Foto2Avi converts a collection of photos into a video slideshow, with a soundtrack if desired.

Photos can be added if they are in in JPEG, BMP or PNG formats and music tracks can be MP3, OGG or WAV. It is also possible to add videos in the slideshows from AVI, MPEG, MOV, WMV or FLV formats.

The options for output videos are equally flexible including MPEG4, XVID , AVI Uncompressed, FLV, MPEG and authored DVD.

Effects can be added to the slideshow including logos and subtitles to help describe the photos. There are 25 transitions to move between images and some basic effects such as brightness and fade in and out. More advanced effects include distort and ripple.

More than one audio stream can be added and mixed so narration can be included as well as background music.
