Review : Ulead DVD PictureShow 2.0

Ulead has been a long standing name in the Image and Video processing market. Started in Taiwan a long time a go ( 1989 ) their primary focus is on image and video processing software. The latest versions of their products now also include DVD creation tools. Ulead tends to make overall well designed tools that are easy to use yet don't cut back on possibilities. They have a lot to offer for both beginners ( ease of use ) to pro's ( nearly limitless creation capabilities ).

The latest in their wide line of products called DVD PictureShow ( 49.95$ with Ulead Photo Explorer) allows you to make Photo VCD or DVD's.  The tools is setup as one big wizard that walks you trough the entire process. You can jump back and forward any given time without losing your settings. This makes it easy to get started and produces a result  in no time. It took me about 15 minutes to have my first result , and most time was spent deciding which of the, plenty ,templates to use. The tool supports most common CD writers and DVD writers directly. As a last treat you can also reuse slide show you already created using other Ulead tools such as Photo Explorer.

You can download a demo version on Ulead site.
