Mick:

Glad to have been of some help.

Yes, 5 x 4 is the normal TV screen ratio. It is also very close to the
normal digital camera ratio.

The new wide scree TV screen format which will predominate within the next
few years is 9 x 16.

I don't do much musical accompaniment and refrain from giving advice in
that area.

I don't think there is a limit other than the capacity of your CD or DVD
disk. However, I tend to break my slide shows into "chapters" so that parts
can be viewed independent of the whole set.

Your 300 slides @ 6 seconds each (plus 1 second between each) lasts a total
of 2099 seconds or 35 minutes.

I have given hundreds of lectures during my career as a scientist and would
consider this a long show which may be somewhat tedious for the viewer.
