Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit system. The installer loads large data via the Wondershare WAC Downloader, without informing, that...

The final installation is about 85 megs, and the Wondershare Helper Compact is not missing, too ...

Don't forget to load the addition 82 megs of additional resources:

Established in 2003 and located in Shenzhen, adjacent to the international financial and trade center Hong Kong, Wondershare has extended its business worldwide, consistently dedicated to satisfy customers with diversified consumer software products and services.

One year ago we had had Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard 6.1.11 on May, 13th.

Here are the old reviews :
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dvd-slideshow-builder-standard-6111/

On the first start a crash : access violation at address 0401c662 in module "ProjetDoc.dll" Read of address 00000000.

Restarted, it works, a modern interface opens, you add your photos and then ... nearly unlimited options to personalize your slideshow.

If you love to make slideshows, it is an impressive tool, really.

I have made a short test. Have a look - and yes, it is only a home made pizza (I am a pizza fan). It is an 8 megs .AVI file, the HD .WMV video resulted in a 80 MByte file. I uploaded only the short example.

You can save your slideshow as DVD (to be burned) or as video in different format. A really complete program. Makes a good impression.

I have to admit, that I am not a slideshow fan. But I keep this piece of software - and delete the Wondershare helper compact...

Excellent tool today, as almost any program coming from this developer, that offers a lot of functions, transitions and motion types in a friendly and neat GUI.

Perfect for those who takes lots of pics or movies during vacation, since it can import them easily from camcorders or other cameras and devices.

Users can add custom subtitles and music tracks, or even add their own voice to make a comment on their slideshow, before burning it to a DVD or to other video formats compatible with pretty much any kind of mobile phone out there.

Overall it's a KEEPER!

3 THUMBS UP from me!

BEST FREE ALTERNATIVE?

Here you go:

To add an audio track (for instance a recorded narration) to an image or to a specific point of your slideshow, just export your slideshow to mpg/avi format, then open it with the freeware “DubIt”:

After recording your narration or adding your music sounds to specific points of your slideshow, export to wav/mp3 and then import them into you DVD slideshow GUI project.

Enjoy!! ^_^

Thank goodness I am using the WinPatrol tool, because this is one unruly Wondershare giveaway! I've not had these problems in quite a while with a download from Wondershare OR most of the other giveaway vendors. Without notification or asking permission, this program auto-installs a Multimedia Player that tries to replace ALL of your default media player for some files (in my case, it keeps trying to replace iTunes, MediaPlayer, and a DVDPlayer package!). As noted above, it also tries to add a "helper" program to your startup files. Wondershare: I am not unhappy to have another media player, but a) please ask my permission before installing it, and b) please do NOT install ANY helper startups without my permission. GOTD, I'm grateful for the products and service you provide, but if your contract with the vendors specifies they NOT hide bloatware/malware, please enforce you contract!

In one of the first steps you can choose a different location for the program:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10366431/_GOTD/WondershareDVDSlideshowBuilderDeluxe61_20040724/ActieDownloader.png

And than the DOWN-LOADER will begin downloading the original program from Wondershare: ~35Mb. "dsb_deluxe_full18.exe"
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10366431/_GOTD/WondershareDVDSlideshowBuilderDeluxe61_20040724/Installatieverloop.png

Therefore give the setup access to the internet for downloading.

Besides the program it also downloads a media-player: about 29Mb "player_full1374.exe"

This will be installed without asking:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10366431/_GOTD/WondershareDVDSlideshowBuilderDeluxe61_20040724/Player.png

And very nice :-( : after uninstalling, it will be installed again after starting "Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe" and become the default player again.

Although my message written after having tried the software may seem to arrive too late to warn anybody, I decided to share my experience as it is really revolting.

This is simply a combination of elementary image editing (any decent image editor has much more to offer) and slideshow functions (many fee and all software pieces sold with CD recorders has more to offer), but still nicely packed. And that’s all it is No really advanced functions there!

The software offers operations that today are fairly elementary: basic transitions and moves, audio with poor sync and Hollywood gadgets (butterfiles on the screen and such).

This pseudoDELUXE cannot do as simple moves as zoom in/out to/from a specified point on the photo. There are only 3 predefined zoom in/out rates without user’s being able to set timing and scale of the zoom. And there are slideshowmakers that provide an option for the viewer to "travel" around the photo from one point zoomed in/our to another.

As mentioned before, during installation the software without customer’s consent installs its own viewer and forces all madia to open in its viewers, destroying all custom settings for opening clips and movies in other viewers that the user may have specified before. If so, I may expect that it replaces and ruins many other multimedia and codec related settings.

The program now and then attempts to connect with internet in a manner that Windows firewall standard settings will permit without prompting the user.

In spite of its name, the software is pretty simple although it looks and feels seem "delux". If you are seeking decent operating options rather than gadgets, you may skip this GAOTD and turn to decent free image browsers/editors (like Irfanview) and media software with a slideshow maker option.

And Wondershare used to have a good reputation in my eyes – they used to enjoy it, but now its gone!
