Igor

In beta 11 we corrected this registration URL and page will be opened already with choosed "Upgrade to Deluxe".

Mary, Excuse me, I forgot to send a free key to you. I already sent 26 keys to beta-testers. I just refunded your order. And sent free reg. key for VideoBuilder. Thank you. Howard, I just sent again your registration key for VideoBuilder. Raymond, I just refunded your mistaken order for PicturesToExe. Please order again "Upgrade to Deluxe". I already sent you reg. key for VideoBuilder. p.s. the problem with loading of reg. key happens because some antiviruses embed reg.txt file of a key to body of letter and mistakenly remove last symbol of a key (double quote). I promiss that we will solve this problem and will make registration process more simple and without troubles.

Jeff, It will possible in beta 10 or beta 11. Excuse us, that we missed this moment. Lin, We'll correct slide numeration from 1 for "Got to slide ..." function (instead of 0 in beta 10) v5.00 is very complex product. I work every day with my large todo list and add/remove groups of ten of records: check up feature, fix bug, add new feature, write email, think how improve some feature, etc. Sometimes I can miss some moment, sorry. Because of this I so appreciate help of members of this forum.

Dear Alain, I very appreciate your help and work to make PicturesToExe better! I'll try to reproduce these problems after 3 day's holidays (in my country).

Beta version of PicturesToExe doesn't register .pte extension for PicturesToExe. You can register .pte extension manually. Using Window Explore, right click on .pte file, Open As/Open with help and choose PTE.

Thank you, I added your suggestion to TODO list. I hope it will be possible, or maybe not, because you see that we wrote own file tree to speed up work of this control.

After reading this topic we can suggest two features which can be implemented in the nearest beta of v5.00 1) "Stop at the end of a slide" option in slide properties window. In this case you can easily realize menu or waiting until user press Next slide key or button. This option will work only when "Synchronize slides and music" option disabled. 2) "Repeat slide" option in slide properties window. As above option, it is same thing, but animation of slide will repeat from beginning of a slide. It maybe useful for organizing animated menu (e.g. slide 1) and main slides of a slide show (e.g. 2nd and next slides).

Dave, I just sent again your VideoBuilder registration key. p.s. in the next beta 11 we'll improve loader of registration key.

John, In such cases (non-linear Panning) please use only Bicubic (not Bicubic Sharper) resizing and don't apply Unsharp mask. Maybe it's necessary even apply slight Blur filter.

Since v5.00 and new registration keys we discard this limitation. New Standard and Deluxe licenses for v5.00 can be used for any purpose for one person or one PC.

Since v5.00 Beta 9 we use DirectSound technology instead of WaveOut earlier in music player. Probably it works more reliable in some situations.

With help of Lin Evans, we found today that some antiviruses remove last double quote from reg. key file. It's a reason why key arrives damaged! We'll try to analyze key file and recover it.

No plans at this moment, sorry.

volker, Thanks, both moments will be realized in beta 11 bjc, I'm grateful for your response! I think that we realized two variants. Quick presets - for beginners. And fine adjusting with own speed parameters for profi. Every user will choose his favourite way. We're discussed two years non-linear speeds and interface of this window and it's the best solution we found. And we would not limit professionals and provide them all necessary tools. I almost didn't work on speed paramters. My colleague Sergey wrote this code for me.

We already wrote main code for adding of MPEG2 files to VideoBuilder, but we don't have enough time for testing it right now, it may delay release of v5.00. So it will be activated in the next version 5.1

What version of PicturesToExe you currently use? I think the problem in incorrect device choosed as primary device for sound output. Please check settings in Control Panel -> Sound and audio devices -> Audio tab. Try latest v5.00 beta 10: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr-deluxe_beta.zip (4 MB)

I've updated my PteShow demo slide show and included Navigation bar. All text labels created in PicturesToExe using text objects in Objects and Animation editor. EXE file: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/PteShow.zip (8 MB) Source files of this project: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/PteShow_sources.zip (8 MB) Try also new Copyright logo/image feature. This image stays over all slides and especially semi-transparent PNG gives excellent effect.

Excuse us for this problem! I just sent the key again in ZIP archive.

Richard, We'll try to solve with problem with fast slides in beta 11. It is only a logical problem.

Al, We solved that problem with synchronization of second music track. Please try and let me know. Lin, We also found solution for the problem when sound card returned wrong time values. Now no problem with smoothness, I hope.

PicturesToExe Deluxe v5.00 Beta 10: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr-deluxe_beta.zip (4 MB) New features in v5.00 New features in Beta 10: + You can adjust non-linear speeds (Accelerate, Smooth, etc) for Pan/Zoom/Rotate effects. + Navigation bar works again. - New view of Navigation bar with shadow. - Many new parameters. - Fade in/out effects. + Copyright/logo image can be added again. + Tiled image background works again. + "Display slides in random order" option works again. + Mouse cursor option (autohide, hide, always show) work again. + Pause function. + Space key and Ctrl-P for Pause in a slide show. + Activated actions on Button click: home, next slide, previous slide, go to slide, help, print, exit, pause. Actions for Text/Image objects will be added in beta 11. * Fixed possible problem with smoothness of Pan/Zoom effects which could appear in previous beta 9. * Fixed problem of previous beta versions when sometimes on closing of a slide show sound "click" might occur. * Improved reliability of VideoBuilder during burning of DVD disc. In this beta "Run application" actions for object still don't work - it will be possible in beta 11. In this Beta VideoBuilder requires registration key. You can buy upgrade on our web site. We will send tomorrow free registration keys for VideoBuilder to all beta-testers who sent us at least one bug report. Thank you.

Dear Dominique, Excellent news!

Please wait for beta 11

Thanks! Ok, we'll leave this question to next version with more right name. Now I leave this name for this option: "Synchronize slides and music".

I'm think it's too large image. 18245 x 2415 image = 18245 x 2415 x 4 bytes per pixel = 176 MB in video memory.
