Who can give instructions to make an avi-file?

[arendsoog]

When I try to make an avi-file, the pte popupwindow asks me to open a program for burning a dvd.

But I don't want to burn. I want an avi file on my harddisk.

Can anyone tell me the thing I have to do?

Now I click on "video", "click in the radiobutton for making avi", "click on make avi".

There is a avi file created on my disk.

But the popupwindow of pte tells me that when I close that window teh avi file will be discarded.

And indeed it is discarded.

So my only choice is to make a dvd.

When I copy the avi to another location, while the popupwindow is open, I can play that avi on the

other location.

Then I close the popupwindow.

But when I then try to play the avi (the copied avi) I only have sound, no images.

Please give me detailed information how to do.

Thank you.

arendsoog,

It appears your trying to make pte avi to video for disc. You need to make a standalone avi file.

Incase you may not see the Create AVI button ( personal customization can hide it)

Go To top bar menu File ... click Create Avi File

This will open the window Making of Create Avi File.

Click the top radio button ... Create Custom AVI Video File.

If your new to making avi/videos and what codecs to use... you may way to read up in Pte User Guide (top of

Tutorials and Articles section of this forum)

Thank you.

But the button is visible.

When I take your workflow, there happens nothing else as when I click on the button.

There is made an AVI file, then there appears a popupwindow (Create AVI file).

The text here is in Dutch, I tried to translate it for you.

Here it is:

Open your AVI-file in a program that can burn DVD-discs.

In case you want to create more AVI-files, open a new PicturesToExe project for every AVI-file.

Click on "Close" when you are ready with burning.

In case you click on "Close" before burning is ready the AVI-file is deleted prematurely and there is nothing registered.

you must make a custom avi - you will be given options re codec to use for video - and for where to save the avi

do not close the pte till it is complete

arendsoog,

You must select a Video Codec in the selection menu to create a Custom Avi ... You cannot use the Pte Video Codec as its only used for creating video to disc.

Creating standalone Avi files requires a Mpeg4 format type codecs or compatable codec. Pte program does not supply or install 3rd party codecs, therefore your system must already have it installed or you must locate and download from the internet.

* If your Compressor selection says 'PicturestoExe Video Codec' ? If it does you need to make Mpeg4 codec selection if available on your system.

Thank you!

It succeeded!

The solution was the videocodec.

Now I choose for Microsoft MPEG4 codec, 640 x 480, and I have an AVI-file.

Perhaps there is a better one, but I can experiment with it.

It was me not good clear in the manual.

But with your help I have learned.

If you have further tips, I should be glad to hear it.

Thank you, the power op pte is this forum!
