MUR, 1. Does this problem occur with all projects? Try to create a new simple project (3 images) and make a backup in a ZIP. 2. Try to give a simple file name with latin symbols only (say MyProject.zip ) 3. Try to save in a new folder in the root of drive C: or D: (say C:\MyBackups\MyProject.zip )

Cor, 1. I recommend to uninstall PTE 9. Re-install PTE 9 again. If the program will suggest import settings from any previous version, please SKIP this action. 2. Another idea. Probably it's related with certain images/videos files which are located in the File panel when you start PTE 9. Try to run PTE 9 and quickly change current folder (with simple images). Let me know about results.

Masks in PTE 9 are more powerful than in previous versions. You can create more effects with masks with PTE 9.

I always used MPC many used, including for testing PTE video files. It's really very good and simple video player. P.S. Dave, I moved this topic to Equipment & Software.

Yes, with PicturesToExe 9 you can encode 4K video (3840 x 2160) for playback on your 4K TV. You only need to use high quality images with same visual quality (at least 3840 x 2160 pixels). Create an MP4 video in PTE 9 and then copy MP4 video file to a USB flash drive for use with your TV.

Robert, Do you have latest version 9.0.14 ? If not, please try it. Earlier versions (9.0.0 - 9.0.10) had several issues with video encoding).

Denis, Thanks, we'll check next week.

Thanks, I confirm this problem on my iMac with High Sierra. We'll check today the code.

Gérard, Denis, We'll check this problem with Mac version tomorrow.

Gary, We'll increase this limit in the next version (10.0)

Gary, I confirm this. Current limit for any single file is 2 GB if you create an EXE file.

Dave, Yes, probably these problems are linked. We're still trying to catch them.

Dave, Thanks, we'll try to reproduce it. Earlier I never observed it after minimizing/restoring of PTE window.

Gary, Do you use the latest version 9.0.14?

I wish you Happy Christmas! With best regards and thoughts,

Gary, Please check the following: 1. Make sure that Task Manager doesn't show high CPU loading for any running apps. 2. Do you use Microsoft antivirus or another software? 3. Download and update manually new drivers for your NVIDIA video card. 4. If all above don't help, please read this article: https://www.howtogeek.com/284559/how-to-stop-windows-10s-game-dvr-from-slowing-down-your-pc-gameplay/ 5. Some laptops have two video cards - integrated slow Intel video card and fast NVIDIA video card (as in your laptop). By default, Windows 10 might use Intel video card for PTE. Please check the solution from the following article: https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/force-app-to-use-dedicated-gpu-windows/

I'm glad! Usually both audio options should be supported by all DVD players. LCPM is not compressed audio codec (174 KB per second), and MPEG Audio is about 24-32 KB per second).

Hello, We didn't hear about problems with audio in created DVDs many years. Do you add .pte project files for DVD, or MP4/AVI video files? You can try to change MPEG Audio codec to LPCM in the Project Options of VideoBuilder > Project > Audio options > Audio format.

Yes, we have a serious dilemma. I understand that VideoBuilder has problems, but its code is very old. We should spend months to rewrite it. DVD is a dying technology and of course we'd like to spend our time to add more important features which will be used by all users. On other hands, I understand that DVD is still useful for many users, as mentioned above. Anyway future Mac version will not include VideoBuilder.

MUR, When you type text or add new text lines, the size of a Text object is changing, but visual size of an letter remains same. Only future Rich Text object probably will make possible what you want to have.

Lin, I think it's impossible. Only plain text when it's copied from any external text editor to PTE. Because MS Word or HTML5 have very complex text formatting which never can be 100% copied. It would be a nightmare to try preserve a text formating according all embedded text styles (CSS, HTML, etc).

Jill, Thanks, I think that we need word wrapping when user types text, right? So it should be a special new object - Rich text.

OK, thanks for your opinions.

Question: In PTE the Text object shows a green selection rectangle with 8 dots to resize a visual size of an object. Then text will become larger or smaller. In Powerpoint these 8 dots in the selection frame don't changes visual size of an Text object and it adds space for more text letters. How to combine both conceptions? 8 green dots to resize Text and 8 (say blue) dots to adjust space for the Text? Will not this look too complicated?

Barry, I can say even more - this feature has my personal priority. I'd like to add two improvements: 1. Text effects (styles). 2. Rich text object (with editing like in Powerpoint). Regarding p. 2 we're trying to find a good interface to implement this feature. Powerpoint doesn't offer keyframe based animation like in PTE.
