Answer 1

I solved it using Adobe Encore. There has slideshow creator tool. You can use images and background music as I want.

Answer 2

You need to study JavaME and Xlets. I personally found the HD Cookbook very useful. I use Netbeans to code and compile my Blu-ray JavaME Xlet projects. They just need to be compiled using -target 1.3 in order to be compatible. It is essentially just Java 1.3 with some additional API's for Xlet and BD-J.

I've made a project similar to the one you're writing about here: One that loads images from a webserver and displays as a slideshow.

One note though: Older Blu-ray players can't load from disc while playing a video or audio at the same time, without creating a hickup in the video or audio. Afaik this only applies to older players though.
