Conflow Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 SVISK4,I am not too sure that I understand you correctly ~Do you want to convert an existing PTE.Slideshow into an AVI File directly from the Slideshow Exe File....??Yes, such types software exist, but to my knowledge you can't convert the actual EXE.File to an AVI File.However "AOA Media" supply Software to convert DVD to AVI and Video to AVI but I cant be certain thatthis will work with a PTE Slideshow to AVI. Contact them and send a small PTE Show to see if its possible."See Attachment" and "Link" to their Website.AoA Media are one of the leading Software Manufacturers in Video Technology.Brian.Conflow.http://www.aoamedia.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conflow Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi,The program I have utilized is FRAPS http://www.fraps.com/ .It's main use is display directx frames per second for comparing video card performance. It does also support avi capture that can create very large files because it can't encode in real time. After capturing you can convert to mpg/divx/h.264. You must have a large amount of free disk space but the results can be very good.TomHi Tom,Are you sure that "Fraps" will open-up a PTE.Exe File ?...or does is simply capture a "playing" Exe ?The reason I ask is that 'Granots Program' and others do exactly the same job of Screencapture of PTE and the quality of this is dependent on the screen-resolution of the Monitor, (ie:-The signals coming from the VGA Adapter). This simple method will not produce a Hi-Res AVI.I agree with Ken, I do not know of any worthwhile Program which is capable of de-compiling a PTE.Exe in order to extract its JPeg contents so one can make a quality AVI File. One would have to know the PTE source code to do that !I vaguely remember an Admin thread from Igor ~ he said that he was looking into that possibility for PTE.5xxxI did have a look at the "Fraps Program" which is geared to Video ~ perhaps we are all missing something here ~ could you give more details about this Software as this problem has turned up on this Forum more times than I care to remember ??Brian.Conflow.

Conflow Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Tom,Good man yourself ~ many thanks for the reply, that explains all ~ so in reality it is a good Screencapture Utility (some of them are awful) as to whether SVIFKcan accept that I dont know. I had visited the site but didn't download anything. I love your definition of Hi-Res...anything above 800x600...in fairness that sometimes works better than Big Res!All the best...Brian.
