I've just started using the Free edition.

 

The answer to all of your questions is yes.

 

I couldn't find a comparison chart of the free vs paid-for but the NCH site says that the free (never expires) version has most of the effects and facilities of the paid-for version. It just doesn't say which ones are not there.

I have created a couple of slideshows with jpgs, tifs and .MOV HD video and they have burned perfectly to DVD+R and also .mpg file for PC or authoring program. I added soundtracks, narration, transitions and effects.

 

So far it seems to work very well. Just bear in mind that whilst it burns the slideshow to DVD it does not author DVDs so you won't get menus and the like. You can insert blank slides anywhere you want in the timeline and add text to them in order to break up and explain the slideshow.

 

To write several slideshows to a DVD I am going to try saving each slideshow to .mpg file and then make a DVD with each separate slideshow having its own menu etc.

 

So far I haven't found any downsides but I see from the forum that some people are having problems.
