Wookee,
Jellycat,
I recommend WnSoft PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.0 because this software doesn't have the picture quality problem described above.
With PicturesToExe final picture quality depends on size of your images and screen resolution of your display. Also this software has a built-in unsharp mask filter which can work in realtime and provides terrific sharpness for your pictures.
New PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.0 can mix still pictures and video clips together in one show. And you can apply any effects for videos and pictures (Pan/Zoom/Rotate, 3D, masking, and more).
You can create show as executable file for PC and Mac. Output for DVD, HD video, YouTube.
Here is a nice sample show which mixes still images and video with good soundtrack:
