iceberg Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I am failing to get any video output from P2E/VB on my Windows XP laptop though I can make a standard DVD from the P2E projects. The VB operation runs reporting 0 fps and the file produced is zero length. After failing with previous projects, I created a new project with just 2 pictures and set it up according to ronniebootwest's tutorial. Doing the same operation on a new Windows 7 desktop works perfectly so I conclude there is nothing wrong with the downloaded latest version or activation codes.The laptop has Intel core 2 duo T2700 2 Ghz processor, ATI X1600 128Mb graphics, 3Gb memory, fully updated XP. I have Norton 2011 suite but Sonar is switched off and I tried it with AV and Firewall off and there are no relevent reports in its log. I tried removing P2E as I had updated from a previous version and re-installing it. There is plenty disc space.HD files produced on the desktop play OK on the laptop via Quicktime but not Windows Media Player.Is there something missing ?

nobeefstu Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 iceberg, The VB operation runs reporting 0 fps and the file produced is zero length.See this topic in Video Output forum section:http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10154HD files produced on the desktop play OK on the laptop via Quicktime but not Windows Media PlayerWMPlayer {by itself) on XP does not have the necessary decoders (h264) to properly playback HD Video. You need something like Windows Media Player Classic HomeCinemaRead these topics:http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12061http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8954 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have iTunes on the laptop where the video file functions do not work but not on the desktop where they do! I still suspect a codec problem but where should I look ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 The bug in 6.5.7 which causes video output to fail under some copies of XP is still in 6.5.8 but thankfully 7.0 works using the same pte file so that is good news.
