How to create a DVD/VCD/SVCD/XVCD slideshow on linux

I did this at work for some co-workers with lots of NASA pictures.

Make mpeg files that are appropriate for the standard you are using (vcd, svcd, xvcd (not recommended for compatibility with dvd players, but good quality), dvd, etc).
- Use digikam to do it.
- Tools -> Create Mpeg Slideshow
- use NTSC video type for compatibility with US DVD players
- This takes a LONG time

Burn the mpeg files with k3b using the video vcd (works for xvcd and svcd as well) or dvd project setup.
