smithrg Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have eight small PTE EXE slideshows, that I want to burn to DVD for TV.I open VB and try to import my shows. These shows are all in one folder named PTE shows, when I click on this folder, in the explorer, the folder goes to VB, I then click on this folder, and it jumps back into explorer. The next thing I tried, was to remove the shows from the folder, and place them on the desktop, and try to import from there, the explorer doesen't even see them. I must say, I can drill down in the folders, where I have all the edited and resized photos, music etc, and bring the EXEinto VB, and then burn it. I have everything on an 8 gig flashdrive, so I can switch between my PC and my notebook, I moved a copy of my shows to the desktop, thinking this might solve the problem, to no avail. Then I moved the shows out of the folder, and placed them on the desktop, no difference. I can build and create an EXE slideshow in PTE and immediately open VB and burn this to DVD, why can't I burn shows already created as EXE? I am a registered user of PTE Deluxe, using 5.6 beta 20. I have Lin's CD of tutorials, and have checked the online tutorials as well.

nobeefstu Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 robertg,I have eight small PTE EXE slideshows, that I want to burn to DVD for TVI believe your issue is you are trying to burn the exe files to DVD for TV ? You must use the .pte file that created the exe as your VB file selection to burn to DVD for TV.why can't I burn shows already created as EXE?You must use DVD Data format to burn exe's to DVD for PC. Exe's are not converted to DVD Movie format for TV.PTE/VB does not create DVD'CD Discs to Data format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithrg Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 i was looking for a screen shot sorry i could not find one with pte's pulled downkenKen, the 8 EXE's that I have created, are all laid out on my desktop, and VB does not recognize them. I can open VB, and the explorer pane doesen't see them. All the other photos, shortcuts, etc are there, but no slideshows.This doesen't make good sense, VB should recognize the shows created with it's host program.I think I'll give up, and take a nap.Thanks for your help, Gayland.

wideangle Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi GaylandVB doesn't use the exe files - it uses the pte project files.Start PTEClick on the 'Create' button then choose DVD Video DiskUse the Explorer pane to navigate to one of your PTE project files (eg proj.pte)Drag the file down to the area at the bottom of the screen, to start building your DVD sequenceContinue with as many more as you wish, in exactly the same wayMove on to the next stage of designing your menu screen.Hope this helps,Regards,wideangle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
