Joining PhotoStory 3 stories on DVD

I'm trying to put together a slideshow of sports pictures, and I want it to
be 1/2 hour long (28 minutes). I hit the 300-picture limit of PhotoStory 3
before I got to the Varsity team, at around 20 minutes. Is there a way to
simply do another PhotoStory for the Varsity, then "stitch" it to the other
story to make a full-length video? Keep in mind that I intend to output it to
DVD using the Sonic plug-in.

Otherwise I'll have to go back and cut a large number of pictures, then
stretch the timing to fit -- a bigger editing job than I had planned.

Can MovieMaker join the parts? Could I then burn to DVD?

Any help would be much appreciated -- thanks!

Yes, but you could have done it all in MM, much simpler and nicer finished
product...

I can't solve your problem, but maybe you could solve mine! (Darn cheek to
ask, I know.) You speak of the 300 picture limit of PS3. Where did this
figure come from? If authentic it will rule out one explanation of a problem
I've had in building a wmv file from a wp3. Before or just after reaching the
video generation step I get a message that there's not enough memory or
storage space. It's a longish programme (200 pix) and yet I've previously
built even longer ones without difficulty. Furthermore I have just done a
test with an earlier and longer wp3, building the wmv again and saving with a
different name, and there were no problems. I have started remaking the rogue
wp3, saving and doing a wmv build after every ten pictures added, hoping to
isolate the problem, but as well as being incredibly tedious this is also, it
seems, pointless. If the limit is 300 pix, then the problem cannot lie in the
size of the wp3.
