I can think of plenty of scenarios where a slide show of more than 15 minutes, accompanied by music, is both likely and reasonable. Often these are done with Powerpoint but why not with DVDs too? How hard would it be to change?

I've never tried a slideshow with Styler, but I think the 999 is for each slide, not the whole presentation.
Another way would be to use titleset menus, and use a background image(slide) with a timer and a post command to jump to the next menu.(as many as you need), just use a short clip as a title to confuse Styler.

A slideshow is created when you add an image to the DVD. If you add images by inserting files you will create more slideshows. It might appear to you that each slideshow is in face a single slide, but it's not. Once you've created a slideshow by adding a single image you can add more images to that slideshow without creating new slideshows. In the slideshow you can adjust the interval between each slide and you can add an audio track to that slideshow. The duration of the slide show is limited to 1000 seconds. You can work around it by adding new slideshows but it's not the same thing.

Well, I did a 10 picture slide show using menus and it works, Each slide can be timed accordingly and will play the next one automatically. Each slide can have accompanying audio. Used a 10 second video clip to satisfy DVDStyler's error message, but will not play unless linked and clicked.

Are you able to explain why there's a 1000 second limit? From where I sit it could be simply not having dimensioned the variables to cope with bigger numbers. Nice round numbers like that tend to look a bit arbitrary.

Why is the duration of the slide show set to a maximum of 1000 seconds? It makes the software unusable for some purposes.
That's over 15 minutes for a slide, how much longer do you need?
You're right maybe a different program is your best bet.

That's a workaround, but not the same thing.

That's a question for the author, not me. Good luck.
OK thanks for trying. I'll raise it as an issue.
