Sorry bridlewood, not much help, but this is the answer I got from my friend:

I am not sure how much help I can be, I use a program that I have with my computer called iPhoto, I create a DVD photo movie and then I burn them. It is very straight forward with the program I use but if she has a PC I am not much help.

I do a good-bye DVD for each of the kids and I do one each year of all the kids for Christmas. My parents love them.
