You can burn slide shows (or movies for that matter) to CD-R with your CD
burner in VCD (video CD) format. Many (but not all) newer DVD players can
play VCDs- check the manual that came with your unit to see if it is
VCD-capable.
I just recently created a slide show with background music using
MemoriesOnTV:
http://www.picturetotv.com/ The trial version is fully
functional but places the text "evaluation version" into your slide show.
I liked it enough that I ended up paying for it.
Microsoft offers something for free which *sounds* very similar:

Both MemoriesOnTV and the Microsoft product allow you to burn the slide
show in VCD format.
Hope that helps,
Ian.
