walusa Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I am using OEM version of Nero Ultra 6.6 with Vision Express and Nero DVD-Video Plug-in to burn DVDs. DVD-Rs are created very smoothly using the AVI file created by PTE. However, all of the custom comments (Titles) that appear at the bottom of each slide (my option) when the P2E show is run on a PC, have completely disappeared when the DVD version is shown on TV. I hate to think of having to write a title on every image. Is there any way to set up PTE to assure the comments/titles are included in the DVD? Added note: To check quality differences, before making a DVD I made an SVCD using AVI files made from the same slideshow. While the quality of the SVCD was reasonably good, the DVD version was much better. However, the SVCD version correctly displays all the comments/titles on the TV whereas, the DVD version does not. In setting up PTE for the AVI, I selected "SVCD disc" from the Video pop-up and for the DVD I selected "DVD-Video disc" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdedorc Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Walusa,When burning a PTE show to DVD, I use Object Editor | Show Safe TV Zone (SSTZ) and Project Options | Comments | Offset to properly place my comments so that are inside the SSTZ and will show on the TV. The amount of offset will depend on the size of font you use.Good luck...Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walusa Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Itdedorc:Thanks for the suggestion, I will certainly try it. Incidentally, when I play the DVD using Windows Media Player, the comments appear but reduced in size. The only place they don't show up is when I run it on TV. I hope your suggestion solves this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walusa Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Itdedorc:Your suggestion to use the "Show TV Safe Zone" worked great. I had to change the Offset from the default 5 setting to about 40 just to get the text above the bottom of the TV safe zone. Many thanks!
