Peter, Thanks for the confirmation regarding first problem. Do I understand rightly that the second problem is not related with this WAV file and can be reproduced with any MP3 audio file? If yes, please create a new topic, it will help me better track problems.

Hi Peter, This problem should be fixed in the new test version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/pte/picturestoexe-setup.exe Please try different WAV files to make sure that everything is OK, we changed the code for WAV files. I'll publish v7.5.8 later officially.

Daniel, Please try a new version with a fix for this problem: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/pte/picturestoexe-setup.exe

Thanks, Daniel! I confirm this bug.

Hello Denis, A very interesting problem! Please start a new project in version 7.5. Add an image file to the Slide list. Do you see correct colors on added picture? If it the problem still exists, please uninstall PicturesToExe and re-install the software again. Also update manually drivers for your video card.

Peter, Thanks, I downloaded the WAV file and confirm this issue. We'll try to solve this problem. When internal PicturesToExe's WAV decoder fails to open a audio file it loads it with ffmpeg library. So you can hear this audio file in preview or in mini-player. But you create EXE file without video clips we don't include ffmpeg library (to optimize EXE file size), so this WAV file can't be loaded. We'll try go fix a problem in WAV decoder to solve the problem completely.

Thanks, please use it as main version. I'll publish it later as v7.5.8 with other possible fixes.

Gary, Please try a special version with a fix for this issue: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/pte/picturestoexe-setup.exe

Gary, Thanks, I confirm this bug! It will be solved in the next update.

Peter, Can you reproduce this problem in a new project with as posssible smaller number of slides and audio files? Please send me source files of a test project.

I recomend to use the following ways. Please look on attached screenshot. This is more fast and flexible way than in previous versions. Also you can set exact time position in the mini-player to start a preview between two slides.

Please try the latest version 7.5.

There is a number of video formats and combinations. In some cases we can't determine correctly progressive/interlace mode. Please set the necessary mode manually in the Objects & animation editor.

Thanks, I understood now. I think it's correct behaviour. Because it's a mini-player with its default navigation bar.

Daniel, Please tell me - do you use latest version 7.5.6?

Thanks to all members for your comments! The results are very interesting and clear. We can change default aspect ratio for new projects to 16:9 in future version. "Cover slide" option for main images will appear in future version. 16:10 is more rare format and I think it should not be suggested by default. For this reason I moved it to answer "Other".

Please answer on two questions above. I'm looking for best default values of these options in future version. Also we plan to add a new option for main images to the Project options | Defaults tab - "Fit to slide" and "Cover slide". This option will be applied automatically for new slides.

Thanks, John! I'm trying to find the solution.

Dear Carmelo, Thank you very much for your translation! I think Italian users will appreciate your work. PDF file can be downloaded here: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/user-guides/7.5/PicturesToExe_User_Guide_v75_IT.pdf I also congratulate Jean-Charles for his wonderful book which is so popular! And thanks to his kind permission for that translation. P.S. Probably we should delete our official English user manual in a hope that somebody will translate the book of Jean-Charles to English? :D/>

Hello John, We apologize for this problem! Please tell me: 1. What version of Windows installed on your PC? 2. When exactly x264 module crashes (time)? 3. Send me a screenshot of entire screen when the crash occurs (I'd like to see a view of VideoBuilder window and the error message). 4. What settings for encoding did you choose? Preset or custom parameters (width/height, frame rate, bitrate?) 5. Will that problem occur if you encode 3-5 minute project? 6. Does that project (18 minutes) include any video clips? Thanks in advance!

Dave, Currently there is no solution. We plan to update the forum software to latest version and probably it will bring this feature.

Eric, These problems were related with certain rare combinations of project/slide options and you could observe error messages on any computer. If you don't see any error message, you needn't to worry. But I recommmend to install this update just for case. I thought that nobody reads those complicated descriptions of changes.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.5.6 is available now Download: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe (12 MB) List of changes: * Bug fixes.

Gary, I just reworked this feature. This change will appear in the next version. PicturesToExe will remember opened folder in the File list for current project in the settings of program. And browsing of folders in the File list or File tree will not cause modifying of a project (with need to save it). So described problems should not occur anymore.
