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.

Jose, 1. The idea is really interesting, but I can't answer now. Please create a new topic for image stabilization in "Ideas and suggestions for next versions". 2. Audio code is AC3, 256 kbit. 3. For video we use "Quality" parameter which PicturesToExe calculates to bitrate taking in attention width & height of video. When you save JPEG images you also use "Quality" paramter. With same "Quality" value you get different file size of JPEG for large and small images. You can use video editor to convert video to MPEG4 video file for best playback in PicturesToExe. When you include video file to EXE file, PicturesToExe does not convert anymore source video file. We add all effects, 3D, mixing with still images on the fly in real time.

Geoff, We finally reproduced this problem on one of our PCs! Thanks for sample EXE files! We're working on the solution right now. Thanks again!

Judy, Please click "More info" link on the SmartScreen. Then you will able to run a slideshow. This situation occurs if you download EXE show from Internet in Windows 8. If you run EXE from USB drive - no problem. Or create EXE and run on same PC - no warnings. In version 7.5 we suggest a new output option "Safe executable file for Internet". The EXE comes with a digital signature of WnSoft and SmartScreen warning does not appear.

Geoff, Yes, please can you check up memory usage for this AV show?

Geoff, Ok, I'll run these shows on several computers tomorrow. Our office doesn't work today yet.
