Richhaas Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Sorry if this has been covered but I've just spent 2 hours trying all the combinations possible to make an avi file ROXIO Media Creator likes. Roxio sees PTEXE avi files as bad and when previewed in Roxio there's just the audio. The files "Preview" okay in the PTEXE process but the avi does not have pictures in Windows Media Player either. The panel creating the avi says it is encoding the audio then the screen for going to a DVD burner program shows up with the "Finish" button in it. Isn't there supposed to be a video encoding too?Any help...thanksRich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I SUSPECT YOU ARE CLICKING FINISHyou are not supposed to clok fionish until the temp avi is made to a dvd seehttp://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....st=entry23219ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richhaas Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I am NOT clicking "Finish" I am however copying the avi file to the laptop with Roxio on it. I do this without EVER clicking "Finish." After more testing the PTEXE temp avi that it erases plays okay on Win Media but the copy doesn't even on the desktop it's sound only!?!I only got the temp avi to play right on Win Media after setting PTEXE to Custom AVI AND changing the settings to 1024 by 768, same size as the media used and 30 frames per second. But again this is only the first temp avi file that works not the copy. Why is PTEXE erasing the avi files anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 because the avi is only a temp file and copying it elswhere will not work -- it needs all the stuff on the dvd burning system as well as the windows operating system that opened the p2e programthis is the way Igor designed it so that the program would reamin smallken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richhaas Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Thanks for the help.Okay, now I have a DVD of one slide show. How do I make a DVD with many slide shows if PTEXE only has one "workable" avi at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Richyou can open as many instances of p2e as you wish and then import the avi's inwhen the dvd is burned then you shut down each individual instance of p2eken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
