I noticed this beta update and I'm very pleased with the result so far. But talking about sound/voice I would appreciate the fact if it would be possible to have the ability to use multiple sound/voice channels comparable with what M.Objects is providing. In that case we will be able to assign multiple music channels and and have a separate channel for voice fragments that can be alligned with the slides. I'm not a programmer and therefore not completely aware of the technical possibility to implement this . Thanks, Rudy

Today I had some time to test my presentation again and I want to share my experiences, maybe someone can benefit from it. I had still two problem area's, one repetitive slide and one slide that waited to long before transitioning to the next. Thanks to this forum I was able to solve both problems The repetitive slide was due to transitions coming too close together, solved thanks to Alrobin. The long transition time between two slides was due to a switch between two MP3 music files, it took a while before the second music file started to play. JJR suggested to combine the multiple MP3 files to one, and Guru showed me where to find Audacity. With one MP3 sound track everything works like expected, guys again thanks for your support. Kind regards, Rudy

I'm really a beginner in this, sorry for that. Guru, Thanks for the information and for noticing the fact that there was an error in my email address, it should work now. I will try Audacity when I have some more time, work you know! Alrobin, Surprise, surprise, I just checked my installation again and guess what. Yes, if I press the "?" button I see also the long message you mentioned. I had no change to see if the presentation is running well, so I don't know yet. I think that the reason is because the difference between 4.20 BETA and the real 4.20 version of pictures to exe. Yesterday I did an upgrade to the final 4.20 version and tried to run my presentation without completely booting my system, probably this caused al my troubles. I hope it will work now. But just in case Alrobin, what do you mean with the .pte file ? Is this the executable ? Thanks for all the help I have received from you all and sorry again for the trouble, Rudy

JRR, I don't know the software you mentioned, but I will try it tomorrow or the day after. It is almost midnight here in Belgium, and tomorrow is another working day. The individual files are between 100 and 200 kb, except one of them that is about 900 kb. I will resize that image and try again. Thanks for your help so far, Rudy

JRR, My working method is in fact comparable with yours, it seems like there is a timing conflict in my presentation. Maybe it has something to do with the switch from one music track to the other. Also if I change the timing points, the error occurs on other slides than before. Alrobin, I'm using a registered version of PicturesToExe v4.20. So far my presentation contains 75 slides, and I use slow transitions as well as fast transitions. All transition effects are fade-in/out. Kind regards, Rudy

Thanks for the warm welcome alrobin. Yes I have added two MP3 music files, but as indicated by the question mark I can not control the presentation with the synchronisation function. Without the synchronisation function, but with separate settings per slide the presentation runs fine. I hope that this can be solved because real synchronisation with the music would improve the presentation. Kind regards, Rudy

Hi, I have the same problems with the slide transitions as mentioned by "Severn Bore" . My hardware configuration is the following : - Hardware : DELL Dimension 4500 - Operating System : Windows XP, service pack 1 - Internal memory : 512 MB - Disc space 80 GB - PicturesToExe v4.20 In addition I have noticed a question mark next to the "synchronize slide show and music duration" check box. If I click on the question mark a message appears telling me that it is not possible to control the presentation. Maybe it has something to do with that. I would be very thankful if anyone could help me out with this problem, I'm currently creating a presentation for school and it would be embarrassing for me not to be able to show it. Kind regards, Rudy
