Actually, most DVD players, even the ones in the $100 range, can play 
JPEGs. So if a professional slideshow (with sound, fades etc.) is not 
required, one can simply dump a bunch of JPEGs on a CD, which will be 
playable in a DVD player. I send pictures to my sister this way. Her 
player, a cheap Philips, has the option to go through all the images 
automatically, keeping each image on the screen for 12 seconds or 
something like that.
