Danabw, I realize this doesn't fix the problem of getting a PTE .avi file to work correctly in Studio 8, but as a long-time user of Studio 8, I'm not sure why you want to go through PTE before going into Studio 8. If you start by going only into Studio 8, you can put all of your photos in on the video track, change the duration of each picture to your liking, add music/audio on the music track, and add titles and transitions all within Studio 8 for burning your .avi file. I don't know if that helps or not. I'll be glad to help with Studio 8 questions, if you need. Good luck! Rick
