Dave, Please try a test version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/picturestoexe-setup-scale-test1.exe How it works now?

Dave, Thanks, we'll modify this code. I'll send you a test version today or tomorrow.

Smokinggoldfish, Please ignore my previous reply, I didn't fully understand the question. This camera can record HD video in different formats including 1920x1080 and 1440x1080. Although video picture is 1440x1080 (4:3) it contains 16:9 video. Real picture was distorted during video recording by this camera. Video player corrects it back to original proportions. This video clip really has 16:9 aspect ratio and PicturesToExe shows it correctly. P.S. Quite by accident, I also bought Sony RX100 camera the day before.

Hello Robert, I'd like to suggest a temporary solution for the Objects & animation editor. Use "Pause/Break" hardware key on the top row of your keyboard. This key works in all parts of PicturesToExe (including main window abd in executable shows). In future version we'll add Space key for play/pause in O&A editor. However with some restrictions. Space key will work only if you clicked to the area of preview (slide), or to the timeline area. Because O&A window contains other inteface controls which also can interact with Space key (checkboxes, text fields, buttons, etc). Additionally, if you have a keyboard with hardware multimedia keys you can use special Play key.

Peter, Thanks, I'll try to reproduce this problem today later.

smokinggoldfish, Please can you send me a sample video file which is 1440x1080 4:3 ? I'm guessing what is causing this problem. Resolution 1440x1080 can be used for 4:3 and 16:9 videos. I have sample videos 1440x1080 16:9. The problem in a fact that ffmpeg library doesn't determine correctly aspect ratio of these files and we had to set manually 16:9 for 1440x1080 videos. Now cameras records at 16:9 and I didn't expect that we can have deal with 4:3 high definition video. Can I ask you - where you create that video file? If you use video editor, can you simply set a bit larger resolution?

I've got my Sony RX100 today. Quickly tested 60p video. I added 1920x1080 60p video to PicturesToExe and converted it using PTE's optimizer to AVI format. It looks REALLY NICE! Ideally smooth 60 frames per second playback at FullHD quality in real time. Quality of picture and video is amazing.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.5.3 is available now Download: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe (12 MB) List of changes: * Fixed bug where the response to a selection in the File list was sometimes slow. * Fixed problems in work of mini-player. * Fixed problem with wrong color space in AVI video output (v7.5.0-v7.5.2). * Fixed problem with appearing of "Out of memory" error in EXE shows which used "Run slideshow..." command. * Fixed problems with clipboard in some cases. * Fixed issues with a scrollbar in fullscreen view of Slide list. * Fixed problems with custom transition effects. * Fixed problem with appearing of error message "Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window" in the main window of the program. * Fixed problem with invisible mouse cursor in the Objects and Animation editor.

We'll try to do both changes in next version. The second change requires much work to re-build ffmpeg library with another set of options and include AAC encoder.

Xaver, Thanks for the confirmation! It seems that AVI file has soundtrack (silence) if project has no audio. Should we fix it?

Thanks, Peter!

Geoff, Paul, Many thanks for your help! I'm very happy! We'll publish final version 7.5.3 tomorrow or on Monday.

Geoff, Politer, We solved this problem! I just sent you personal messages with a test version of PicturesToExe. Please let me know about result.

Peter, I sent you test version with solution of both problems, please see my email.

Xaver, We solved this problem! I sent you email with test version.

Hello Paul, I apologize for this problem! 1. Do I understand rightly that you successfully installed the program (picturestoexe-setup.exe installation file), but you can not run PicturesToExe by double clicking on its icon ("PicturesToExe Deluxe") on the desktop? 3. Try to restart Windows. 3. Please re-download PicturesToExe again from our website and install. 4. If it doesn't help, update drivers for your video card from Windows Update center to download & install manually new drivers from NVIDIA/AMD/Intel website (depending on vendor of the video card). And try again to run PicturesToExe.

Xaver, Also I'll fix this problem for AVI video output. This problem exists only in v7.5. In previous v7.0 AVI video output didn't have this problem.

Xaver, Strange problem. I installed XVID official codec, but I can't create AVI file with external XVID coder - video file doesn't play. I'll try with VirtualDub tomorrow. Please can you check up with external AVI coder in previous v7.0? To compare result. Just only one test.

Xaver, I confirm problem with created MPEG4 video file in AVI format (built-in coder).

Xaver, I'll check up at home with my digital projector Epson TW2000. It allows to precisely measure black level and see even slight difference. Several years ago I tested H.264 video output and DVD output for correct black level on screen. I'll do same test for MPEG4 videos.

Maureen, Thanks for this beauty!

Peter, We fixed both problems.

Xaver, We solved this problem today. Please wait for final version 7.5.3 on this week.

Yes, I think it's exactly same problem! When we prepare an updated version, please try it.

Hello Peter, Thanks, I confirm this defect. I just checked up - PicturesToExe will remember this setting if you return to normal view and then close PicturesToExe. But I agree - it's also a bug. P.S. This part of PicturesToExe was completely rewritten in version 7.5. A lot of new code.
