Transferring Slide Show to Quicktime

I need help quickly. Putting together a slide show and trying to accompany to music for a friend's wedding. I have a collection of 35 photos that I want to keep looping over 5 different songs. I've created the slide show and presumably added the five songs. In the "settings" panel, if I click on "Repeat Slideshow" and "Repeat music during slideshow" I only get one song when I convert to Quicktime. If I click on "Fit slideshow to music" each slide stays there forever since I only have 35 photos over five songs. I simply want the 35 photos to loop through every 2 seconds as it plays the five songs. Can someone offer suggestion? (P.S. I can't keep it in iPhoto because I won't have access to Mac)

MacBook Pro; iMac G5; MacBook 2.16GHz, Mac OS X (10.5)

You can’t do what you want in iPhoto.

Make your slideshow in iPhoto - with the short 2 second view etc - with no music.

Export from iPhoto - where it will be created as a Quicktime move.

Using either QuickTime Pro or iMovie make the sound track of the five songs.

Paste the movie of the slideshow onto the soundtrack as many times as necessary to fill the length of the soundtrack.

Yes, it worked...don't know if you're still around in Ireland time, but perhaps you can answer one more question. I have the Quicktime movie - it turned out to be 777MB - just a little big for standard CD. So, I've made a Disc Image...copied the movie into the dmg but when I go to burn it on a DVD it doesn't show it's there. It opens up my desktop menu and the movie is greyed out. Any suggestions? Thanks!
