Download and read the Users Guide from either the "help" feature in PTE or from the forum at "Tutorials and Articles"...

You can't use the PTE codec unless you are planning to immediately burn your creation to a DVD. The PTE codec is a "template" for telling the rendering engine which slides, transitions, timings, etc., to use and when you click on "Finish" it is deleted automatically.

Use one of the other codecs which you can choose from the drop-down list. If you don't have a common codec installed (such as DivX or Windows MPEG 4, etc.) you can download and install from one of the free web codec sources such as ACE Megapack.

Which codecs are available on your individual system depends largely on various software you may have installed. Codecs are "compress/decompress" algorithms which allow the compression and playback of multimedia data. If you read the list of available codecs and report back here, someone can suggest a suitable choice to make your AVI file.

Best regards,

Lin,

Thank you for the reply. I have downloaded the divx installer and tried to burn the AVI usig that and the program crashes.

Can anyone let me know what the "custom video" settings would be to create a successful AVI file.

I mean it looks very easy but I'm having a heck of time.
