NON SPORTS ? about making a DVD from vacation photos

I'm leaving in a couple of weeks for a 3 week visit to Australia and New Zealand. Upon return, I'd like to compile my best photos into a visual and audio presentation on a DVD. I'm trying to find the name of the software that allows me to do this. I don't want to just stick a thumb drive into my tv and move from pic to pic.

The software I'm looking for allows for a choice of music to accompany the pics, including a word or two that tells the viewer about the upcoming scenes, these words fade away and then on to the scene(s). The software would include several editorial and special effects to incorporate, or not. I'm thinking some cool didgeridoo music would be perfect for the Australian portion of the trip.

Thanks for all input/advice.

    Tks Paul...I'll be in LA on Thanksgiviing then that night it's on to Sydney...15.5 hours. :(
    We get on the cruise on the 25th which is mostly in New Zealand. I'll try to post a pic or two when I return.

    Take care my friend.

    If you're on Windows, then Movie Maker will do this.

    "The vaccines work,” Trump said, adding that the people who “get very sick and go to the hospital” are unvaccinated.
    “Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it’s a very minor form,” Trump continued. “People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.”
