The Pro version picks up where the Free version leaves off, adding the ability to burn video DVDs (from an existing .IFO/.VBO structure), create photo slideshow discs, burn from the command line, as well as perform disc-to-disc copies. For the most part, the Pro features worked well. However, trying to create a photo slideshow resulted in a series of "exception in EEFFACE" errors--one for every photo file I tried to add. What the error means and how it might've affected the entire project I can't account for. I grew so tired of them I simply gave up. I'm sure Astonsoft will correct the image handling and DeepBurner Pro will be stable shortly--they have confirmed that they plan to do so in version 2.0--but as of the time of this writing it's of no use for photo slideshows.
