would that not depend on your burner there was some discussion on this at http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/WIN-HOME.html back then the pioneer and sony burners would do about everything [but stand on their heads] ken

well dont say ya can't teach an old dog new tricks using roxio ezcd creator classic i put 7 - mpeg 1 layer2 mpg's along with a p2e exe on a cdrw no auto run cause i dont need it put it in a dvd player capable of reading svcd [mpeg 1 layer2] files and it worked perfect i will be duplicating this entry in the tips thread must have been the double shot of B12 the gave me this morn just continued some testing and the Koss player will not recognize the disk with mixed components exe or a mpg created for a vcd the cCitizen player will recognize the svcd, exe and vcd mpg and will play them --- other than the exe ken

Isabel just remember that Igor has not allowed for midi files for the avi's yet from a quick google search - midi tutorial http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/Doc/tutorial.html http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tutr/miditutr.htm lots of hits these were the first 2 ken

did it run on a home dvd player why should you have to put an autorun.inf for a "home svcd"? my tests were to put disk in the home dvd player and have it play the svcd -- the player would not detect the svcd components now if you extracted the mpeg of the svcd and added it and the exe that is a different situation which i will have to try but still need to know why one has to add a computer command to a player that is not a computer please explain your "working" method ken

Igor you try it your way and report results success failure i have already done my part ken

Robert, when i send a video signal to my avermedia coversion box to the vcr's to make a vhs tape, i get a squiggle on the right side if there is a vertical border -- i have to either make the images bigger or adj image size to the vcr with the avermedia box settings -- i think it is caused by a "weak video" signal and/or some rf interference. I ran a svcd test for another member and his pictures were not big enough to fill the tv screen and there was some wiggling apparent -- bottom line, i think you will have to experiment to get the right picture size when you are first putting your show together and/or get rid of borders -- this avi feature has opened up a whole new outlook on show preparation ken

PIP i answered your thread way back http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1346 and it did not work for me yu owe me 2 discs ken

James i had that happen at one point and added blank - do not show picture -- at start and finish -- did you try that keep on save as / create as under different names so you can see difference. ken

DVD builder-- it is part of the roxio 6 package ken

midi music is "computer generated music" thus the dvd players will not play it-- p'd me off as well ken

see first post in this thread http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=1396 there is a hot link in Igors post ken

Ron i downloaded the update and i see no movement and there is only the exe in the zip but i redownloaded it just now 08:00 est and it has the 3 components and the intoductory text/letters are "flashin/scrolling "across the screen doesn't it feel great when a plan comes together!!!! ken

Barb have you got the play music box checked ken

Malcolm for starters see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1408 and the instructions are in the help file of ver 4.2 beta 1,2,3 and 4 you still have not said if your Pioneer player is also a dvd burner a cd burner will make a vcd or a svcd but not a dvd and i dont know whether ezcd 5 supports dvd creation ver 6 platinum does you will either have to read your manual or visit the Roxio site ken

Great, thanks Igor now lets hope things get posted in the proper areas ken

I guess it would be a VI file then I believe process requires the audio track to properly sync the video when the avi option came on the scene I believe Igor explained this use search for audio+Igor ken

Bear dont forget to save your reg key in a safe place c/w all documentation ken

I was able to make a svcd show and for some reason my Koss decided it would play it as well as my first svcd attempts made when we first started the avi experience used beta 3 roxio 6 platinum with latest updates show i used took 13 mins to encode a 3.8 mb p2e exe and it took 19 mins to encode the same to svcd viewed on the 13" monitor style tv the transitions were smoother and picts seemed sharper something to remember FROM THE ROXIO 6 HELP FILE SVCD Stands for Super Video Compact Disc. A standard for displaying full motion pictures with associated audio on CD based on MPEG-2 video and audio. An SVCD can be played in most newer-model set-top DVD players, holds approximately 15-20 minutes of video, and results in higher video quality than the VCD format (but is not as good as the video quality in the DVD or miniDVD formats). so if one is trying to make svcd, keep show time within limits ken

well now what happens to the tips thread i started -- will Igor xfer it into the new "sticky" http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=1350 ken

Al he is not getting beta 3 for some reason maybe an the russian's placed emargo on steeltown area he has downloaded it 6 times i'm getting beta 3 but then some people voted liberal ken

dont do anything till after xmas easiest way is to buy the upgrade xp if you want to keep stuff ken

Robert has a full editon of XP, not the upgrade, so i think he has to make special plans -- maybe the partition, dual boot route ken

Robert did you search this group http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/WIN-HOME.html and http://members.cox.net/scotterpops/article...nxp/winxp1.html ken

I may be wrong in this, but i believe the same fancy font that you use in a word.doc, email message etc must also be on the receiving system. p2e shows that are made with Lucinda Handwriting for example, do not display on a system that does not have Lucinda Handwriting, the system font is displayed. but once a p2e show is converted to a vcd for example and burned to a cd the font stays with the finished vcd show. ken
