It's easy with a Macintosh, as all recent models handle HD natively and
I believe even iMovie and iPhoto can do this. Others will have to fill
in on the PC side.

The version of Windows Movie Maker in Vista Ultimate is supposed to
handle HD and has a page-turn dissolve. I don't have ultimate, the
one in Vista Business only goes to SD quality but does to the dissolve
nicely.

Thanks all for the info. I'll check out the guys with Macs.
I didn't get the page turning effect done--we had so many other
problems and had to complete the project. I ended up writing some
software that simply copied a line at a time over the image,
then output a sequence of images. Quicktime pro (only $30) assembled them
into avi files (1200 x 1600 pixels at 2 GBytes per 12 seconds of video!).
The size was larger than HDTV, but will get
downsized to HD. The project was an imaging sequence for
a Discovery Channel show on the Earth.
