Can Premiere Pro be used to create a photo slideshow that I can burn to a DVD to play on a DVD player connected to a TV where you press the remote control [Next] button to manually advance the photos one at a time?

    Is it possible to create a set of DVD menu pages where I can place one photo on each menu page and click the [Next] button to advance to the next menu page which would accomplish the manually advance slideshow that I need?

    Blu-ray's (no one uses DVDs any more) can have slideshows like you desire.  But you need Blu-ray authoring software to do that.  Adobe doesn't make authoring software any more.

    I disagree. Many people still use DVD's. Blu-ray discs are more expensive and most of the time you can't tell the difference in quality and the content of the discs are the same except they charge more for the Blu-ray version.

    In any case, I have a need to make a manual photo slideshow for a DVD player. I know it can be done because I have a number of official movie DVD's that include such a slideshow of stills from the movie.

    Is my idea of using the menus possible?
