Ken, VideoBuilder as any burning program asks DVD media for a list of possible speeds. If you can't choose some speed, it means that this particular DVD media, or DVD writer don't support this speed of burning.

Maybe problem in Nero Vision in this particular case? Although I successfully burned AVI with Nero Vision. But if you could create normal DVD from AVI in VideoBuilder it means that it works.

VideoBuilder detects maximal burn speed for current DVD writer and DVD media. For example 2,4X and 4X. But you can set 2,4X if you prefer burn disc on lower speed. Sorry if I didn't understand your question.

We plan to release v5.00 soon (in two weeks). If problems with AVI video output still exist, please reply me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I will know now about this moment with network drives. It's not your mistake, I didn't expect that this problem may occur, but probably some network drive may work slowely or chipset on motheboard or network drivers have some problem.

Den, For me it's always useful to learn which problems may occur on PCs of users of PicturesToExe, because not only you could have similar difficulty. Thank you for let me know. If it possible please tell in more details. Did you create EXE file with slide show on network drive and run it? Or you created project which used images from network drive and then pressed Preview button?

Thank you! If you use 800x600 images which have 4:3 aspect ration it better to set 4:3 in Screen tab of Project options. And yes, on your display (16:10 = 1440x900) you will see black strips.

Eric, I just sent you email.

Thanks! I'm glad. However it's a strange problem. This Network Attached Storage doesn't cache read operations. We wrote own memory manager for read requests and it speeded up reading EXIF information in JPEG files.

Please try PicturesToExe Deluxe v5.00 Beta 16: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr-deluxe.zip (4 MB)

Please try PicturesToExe Deluxe v5.00 Beta 16: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr-deluxe.zip (4 MB)

PicturesToExe Deluxe v5.00 Beta 16: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr-deluxe.zip (4 MB) (It's a fully functional version 5.0 with all features included.) New features in v5.00 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4327 What new in Beta 16 + Added global option "Allow modification of EXE file with slide show" (Main menu | View | Advanced). This option disabled (by default) and if EXE file with slide show damaged or infected, it will warn that slide show damaged and will not run. When this option enabled, you can use EXE packer/crypors to pack or additionally protect EXE file. * Fixed several bugs in slide show engine and in main program. Please post bug-reports in special topic: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6455

Eric, Please try encode this slide show: "NoResizing" - http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/NoResizing.zip (1.5 MB) If result still bad, send me rendered MPEG2 file (it should be about 15 MB). I don't understand why it doesn't work, I just burned successfully AVI file in Nero Vision and all is OK. Try to burn your project in VideoBuilder (Video button in main window, then Create DVD disc).

Try uncheck option "Use hardware acceleration in Editor and Video" (Main menu | View | Advanced). Will it help?

Eric, I forgot to ask: What exact problem happens. I don't understand. Please, no need to compare virtual AVI file and rendered AVI file. Synchronization will be perfect when you encode this virtual AVI file to other format.All current betas of v5.00 already includes VideoBuilder.

Please let me know: 1) Does this problem happen with all projects? If only with one particular project, please send me source files. 2) Does this problem happen only when you import AVI file to Sony Vegas or even when you try to play AVI file in media player? 3) What version of Sony Vegas you have installed? 4) When you discovered this problem (since particular beta version?) 5) Try temporarily disable option "Use hardware acceleration in Editor and Video" (in Main menu -> View -> Advanced). And add AVI file to Sony Vegas again. Thanks,

Eric, 1) Please try this beta http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_nas4.zip (without VideoBuilder) 2) If this special beta didn't help, try temporarily disable option "Use hardware acceleration in Editor and Video" (Main menu | View | Advanced). How it will work now? Please also let me know: - What beta version of PicturesToExe you installed? - Version of Windows - Video card installed on your PC.

I'm very grateful you for your patience! Now I found exact reason of this problem and we'll try to rework new EXIF module which caused this problem. I'll upload beta 16 tomorrow. Please let me know how it will work.

Thank you very much! I reproduced this problem with your EXE files and we will this problem tomorrow in beta 16. Also I found another bug - there were no black strips on my display (1024x768), although your slide show has aspect ratio 16:10. We'll fix this bug, too. Both problem exists when "Hardware acceleration" option is turned off.

I almost found code where this problem occurs. Please try this beta 16 NAS4 http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_nas4.zip If it will work fine, we found reason of this problem and will rewrite one small module.

Thank you for the help! Please try this beta 16 NAS3: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_NAS3.zip (2 MB)

Lin, OK, probably in the next version 5.1

Paul, I just sent you personal message via forum. Please send me both EXE files - "My P2E Presentations.exe" and "Project1.exe" where I can reproduce this problem. With these files we easily find and fix this bug.

Please try beta 16 NAS2: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_29-05-2007.zip (4 MB)

Slide show tries to find EXE file in current folder where located main slide show (menu).
