Photo/slide burning program needed

[pally01]

Hey all.

I'm looking for a freeware program that will create a playable photo dvd. I have a ton of jpeg pics that I want to burn onto a disc and mail to my parents so they can plop it into their dvd player and watch (just like a movie disc).

Any good programs out there?

Google "photo dvd" - it looks like there's a lot of them out there. I don't see anything free, but I do see some inexpensive ones that have a free trial.
