Robert transitions were smooth on my xp home sp2 - p4 2.8 ghz - 1 gig ram - 1 gig fixed swap i have the free GlobFx Swiff player plug in so maybe that is the secret very sad show and the music makes it more sad Alan Lyons has a real sad one -- nearly made me bawl - -I immediately thought of Alan's piece as your show progressed makes one appreciate Canadian Thanksgiving today ken

Steve Irfanview is my default editor for opening jpgs, so if i open a file to edit it with BB, Irfanview opens and as i said irfanview does not strip the data by default ken

Andrew see my examples exe to avi etc http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=2434 it is all in the encoding i believe you might try http://dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html or http://www.videohelp.com/dvd ken

can you reboot and try to rename it or reboot in safe mode and rename it then reboot normally and see if all is ok ken

Anne copy and past it to your client's system and then try and run it from the system -- not from the cd a lot of systems dont not have the power to run from the cd player ken

I should have qualified the "save as" portion of the above -- when i do a save as i rename the file with a rev # or something to remind me what i did the original file and its properties remain un touched ken

Anne welcome to the forum did you burn the pte or the exe to the cd you must burn the exe to the cd ken

Picman welcome to the forum some of my notes re exif if you plan on messing with your digital picts some things to consider -- so do "save as" so you still have the original paintshop pro 8 retains exif data when i did a save as compupic pro you lose it adobe photoshop you keep it iphoto xpress you lose it could not find the save as command with breeze browser -- but i think you lose it as i got some picts from a friend and he had resized them and we lost the data fresh view -- you lose it and Irfanview you keep it why not use irfanview ?? ken

from http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...57&hl=orchestra i have found Boxig's "maestro" 3.3 mbs +- sept 17 02 he is performing half naked and the original skeleton exe -- 2.3 mb+- sept 22 02 as well as the skeleton screen saver setup in all -- 11 shows that he uploaded in Sept 2002 Am still searching discs have his pyramid and space shows in zip's but no orchestra show - the maestro show -- he lets on he is directing an orchestra and the crowd throws what looks like tomatoes sorry i put this in the wrong category Ken

Ken when i had a pair of Hasselblad and was learning how to use them, on quite a few occasions i questioned other users. one stated i should get a soft filter -- what for i questioned -- to soften the ladies faces -- my reply was -- you mean i bought these fine optics only to put a cheap piece of glass in front to satisfy some women's vanity --NOT let her go to a makeup artist to hide her lines and the lenses' will show how good the makeup artist are at their trade i used to say -- sorry cant make a silk purse out of a sow's ear see http://www.bartleby.com/59/3/youcantmakea.html back to the quiver -- i soon learned not to have borders on picts -once the dvd option was available i had to drastically change my show design methods - somewhere in the database the reason for the quiver was explained -- the square pixel/vs round pixel comes to mind -- maybe somebody will jump in here with the answer some stuff here http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...te=square+pixel ken

Bill, good things come to those who wait ken

Jen as the p2e instructions state for making a dvd, How to prepare and burn DVD-Video or SVCD disc, Quick tutorial http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1408 you must leave p2e running until the dvd is created -- and you can have numerous instances of p2e running at once -- then you import the avi's into your dvd authoring program -- the dvd authoring program does the rest ken

Ian I am not familiar with pinnacle's protocol but when making the temp avi there is a box to be checked re pinnacle in the pte program now are you trying to make a vcd, or a svcd using a cd rw disk or are you trying to make a dvd - - your might be able to burn some stuff to the cdrw but the dvd player will not recognize it -- you must use a dvd-rw or a dvd-r or a dvd+r if you are going to make a dvd you will have to give us the answers to the above before we can help you further ken

Jen welcome to the forum. Yes i just made a dvd to verify my system using WinDvd platinum 6 -- the create dvd portion is ver 2.0 i believe and it is playing in a dvd player at present-- not the computer player . have you tried playing it in another dvd player? just double checked the create dvd portion is ver 2.0 ken

Gerard i apologize for the "George" but you heard my plea ken

RJ welcome to the forum by chance have you synced the show if so on the first progect options page -- main tab do you have control of show box checked and i think you have to have mouse enabled on the advaced tab hope it as easy as that ken

Harry why not make a mpg from the avi with TMPGEnc and post that on your webpage search forum for TMPGEnc ken
