that is possibly the easiest option mate. Im not a big fan of movie maker cos the tools are very limited, but it does the job.

How much you paying for that dongle?! Virgin is around £20 a month!

Just use the effects in WMM.

Right ive made it to what i want, thank for the help BUT, what are my chances of being able to add a photo album onto the disc menu? Instead of viewing them in and around the videos

You could make a slideshow of photos make that into AVI etc. and add it on as a seperate video. so the menu would have two videos to choose from.

Ive not made the videos as one though, they are all seperate but play through all them when you press play. I want a photo album option on the disc menu underneath play but i cant see my options without playing them after or before the videos
