weekend and may us something for our Iphone?? Just about anything but a screamsaver!!

Wondershare is splitting up there products and solutions to sell as (many titles) much as possible (as does Cucusoft). You might not like that, (some product are almost the same) but this doesn't make there products bad. It's just there commercial approach.

http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/wondershare-ipod-slideshow-v1-0-0/

Please somebody help ....I have tried atleast seven times to uninstall...remove it`s installation folder...then reinstalling the software. How do we activate it??

Made YouTube Slideshow

I used iPod Slideshow to make a slide show, added music then posted the mp4 on YouTube. The quality is pretty good.

See it for yourself : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnqvcpcvimU

Has anybody or anybody from GAOTD has any idea how to go about it!!!!

I tried to install the software on my laptop running Windows Vista home premium.It asks about e-mail and some registration code.I jut do not know what to do.

I will pass on this program as I do not have an ipod. My son does have an ipod and I considered downloading and using it for his benifit. However he told me he tried it and did not like it. I have some Wondershare programs from this page. For the most part their programs are pretty well writen and work well. Despite what my son told me I would suggest users that have an ipod to give this program a try. There are enough positive comments to warrant a try. To stray away from the subject at hand I would like to make a few comments. I am looking forward to the upcoming games for this weekend. The current pattern has been the first day offering of a Realore Studio repeat. I don't mind this too much. Realore Studio offers some great games. It gives us a chance to get games we may have missed the first time. But the second day has be some rubbish from the publisher Some Games. If this publisher was cool why don't they have a web site? All links lead back to the GAOTD site. Please spare us the Some games offering. I think most users would prefer any other publisher. That is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree and comment.

Ah the 22nd of May, GAOTD's equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle.

80% Thumbs Down, guess no one was fooled.

If you uninstall this application be sure to delete the rubbish left in the program folder as it leaves 5.47mb of installation files.

Oh come on you guys!
To #4 > I have 2 other products from wondershare and never had any problems! I still use them and they work great!

And if they have 1 million sites? So what?

Google and Yahoo own thousands of domains too!
Just take a look how many and what kind of domain Google has registered!

#22 I am having the SAME PROBLEM AGAIN
I have downloaded it and reinstalled it and clicked the activate button 4 times and it is still asking for an email and registration code.
I get so bummed out and pissed off when I take the time and TRY and install these things to try because I DO BUY software that I LIKE, but when you can't even try it out,
like MUVEENOW
which I would have LOVED to try more than once, I wrote and wrote to the muvee site and they won't even bother to answer me.
It takes time, use and sometimes abuse of us and our computers and time when the thing won't even install right so you can try it out.

TOTALLY BUMMED OUT AGAIN

Your endproduct will be a .mp4-file (same video-format those digital photocameras use).
The MP4-result can be used in everyway you like (on an iPod, but also on your PC etc.)
On a big screen you will lose a lot of sharpness but on little screens it is OK.
This is realy nice to take your holydaypictures with you on your cellphone.
Some cellphones do not use MP4 but 3GP.
You can convert with a free utillity called SUPER: http://www.erightsoft.com/home.html

If you don’t need it, just leave it, but that doesn’t make it a bad produkt. If you like it, just try, you can today and you can uninstall whenever you like. Many will like this I think though I have no use for it myself. But I did install and try and it really works fine.

It is free and works well, but I profer this all-in-one Software, it has so many functions you can use:

# Support convert DVDs/Video to any audio format including AC3, AAC, MP2, MP3, MP4, RA, WMA, etc.
# Support convert DVDs/Video to any video format including H264, MP4, WMV, AVI, MOV, RM, 3GP, flv, SWF, mpeg1, mpeg2, VideoCD, SuperVideoCD, DVD, etc.
# Support convert DVDs/Video to any (portable) device including iPod, Zune, PSP, iPhone, Apple TV, PPC, PDA, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, etc.

THIS PROGRAM IS GREAT!!!!!...Lucy, come make a movie with me! Aye yi yi yi yi! Ignore the bad comments, you can make great movies for your ipod from photos and video and it is very easy to use. Download it, use it, enjoy it and share the love! Babbaloooooooooo!

what is the registration code??? i cant find it.... and i really want the full version!

Installed fine. It's asking me for a licensed e-mail and the registration code which didn't come after the activation key or the readme file! What the hell?

I'll try re-downloading and re-installing it again.

Wecome all ipod defenders.

I prefer Windows Movie maker to this, of course I have no need to show presentations on a screen nobody can see!

Beside the maker having dodgy sites, There's a few reasons to steer clear of this.

what the hell!?!?!? everyone giving thumbs down on great software!!!! i will be using this for years to come!!!!! I love it!!! thanks gaotd!! and wondershare software!!!! keep it comming gaotd!!!! =)

Returning from a short vacation I had ofcourse to visit GAotD again.
Wondershare has several products and also offered in the past to GAotD. Despite all the negative comments, there is really nothing wrong with there products and you can safely trust them.
Not everyone will have use for this product, but if you have, it is really working nicely. It's not just for iPods, though the name is suggesting such.

With this product you can make a slideshow from not only pictures, but you may also add small video fragments (many small digital photo-camera's are able to shoot MP4-videos) and you can add music and nice transitions between the photo and videoshots.

Everything is very simple and basic but therefore also very easy, making up for the lack of more complex features and controls.
This product comes also with an attractive GUI that gives a nice feeling working with it.
When your not bundling heaps of pictures it works well (it is a bit slow though).

Your endproduct will be a .mp4-file (same video-format those digital photocameras use).
The MP4-result can be used in everyway you like (on an iPod, but also on your PC etc.)

The software installed with no problems on Windows Vista Home Premium. Using the software is as easy as 1-2-3. I used over 40 various images (both jpg and bmp), from 9 megabytes to 24 megabytes in size, then added a background sound (mp3). The resulting mp4 file played well and the size was very acceptable. I don't have an iPod, but I do have an mp3, mp4, etc. player which I bought through eBay last year. The results worked great.

Forgot to add an alternative... Sorry..

DVD SLIDESHOW GUI [http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/] is free & lets you save in several formats - from the help file:

"Will let you export to a wide range of files:
.mpg (muxed image, sound, chapterpoints)
.m2v (image only)
.mp2 (sound)
.ac3 (sound)
.all (m2v, ac3, ssa, txt(chapters) in one go - GUI for DVDauthor and DVD author GUI needs these.
.iso (image, sound, chapters, dvdfolders as a ready to burn file)
.avi (If the combobox of the popup doesn't work, click in it and press the first letter of the codec you want to use. No sound)
.avs (You'll find a lot of encoders for this format ex. Virtual Dub. HcEnc, Quenc, Super(render ex. flash, mp4 ect.)
.flv (Flv is a flash videoformat wich can be embeded in html and streamed on the net.)
.gfd(Gui for Dvdauthor file with menus: main, slideshow, album, slides)
.srt (subtitles format - to import into your favorite DVD authoring app.)
.ssa (subtitles format - to import into your favorite DVD authoring app.)
.txt (chapterpoints for each image in frames or smpte)
DVD folders. (image, sound, chapters, dvdfolders)"

Pros:
Wondershare iPod Slideshow has a cute interface & uses the well-known & free Mencoder. The maximum size of 320 X 240 is probably OK on most small displays - at that size video will fill a std TV screen (though not at top quality) so it should work OK once you start dropping below 5". And a smaller picture cuts the file size so you don’t need as much compression - a 320 x 240 picture can look better with a little compression, than a picture twice the size (640 x 480) with twice the compression.

Cons:
Other than size you can’t control the bit rate or quality, and you can’t set the frame rate - both are pretty important; I’d go so far as calling these missing features a critical flaw.

Unknown:
The “15 Minute Review” at the top of this page mentioned that the iPod Slideshow wouldn’t work on a test PC... During installation the program adds 3 files to the system32 folder that I think are part of the Microsoft Vis. Studio 2005 runtime... that’s not a problem in and of itself if it’s done properly, but it’s the only thing I can see that might cause a conflict - if 1 program requires or installs one version, & iPod Slideshow another, maybe that’s the problem? The files are: “msvcm80.dll”, “msvcp80.dll”, & “msvcr80.dll” - in Vista you may have multiple versions of these files in subfolders under Windows\winsxs\ that other programs use.

Is this only good for iPods?

The existing bad reviews are unfair. This is an excellent software and does its job perfectly. It has a great design and makes it easy to put together a complete show. Congratulations.

I just uninstalled the previous Wondershare offering because my Anti-virus software was indicating various Trojans attempting to install themselves. The viruses were listed as residing in the Wondershare file. I don't believe that is proof that the viruses originally came with the Wondershare software, but just wanted to let you all know just in case. It could be that the viruses migrated into the Wondershare file in some way. Someone with a wiser head than mine no doubt knows how this might work.

I thought the purpose of this discussion forum was to give feedback on the software, not on perceived conspiracies by software companies.

Perhaps I'm just an ignorant surfer, but what is the significance of what #4 says? And why is the number of websites Wei Wang has on his server relevant?

#4 You have based your entire distain of the company over something which is not immoral in any way. I have a mailing list and mailing list tools are invaluable for sending out subscription emails to it. The company are NOT offering email address harvesters - which would be very wrong - but are giving a program that allows genuine mailing lists to be contacted.

A while back, giveawayoftheday offered a program called KML which was to enable sending mailing list emails with ease - many people baulked and were up in arms on the comments board saying it was wrong - it simply is not.

In the same way that you cannot hold a kitchenware shop or supermarket responsible for knife crime, you cannot hold a software developer responsible if their programs for legitimate purposes are used illegitimately. Your post therefore is defamatory and wrong and unfairly paints an otherwise reputable company in a bad light.

To #6: Yes, this software also works for people without iPod, you can use it to make slideshow, it will output MP4 video. If you want to edit the slideshow on Windows Movie Maker, you have to convert the mp4 video to wmv video at first, I always use this video tools to do that, I have got it from Giveaway a few monthes ago, it's easy to use and works pretty good. You can also use it to burn the slideshow to DVD for playback on lager screen TV.

G #4
Thank you for the research. I thought something was familiar. Staying far, far away from this.

So can this be useful for people without an iPod, too?

There are a lot of IPods out there and a lot of you do like to show off your ignorance so this may be good for your inflated igo.

Ever noticed that the WonderShare PPT2-everything is remarkably like the acoolsoft.com PPT2-everything? Oh wait, maybe that explains why they share the same phone no! ( http://www.google.com/search?q=%22755-86117717%22 )

Wondershare's domain 'photo-to-dvd.com' is registered to one ByteSky Software. As it happens, there's a Bytesky Software which sells bulk mailer tools:

"Publisher Name: Bytesky Software
Publisher Homepage: --- edited ---

1st Bulk Email Direct Sender is a professional high speed bulk email direct sender program. It is an ideal for newsletters, targeted marketing, and keeping in touch with clients. Because this mailer sends out mails in MX mode and works like a mail server, you don't need unreliable blind relays anymore...."

(The whois info on that one is interesting: --- edited ---

Wei Wang owns 11125 other domains and has 428102 other sites on his server! Wow. That's almost as many domains as his fellow Canadian domainer, the infamous Yun Ye...)

Anyway, I don't know if ByteSky Software is the same as Bytesky software, but I'm not willing to take the risk...

Ease of use is excellant, transitions are average yet plenty. I'm running 3.0 processor, 2GB of ram, 512 video card on XP pro so speed is great under this set up.

Nice software, but I do not like to add photos, videos and background music to make the mp4 video for iPod. With a single click, you can touch-up, crop, or rotate photos and videos. I just like to watch the currunt movies on my iPod. If I want to make the video, I will do it with the full functions on my Computer. I will use some great video ditor tools such as the Video Tools. It is much better than this simple iPod software.

It can not only create your entertaining slideshows on iPod.The video tools make you enjoy more.

1. DV AVI, MP4 (inc. Sony PSP and Apple iPod), WMV, 3GP, 3G2, QuickTime (MOV, QT), SWF, DVD, VOB, VRO,MPG, MPEG 1,2,4, DAT, VCD, SVCD, ASF, MJPEG, H.263, H.264, Real Video (RM, RMVB), DVR-MS.

2. Convert video files and DVD to DVD, hard drive, Sony PSP, Apple iPod, Archos, Zen Creative or any other portable media player. Video converter supports Memory Stick Video format with thumbnail preview.

3. Cut unwanted parts and TV advertisings from DVDs or video files recorded with PVR, DVR & DVD camcorders. Our scene detection algorithm saves your time by splitting video into episodes. Leave the scenes you need, delete the ones you don't.

4. Create movie DVDs or VCD and SVCD from video files of all supported formats with AVS Video Tools integrated burning engine to watch them on your home DVD player with friends and family. Use DVD menu templates. Split your movie into chapters.
