Hello Roger, In our club ( Leyland Photograhic Society ) our projected images are 1400 X 1050 px. I don't see why it will not see an AVI in 1920 x 1200 which is 16:10 format. That format is certainly becoming more & more popular as members get wide screen monitors. It is also a format I have seen projected in other clubs. That rule in our handbook is I think an outdated rule that goes back to Noah's days. We, have in the last few weeks bought a brand new Canon projector for the club, I am pretty sure that will project it no bother. If it does so then I will have a word with the committee, to get that rule amended, not just for AVIs but for any projected image. If it wont project it, then I fear we have bought a duff projector. Anyway it will stay in 16:10 format, until I find out. Thank you anyway for pointing that out, we meet on Wednesday evening at our club. If they say no then I will withdraw this presentation from the competition. Thank you for your interest Ken

Sorry I meant pixels per inch when opening a new document from RAW, not DPI

Thank you PGA I am always willing to learn not so much Photography, but anything PTE related I am just a beginner with that.

Thanks lads, I am very much a photographer 1st, PTE is at the moment a bit out of my comfort zone but I am learning to use it better these days. I am not well up on Audacity though yet , not sure how to join up tracks, however now I know that can be done, I will now try find out how its done. I always expected to have to rework this presentation, I did make some quite fundamental errors, like each slide is actually 300 dpi when they should have been 72 dpi, That accounts for its hefty size, the music is almost there but next the one I will I will drop 'Memories' I will also get rid of a couple of images that are not quite up to par. The good thing is I released it early enough to do that, before the competition at my photographic society. Thanks for your interest folks, I will try to keep you all posted. Ken

Thank you Roger, you are the second person to raise that point about the music, I will be modifying the show for the competition, taking in some of the points raised. Thank you for taking an interest Ken

Heres my new venture into uploading AVI presentations to beechbrook.com I have actually created it for my Photographic Societies annual AVI comp. Most of it was photographed at Riverside Steam and Vintage fair, near Southport Lancashire,UK in just the one day. A few files were from another steam fair a few miles away. I love these steam fairs, the atmosphere is wonderful, I love these old machines, the thing that stands out is the amount of TLC that goes into preserving them, There are always a few old fairground organs, scattered around the event, so most of the day, wherever you are you can here one, belting out their melodies.That is why I have added their unmistakable tunes to the AVI. A steam fair would NOT be a steam fair without them. Anyway I hope you like the presentation, if you dont please let me know, I still have time to fine tune this show before entering it into the competition. Ken Birch Coal, Steam and Soot
