iPhoto Slideshow to DVD

I have a iPhoto slideshow that I have been trying to write onto a DVD so it can viewd on a home DVD player or windows systerm. the slideshow has approximately 212 slides, and when I run it in iPhoto it works just great. However, when I try to write it to a DVD, it stops at 99 slides with no advanced warning. Does anybody know what the problem is? Thanks for your help.

iDVD limits each slideshow to 99 slides.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was afraid of. Do you have any ideas for a work-around? Is there another DVD authoring program that is inexpensive and easy and lets you do more than 99 slides.

DVD Studio Pro is now selling for $499. Not exactly inexpensive, but much more capable than iDVD. If you buy DVDSP 1.5 now, you're eligible to receive version 2.0 when it comes out later this year.

Your only other option is CaptyDVD distributed by Lacie. It will cost you $159.

Hunter, one thing I have done in iDVD for slides over 99 is create another slideshow in IDVD and then import another 99 slides and so on. The only drawback is that your 212 pictures are spead over more than one slideshow.

Thanks, I managed to make that work, but it isn't very elegant, and, to me half of what Apple is all about is the elegance. If you want clunky, you go for windows. Well, maybe next go around they will get it better.
