Have you considered picking up some cheap web hosting? You appear to be primarily concerned with quality and security. This way you would have 100% control over both the quality and the protection. Plus you could do fancy gallery stuff.

Dropbox is winning, but 2GB limit may be tested...we will see tonight.

A 'decent' jpg won't be more than 500kb for something like this, which gives you about 4000 photos...

How bloody many of them is he delivering in his final DVD?

Well, we were given the images last night. A total of 1109 images, which come in at just over 5gb! Looks like I may have to look into this web hosting thing for 3 or 6 months, and password protect it.

Godaddy are offering a decent deal, but i really need some kind of template.

Ideas?

Well if you are looking at paying for hosting why not pay for a drop box account to get more space? Problem solved?

I also know that they degrade the quality of the photos...let's get away from Facebook.

Are there any viable options?

Not really the case anymore.
They introduced a higher resolution and the high-quality option.

Decide what images you want to use. Make a DVD slideshow. Burn DVD. Post DVD to family and friends who you don't mind seeing the images. They can then see the images on the big screen, instead of a likely tiny monitor in the box-room.

This is sadly not practical for the amount of people I would like to send it to, but this might be a nice idea for close friends & family. Best software to do slideshow, add music etc?

Sure, I was just pointing out thought that Facebook photos aren't low quality anymore.
