Best jQuery slideshow plugin with pause/play/next/prev controls?

Question

I've done my homework - I swear, I've been researching this for a bit.

I have found two nice options, each with its own particular problem:

Option #1: "Supersized" @ http://buildinternet.com/project/supersized/ The problem is that the images become stretched to essentially become the background-image. I want the images to stay within a div.

Option #2: "Liferay's Rotating Banner" @ http://sandbox.thewikies.com/liferay-rotating-banner/ The problem is that this is way too HTML5-dependent.

Any advice?

Answer 1

jQuery Cycle Plugin is the best.
