any simple video editing software will do this for you.. what you are taking about is actually a "movie", and though they usually take in .wav files, SVCD format is mp2 for video and mp3 for audio, so you can probably import mp3s for audio. You use a still image as the source for a "clip" and use that type of transition between clips.I also bet there is that option "slideshow" in a lot of photo editing software and presentation software, though it would be more likely to use dissolves rather than motion.
the biggest question is how you intend to "play" the slideshow, so what file type you want for your player... a video is quicktime or .avi, and then can be converted to a compressed format or a streaming format. These are all universal.
other software might make different formats.. web presentation is different.. using flash or other type of animation software/formats. SInce you are taking about making motion of still images, not actual video.. though video is still just the prograsession of still images at so many frames per second.
but the above would be a basic routine from a video perspective.
