I'll be out of office for 2 weeks from July 27 to August 9 to visit several events in Estonia and spend some time in Finland, Sweden and Norway. Indeed I didn't plan my vacation before final release of version 7.0, but I have to visit Estonia and it's more easy continue my trip to nearest countries with open visas. I bring apologies for a delay with the release date and delays with my replies on the forum and emails. In my absence my colleagues should finish video convertor for version 7.0 and probably we will able adapt slideshow's engine (executables) for Mac with all features of version 7.0. Good news are that we even started work on following version 7.5 and already finished one major improvement. Future version will be a great step in evolution of PicturesToExe.

Thanks! I understand importance of it. Probably Windows software will completely migrate to managed code that solves problem 32-bit vs 64-bit Currently we can't easily migrate to 64-bit. Legacy of old code.

Currently almost all software are 32-bit. Windows will support 32-bit executables many years. I think you needn't worry about this. Slideshows rarely require memory larger than 2 GB. Also producing of two files (for 32-bit and 64-bit) can make a mess for many users.

Hello, Please send me source files of this project or executable file with show which does not play. I'll check up for this problem. You can use www.mediafire.com free service to upload files and then send me personal message with a download link.

Thank you very much! It will be a text field on the order page. A customer can type his answer. For example: "Where did you hear about this software?" -> "A friend"

Please could you help me with a translation of a text line to different languages for our order page. Where you heard about this software? (English text probably requires a correction). Thanks in advance!

Yes, I just received a confirmation from Avast:

Thanks, Phil! I'm also awaiting response from Avast.

Thank you very much for the report! It's very important for us. I just sent a complaint to Avast. To all users. If you're using Avast antivirus, please send a report on this case to Avast - www.avast.com It will help speed up solving of this problem. Thanks in advance!

We still can't exactly hear this audio delay. 1. Can you please prepare another sample video where I could find exact "marks" for synchronization? For example, voice starts exactly with a flash of white rectangle. 2. Time position where you find audio delay (and value of time day, for example 1 second). 3. Do you observe time delay in both cases - start of a show from beginning and after rewinding? Thanks,

Barry, Thank you for the file! I've reproduced this problem which occurs under OS X 10.6 (no problem with 10.5.x). This bug related with this particular MP3 file. If I remove it or replace to another MP3 file, the shows starts sucessfully. What software you've used to encode this MP3 file? There are two variants - bug in code of PicturesToExe or this audio file is damaged.

Dave, Thanks for sample show and project file. I've tested "HAY 11_6_25 for MAC7.zip" show for Mac and I confirm this problem. This problem happens only in version 7.0 Beta because the show has enabled the navigation bar. It's a known issue with current beta versions. To solve this problem, please turn off "Show Navigation bar" option in the Project options, the Main tab. And then create executable for Mac again. To avoid similar problems, since Beta 14 we will automatically disable navigation bar option for Mac while this feature is not finished for Mac.

FFMpeg library supports transparent video in FLV format. We will implement playback of 32-bit video clips in following version(s).

Barry, Please give me a link to sample show which causes this issue. And if it possible, ask these users what version of OSX installed on their Mac computers. Thanks,

PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.0 Beta 13 is available now. Download link in the first post above. List of changes: + Added "Privacy" option for publication on YouTube. You can mark you show as public or private. * Fixed problems with playback of some H.264 clip (green picture instead of video, or A/V synchronization issues). * Improved stability of PicturesToExe. * Improved compatibility with DVD writers in VideoBuilder. * Fixed issues with playback of AVI video clips from Samsung VP-MX10 camera. P.S. The following Beta 14 will include built-in video convertor (which works under Standard license and doesn't require Deluxe license).

Thanks for your patience. I'm very glad that this problem is resolved now!

Hello Diana, I apologize that you didn't receive your license key and replies! But we already replied on your support requests. Here are two tickets with your requests and our answers: July 5, 2011 Ticket ID: 2YBANP4Q8B http://www.picturestoexe.com/support/ticket.php July 13, 2011 Ticket ID: NBXDMM79D7 http://www.picturestoexe.com/support/ticket.php (Please enter this URL in a browser and submit ticket id) You can see that we replied in time for both requests. Probably our emails arrived to a spam folder in your mailbox? We use different servers for sending license keys and for sending replies on support tickets. It strange that both emails didn't arrive. We'll send you license key again to your email address and a copy by personal message on the forum. Please let me know when you receive it.

Dave, Thanks for Mac file. And I'm waiting for project file. I'll check up today later.

Hello Dave, Please send me Mac executable file and single .pte project file, I'll check up. Currently slideshow engine for Mac in version 7.0 Beta same as in version 6.5. It should work when Navigation bar is turned off. Also there is another known bug that a show with startup window doesn't work on Mac.

Simply re-install version 6.5 to restore file association for projects. All other settings will be kept untouched.

There is an article called "Diaporama" in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaporama which tells shortly about audio visual art: There is also another article "Audio Visual" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio-visual which doesn't provide more information. It would be wonderful if somebody could extend these articles with more detailed information regarding AV events, people and organizations in the UK and France (and other countries). I'd happy add a link to such article from our website to explain new users what is audio visual art.

Hello, We've sent you the key!

Tom, I tried open the file from your 1st post in Media Player Classic HomeCinema and in GomPlayer. Both players don't recognize this video clip.

Hello Mark, Please excuse me for late response! Could you send me this exe file with your show (which doesn't start) and source files of the project in ZIP archive (or at least single project file)? I'll check up what could cause this problem and then find a solution. To upload files I recommend to use www.mediafire.com service.

Hello, Please send me this WMV video file, if it possible. We'll check to find reason of this problem. You can use www.mediafire.com free upload service and then send a personal message with URL to download file.
