No, you can't extend the 300 picture limit. You can go two ways....

1 - If you put a number of videos on a DVD, there's just a second or two
pause between them.

2 - You can combine multiple stories into a movie using Movie Maker

In either case, you can't put the stories or movies directly onto the
DVDs... they need conversion to MPEG2 files, something done by your DVD
making software, not Photo Story or Movie Maker
