Anyone have experience with Photostory4.0 ?

I'm having a hard time creating a CD with pics, mp3s for sound, and
mpegs. I can create the slideshow and play it on the computer just
fine, but when it comes to making a CD it just doesn't read on my DVD
player.

The documention calls for a VCD (video CD) but I'm told this is just a
regular CD that has the software format the video presentation so it
can be played on the tv etc.

Any help with PhotoStory4 or advice on another piece of software to try
that won't break the bank?

Thanks
