This issue will be fixed in the nearest update (v9.0.15)

Barry, I agree, we'll make names of custom windows not case sensitive in the next version (or probably in the next updates). Also you can choose a name of custom window from a list - click a small triangle icon on the right side in this field.

Hi Barry, Custom windows in PTE 9 should work as earlier. The only difference, a new custom window is now blank (no objects). I attach a sample project created and saved in PTE 9.0.14. Project1_Dec4-2017_17-33-38.zip

Gary, We didn't change the code related with video playback or audio. O&A editor is exactly same. I didn't find attached links to the files.

PicturesToExe 9.0.14 is available: Reduced memory usage during encoding of a video. This helps to avoid a problem of missing images (black pictures) in a created video, if project contains many large images on one slide. Earlier you could observe a problem (black pictures) with a slide style "10 portraits" for large images. Fixed problem with freezing of the Objects and animation editor after copying/pasting some objects between slides. Fixed problem with non-working EXE presentations which are larger than 2 GB. Max allowed size is 3.9 GB. Fixed problem with missing “Help” custom window from projects saved in versions 8.0 and 7.5.

Thanks for testing! It seems that some old hardware players are not fully compatible with H.264 video, if video from two different software programs cannot be played correctly. We recommend to create AVI video for these players. PTE 9 uses latest version of H.264 encoder, and PTE 8 used the old version (2009 year).

Luc, Can you try the following test video files on your TV where earlier you had the problem with PTE 9 files and let me know about results: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/video/pte9_1080_30p_q100_aac192.mp4 https://files.wnsoft.com/test/video/pte9_1080_30p_q100_aac-160.mp4 https://files.wnsoft.com/test/video/pte9_1080_30p_High.mp4 https://files.wnsoft.com/test/video/pte8_1080_30p_High.mp4 https://files.wnsoft.com/test/video/ProShow_Slideshow_1080_30p.mp4

Yes, of course

Thanks again for testing! So PTE 9.0.14 official supports EXE files up to 3.9 GB.

PicturesToExe 9 uses AAC codec for MP4 video. It's popular audio codec for videos. For AVI video PTE uses MP3 codec.

Thanks for testing!

Hello, Please try this version: https://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/topic/20375-picturestoexe-9014-beta/

Hi, Please can you check work of PicturesToExe 9.0.14 BETA? This version includes many important improvements. Especially for encoding of video (see details below). Let me know: 1. How quick the installation window of PTE appears when you double-click on picturestoexe-setup.exe file ? The security check of downloaded file in Windows should take not more than 2-3 seconds. 2. Visual quality of video (sharpness of images) in comparison with previous version of PTE 9. It should be same. https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe Reduced memory usage during encoding of a video. This helps to avoid a problem of missing images (black pictures) in a created video, if project contains many large images on one slide. Earlier you could observe a problem (black pictures) with a slide style "10 portraits" for large images. Fixed problem with freezing of the Objects and animation editor after copying/pasting some objects between slides. Fixed problem with non-working EXE presentations which are larger than 2 GB. Max allowed size is 3.9 GB. Fixed problem with missing “Help” custom window from projects saved in versions 8.0 and 7.5. Fixed problem with installation of PicturesToExe 9 on some computers.

Thanks for this information. I'm glad that PTE works correctly now on your computer.

Hi, Let me know: 1. What version of PicturesToExe you installed? 2. Version of Windows. 3. Did you use previous versions of Windows on this computer?

Dave, OK, I will check again tomorrow. Remove CT from the global storage. Note, that if you have another project(s) where this CT was used, a copy of this CT included to .pte project file. So this you open this project, CT will be recovered automatically (as a local CT for this project only).

Dave, I apologize for this problem. I still cannot reproduce the problem with exported and imported transition. We tested on several computers with different video cards. Can you give me exact step by step instruction? Other members probably will try too. Tauratinzwe, What video card installed in your computer?

Thanks, I will explore this problem. PTE 9 uses new version of H.264 encoder with same parameters. Probably there are some parameters which we can change to add more compatibility with old TVs.

Luc, How old your TV?

MUR, I'm afraid there is no simple solution. You can check it only manually.

Jill, This problem will be fixed in final version 9.0.14.

Cedric, We fixed this problem. Please check the new test version: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe Now projects saved in old versions 8.0 and 7.5 with customized Help window will be correctly transfered to the new PicturesToExe 9.0.14 Beta

Andrew, This problem is solved in the new test version: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe Can you check it?

Thanks for the confirmation. You can use this version, it's stable. We'll release an official v9.0.14 with other improvements soon.

Hi, We fixed this problem. Please try a new test version: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe In fact it was a serious problem which might occur with certain objects.
