  2. PTE to MPG2

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks for your reply Ken, but either I am not explaining myself very well or you have missed the point of my question. My question was about the technical capabilities of PTE not how to produce mpg files. I have been producing slide shows in Slide/Tape and digital formats for several years now using video editing software and latterly PTE and have tried ProShow Gold the use of which led to me asking the question. PTE's output is in my opinion superior to ProShow Gold but should you wish to view your work using a standalone DVD player and TV set, then PTE's approach is long winded compared to ProShow. However I am hopefull that at some point the mpg facility will be available in PTE.

    With regard to VirtualDub (which just works with avi files) and VirtualDubMod (which recognises mpg and avi files) there are excellent articles and tutorials available at

    http://www.doom9.org and http://www.videohelp.com/

    VirtualDub will also act as a frameserving app for PTE's avi output.

    Regards

  3. PTE to MPG2

    Ken as I was asking what I felt was a question about the technical aspects of PTE and not asking how to create mpgs and DVDs (which I have been doing for quite some time now). I felt that this was the correct section of the forum to ask my question. I have read what has been said in the links you posted, and am pleased to hear that admin is giving this feature active consideration. I realise that most who use PTE do so to create EXE files and in this it is second to none. My point is that should people wish to output in different formats (ie to view on TV) most would have mpg1 or mpg2 (VCD SVCD and DVD) as their prefered choice. If size of PTE is a consideration then maybe the intermediate stage of avi output should be dropped in favour of mpg as avi files can easily be created from mpg's using the excellent (and free) VirtualDubMod.

    regards

  4. PTE to MPG2

    I know that there is a next version wish-list thread (which I have included a plea for mpg output) but I thought I would see if there was any reason why PTE does not output mpg2 files direct instead of the very flakey avi frame serving route to be then converted in yet another app to mpg2. Is there a copyright issue with the mpg format. I would dearly love to see this included in PTE as this as far as I can see is its major weakness against ProSow Gold which outputs to several formats including exe and mpg2. What do admin and others think?

    No I just create the avi file with VirtualDub then you can create DVD from any DVD authoring app that you prefer, instead of Ulead, or Pinnacle(always found this very buggy)

    VirtualDub can be obtained from here http://www.virtualdub.org/ the mod version can be found at

    http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/ this handles mpeg filesas well as avi.

    Good tutorials on VirtualDub and video in general can be found here http://www.videohelp.com/

    Hope this helps

  8. My First upload

    My American Cemetery slideshow has been downloaded 140 times, but I have had very little feedback. I hope that this doesn't mean that I have offended people with this show. It is not a political statement in any way, just my impressions of Madingley. If anyone has been offended please accept my apologies.

  11. Smoothing lines ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi this is my first post on this forum, what value do people use for the smoothing lines option. Left at the default 60 some slides tend too jump into view to quickly when using fade transition's setting the value to 100 seems to help, but what if any are the penalties for doing this. Good forum and great prog

    thanks
