P2E to Dvd

[jongru2]

Hi All,

Is it always a requirement to render a completed slideshow as a movie if I wish to show the slideshows on a tv?

If all I want to do is show my completed exe slideshows on TV is there any other way to get them on tv via the dvd mode?

Could the savvy multi media people explain the steps?

thank you, jongru

Go to the other section "How to create a video". Start at the beginning and I think you will find all your answers there.

Thanks Ronwil

I will asume the answer is yes you must always render, but I will investigate the various processes. Thanks, jongru

I do not understand what you mean by render, but you create the SVCD or DVD from the *.pte file not the *.exe.

Hi Ronwil,

By rendering I think I mean that in order to use the finished slideshow along with all the sounds and pictures that are as choreographed in PTE and see them on a tv screen you have to treat the slideshow as if it were a 'movie'? Don't you??

Maybe my term 'rendering' is a misnomer on my part. Hope you understand what I meant....jongru

if you go to the first entry by Igor

i think you will read how the sequence of making a dvd goes.

while in that "how to section' of the forum you can read the many experiences other member's have had.

It is off course possible to connect a TV monitor directly to a PC, such as a laptop, and show the slideshow that way.

Hi Steve,

Would you be so kind as to step me through that process. I have a notebook computer that I would like to try seeing the slideshow on a tv set. Would appreciate it...jongru

I use my laptop as, amongst other things, a DDV player. I have a Dell Inspiron 1100, and I would expect the setup to be different, depending upon what machine you have.

My laptop has an S-Video TV-out (for video), and headphone socket (for audio). I connect these to the TV with an S-video cable and an audio cable. These cables should be fairly standard, available from most TV stores or specialist electrical shop. Once connected, I just change the output to the TV. I have a number of ways of doing this, but using the control panel is one of them.

I don't know if all laptops will support this, but I would imagine that most recent ones will. If possinble, there should normally be some instructions supplied with the laptop for doing this.

Unless you have a Dell Inspiron, I can't be much more specific, but if you do, let me know and I can give you more details if required.
