The DVD video format is a good choice for sharing photos – even videos – on TV and web. Anyone who has a DVD player could watch photos/video on TV easily. Sharing on web such as YouTube, Facebook, etc. is also popular nowadays. It helps your keep in touch with friends and family. Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder is such a kind of movie maker software gearing to photo and video sharing. It simplifies movie making in 3 steps: Organize, Personalize and Create. It handles well the primary task – movies on DVD, although sometimes not works very efficiently. Below is my review on Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder.

Ease of Use

DVD Slideshow Builder couldn’t get much easier to use. You just need to import your contents, and it’s ready for creation: one-click to burn to DVD or output as video. The movie styles impress me, it auto generates Hollywood-like movies for me. However, the software doesn’t provide YouTube-direct-upload tool, I need to save my photo slideshow to video and then upload to YouTube manually. Good news is that all YouTube video formats are fully supported, as well as 100+ preset profiles optimized for all regular mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc.

Photo/Video Editing

Photo/video editing tools are very important to me. I need to edit them anytime when I want, rather than search or buy software to make small changes. In DVD Slideshow Builder, any photo and video on storyboard/timeline could be edited, for example, trimming, rotating, adding filter effects, audio mixing, red-eye removal, adding captions, etc. These tools are very helpful. Adding animated titles is superb easy. Just input your texts and select the preset text effect (similar to Wordart), and the titles display on screen to help you tell your movie story.

Menu Creation

DVD Slideshow Builder includes a wide range of DVD menu templates for wedding, baby, vacation etc. With a comprehensive set of menu options, you can chapter your DVD movies, add background music, and set animated thumbnails. Now, don’t need to be a computer proficient to make a good-looking DVD menu to display on TV for easy navigation.

DVD Video Quality

The DVD movies created with DVD Slideshow Builder are excellent. You can watch the high-quality DVD with any standard DVD player. And thanks to the PAL and NTSC standard supports, there are no difficulties on international playback compatibility. The DVD menu is clean and clear on TV set. No hassles happen while navigating the DVD. HD video output is also supported for sharing on YouTube or burning to DVD with third-party burning software.
