does anybody know about codecs and stuff. I don't.
I'm trying to do a dvd for my mum's birthday, a couple of bits of video and some photo slideshows. The slideshows work OK when burned onto DVD but the vids play too fast although the sound plays the normal speed.
Any ideas?

All my brain said then was 'DivX' but I don't know what I mean, or even if I'm right.

Nero is pretty good, I've burned many a dvd with Nero.
And it does slideshows etc.
Other than that, I can't help, sorry :(

also were you doing anything else on your machine while the burn was happening, i've found that can cause problems, i'm told it's something to do with frame drop off or something.

like you're getting 20 a sec as opposed to the 25 or so that you should be getting. ( numbers may be wrong)

i wanted to suggest speeding up the audio so it matches, but that's even less helpful than my help.
