Slideshow sticks and jumps

[sedgy]

Hi

I have used the DVD slideshow a few times and recently after updating to version 6.5.8 I find the images stick or jump. The overall file size is small and my images are sized at 72 dpi and about 100 -2000kb in size, in landscape, portrait and square formats.

I have some music added but still the overall file is only 79mg.

Is it the fades that are causing the problems perhaps, but I only have applied 3 different ones with nothing fancy.

Can any one suggest how to fix this as when I play the DVD on a large screen tv the images look poor and with the sticking/jumping it does not run smoothly.

Thanks Martin

Martin,

You are covering a lot of ground in your question.

Firstly, does the EXE play smoothly on your computer?

72dpi means nothing - what are the pixel dimensions of your images (jpegs)?

What is the pixel size of your project (and the aspect ratio)?

Remove the music file - what happens then?

It would also help to know a little about your computer and its graphics card?

RAM - Graphics RAM etc.

Let's go from there?

Thanks for your prompt reply to my post.

The EXE when played had 1 blip, many more appear wehn you play the DVD on the TV.

Pixels dim of images are max 500 x 542 for square images, 500 x 389 of landscape and 379 x 500 for portrait, orientations most are 4:3 except the squares

With music off and it still blips when playing the EXE

Computer has 3GB RAM Windows XP, but sorry not sure about the graphics/video cards

On the previous verison 6 things worked smoothly has there been a big change in "something" with the latest version?

Thanks Martin

Try removing the Music completely. Better / Worse / Same?

Trying removing first half of slides then second half - does one half play better than the other?

Try starting from scratch adding one image at a time and note when the blips begin?

Try upgrading to V7 Beta 13.

For taking the time to look at my query, will play around with a new slideshow and put the probs to the helpdesk as the previous version worked ok. Something is wrong.

Many thanks Martin
