Hi, I can't answer directly but I had issues with a photo slideshow using jpegs - I had 124 images, total file size around 540MB. It got very flaky, not being able to display the thumbnails after having run through the show - and worse, it would not display the images for the last 9 slides (the slide number displayed ok!)
I ended up splitting into two slide shows and all was well.
Hope this helps
