Photo Story is a good program for sending video slideshows by email or watching on a computer but it is useless if you plan to make a DVD out of it.
As far as PAL module is concerned, it produces PAL DV video with not so PAL specifications so its very difficult to author a DVD out of such screwed up video. I am really confused why MS would do such stupid thing, so dream about getting it on a TV.
you should have simply written M$ powertoys .. that was enough :)
