Sorry for delay in replying, I have now found the reason for 52 sec. I made a show of 13 slides at 4 sec. display therefoe52sec duration, I then added music of 2 min 50sec and pressed sync slides to music. In preview mode the shoe lasted 2 min 50 so I tried to burn to DVD and also AVI but both would only burn for 52 secs. When I opened the timeline it showed slide duration as 4 sec each, so I increased slide duration to 13 secs. I.e. 2min 49 duration. Unchecked the sync to music box and then burned a DVD to full duration with perfect result. I thought that checking the sync to music automatically changed the slide display time. George

Thanks Tom Have tried but can not install 8b it goes through the setup but still shows V 8a and still will not go longer than 52 secs. George

I have tried to burn a DVD in PTE5 8a but can only get up to 52 secs. No matter what I try I cannot increase this time, this also applies when I try an AVI file. Is there a setting I am missing to give me more time? George

Hi All It works fine on my machine which is a Matrox G 450, and a screen res. of 1280 X 1024. There is a slight jekiness on scrolling down the tree but not enough to be offputting. George Add correction it is a Matrox G 550 card. George

I have a Matrox G450 card whih is not shown above. George

Come on you guys, what are you moaning about? I use an Athlon AMD XP2100+, 1Gb ram and a Matrox Millenniums G450 graphics card with dual screen display and have NO trouble with running Peace, The only thing I have is a slight stutter between Budda and the butterfly. Give Maureen a break she has done a tremendous job of putting a wonderful show together. George

Just watched "Peace", fantastic show, Well done everybody who contributed. George

Many thanks to Ken Ron & Ed I agree with your wife Ed, a lot of people will not know how to change these settings even after reading the manual, I didn’t. Following your step by step instructions made it easy and it now works fine. Once again thanks Ron With eleven granddaughters one can only be named grumpy. Happy new year to all George

You will find also that the drop down menu which Dave has mentioned contains some other useful features such as "Open Picture". This comes in handy when you spot something in the picture which needs correcting. In my system it opens the image in Photoshop. Correct-Save-Close and you are back in PTE with the image as you want it. Hi Ron How do you get to open in Photoshop? Mine only opens in MS Photo editor. Thanks George

Just tried the new effects, wonderful. Many thanks Igor for a fantastic product. George.

When openingPTE and clicking the Make Video only half a box appears on screen, what am I doing wrong?
