text: By a "slideshow" I am guessing that you will have a series of still pictures, with the band music in the background.  If so, a CD will work fine.    It's like a Kodak Picture -CD.  (If you had "movie" type video, a DVD would give a much higher quality picture.)\n\nReally, any type of CD will work fine.    I use CD-R  700MB.  They are relatively inexpensive, and no one can accidentally erase your slideshow or  write other data on top of it.   If there are differences between brands, I have not been able to detect it.   I usually use TDK.\n\nMost of the newer DVD players can read picture CD's so you can watch your slideshow on tv's too.\n\nHave fun!
