      Can anyone please recommend a free (if possible) editing software that will allow me to transfer jpeg images from my PC so that they can be viewed as a continuous stream on any DVD equipped TV?

      I was able to do this some years ago but the software is now long gone from my system unfortunately.

      Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks, Dave

        Microsoft’s Movie Maker was one that did this.

        Blender does it too, but the learning curve is high.

        You could also try this (unknown to me)

          Ed I had a look on your link not sure if it only for 1 jpeg

          It all depends how deep into it you wish to go.

          I create animation by adding photos (search create animation)
          Then I save as (type) Video for Windows (AVI) Then I convert it to mpeg using NCH

          Going further I sometimes convert it to DVD format with DVD Flick

          It may not be as simple as ABC but once your into it it’s not so bad,

          here’s a quicky I created

           

          Cheers

            Windows Movie Maker is still available & works in Windows 8.1. It is part of the Windows Live Essentials & is available here.
            This downloads the installer for a suite of Windows Live programmes from which you choose any (or all) that you want.

              Dave posted this link for Windows Movie Maker that also works in Windows 10.

                Thanks for the Windows Movie Maker link but trying either the UK / USA language version I get:

                C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Temp\QqsIvkT4.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

                I’ll keep trying – PS I’m on W7 Ultimate if that makes any difference.

                  Best I can find is DVD Slideshow GUI (freeware)

                  as recommended by Gizmo (2017)

                  Just downloaded DVD Slideshow GUI, installed & created a slideshow DVD which worked on the DVD player built into the TV.

                    I dl from Dave posted this link, 64bit Version it installed (Windows 10) that quick I thought it didn’t work.

                    Laters when I went in the start menu WMM was there, I opened it and got a nag (couldn’t find updates) that’s not surprising.

                    Using WMM I added the pictures (only a few) and created as DVD quality WMM seems just the job.

                    Cheers

                      It works fine on W7 Pro 32bit

                      The DL Dave posted the link is wmm6_win7_32bit – wmm6_win7_64bit

                        Thanks one and all for the inputs.  Sometime ago I was able to download a German version of WMV which now seems to work as I want it to.  Thank you all,  Dave
