Alos just found that while its playing slideshow automatically, the moment you move the "Delay" slider it also starts the slides from the first one again, a linked bug I think.

I'd be happy with it just not stretching the pictures out...

Any news on this?????????
I have a wedding fair coming up in under 2 weeks and want to use this feature to show potential Bride and Grooms what can be achieved.
It looks a bit naff when you have to use Windows slideshow.
Surely a response should have been posted up by now or am I expecting too much?!

The only images that get stretched are the portrait images, photos take in landscape fasion (the most common way, ie with the hamera held level) will look fine.
There are never any responses posted until a new version that has the issue fixed is released, and this doesn't happen much either. Bit of a pain that the version history page has vanished.

All my landscape pictures stretch?
I've started writing a Slideshow plugin to get around this until the VDJ Team have a chance to fix this. It's still very crude and work-in-progress, but I have managed to get it to show a slideshow of photos without stretching them out-of-aspect. Definately not ready for public consumption I'm afraid, and time this week is a bit scarce unfortunately.
I hope to have something sorted soon, although I'm sure someone will beat me to it - as in another thread I'm still learning D3D...

So...where are we on "modifying" this? I'm waiting patiently, but in the meantime I'm using Windows Vista's slide show feature...very lame.
How will we know when it's been modified?

Exactly!!
This feature would be in constant use if it worked properly.
But I have to take along a seperate PC to run the slideshow in Windows.
Surely a feature which was advertised when I purchased VDJ should work correctly??
If not then it is WRONG for you to even have the feature in place and we should be reimbersed!
Come on Dev team, you have released so many revisions correcting glitches lets get this sorted in 5.1, and lets get this sorted before April when my wedding season starts.
There ya go I've given you a deadline lol!!

I guess it won't be fixed for Christmas says the 3 wise men!
Well I just want to wish the 'Stretched' supporters society a merry crimbo and lets hope this gets sorted on the next upgrade ;-P
( I might get some T Shirts printed if anyone is interested with 'I don't want it Stretched' written all over it!)

I had the same issue, having to figure out how to run a photo slide show for a wedding where it doesnt stetch portrait photos. I considered using the basic slideshow feature that comes with windows but I couldn't figure out how to get the photos to appear in the extended screen (tv). So, after some research I found "Photo Story 3 for Windows". It's a free Microsoft product download and has a lot of nifty options, including many transition options from picture to picture, it also allows you to insert music directly into the slideshow and time it however you want to, or you can even voiceover narrate and record your voice directly into the file. When you are done creating your project, you just save the project as a wmv file and it keeps the photos, sound etc all in one complete file. To play the file I just open windows media player and move the whole screen over to my extended desktop and it plays on the external TV i have hooked up.
I would much prefer to have more options for the slideshow feature within Virtual DJ as more and more people are requesting photo slideshows at their events, but for now, running windows media player with the slideshow along with virtual dj works just fine for me.
here is a link to the free software download from a reliable source: http://www.download.com/Photo-Story-3-for-Windows/3000-12511_4-10339155.html

That is all very good, and thank you for the info, but this post is to try to get VDJ staff to revise the plugin, not find an alternative software to get around the issue.
To use windows slide show to a tv, all you need to do is start the slide show in windows and press Fn + F4 two or three times till it's on both your computer and tv. Just make sure your tv is plugged into the computer before you start it up.
