In Photos for Mac you can save the slideshow as a video file - just click the "Export" button.


If you want the video to play in a DVD player, you need authoring software to burn a video DVD, for example iDVD, if you still have it installed or Burn.


To burn the video DVD see the links below:

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

when I click Export, there is no option to Save as slideshow.

The "Export" button in the Slideshow panel in Photos will save the slideshow as a video. There are no other options to save the slideshow.

The different video format options are at the bottom of the Export window:

By default the video will be saved in the Movies folder, but you can select a different folder in the Finder.

If you burn the folder as as DVD, it will be a data DVD with the video. To create a video DVD you still need authoring software like iDVD.
