Jeff i believe i found with ver 5 to rename the files in the right window and then originals get changed as well ken

John your question on the forum re monitor size kind of piqued my interest and the other day i got a chart in a magazine that showed optimum distance to view -- but ARTICLE was not available on the web if you are planning for the future why would you not get a ws lcd TV big enough to put on wall for all the club members to see -- i think some of the current sets will take a computer input, and i think it would be a whole lot cheaper to run than a a/v projector - so did a search and came up with a few links JUST AN IDEA FROM THE COLONY:) KEN http://www.bestbuy.ca/learnmore/BuyersGuid...=&langid=EN Calculate the optimal viewing distance for your TV by Edmund Tinblock Copyright © 2006 Best Buy Canada Is a bigger TV always better? A 60" TV really doesn't look that great if you're sitting only four feet away. Plus, it'll probably give you a headache. Your viewing experience is affected not only by the size of your TV, but also how far away you sit. So just what is the ideal TV viewing distance? The answer? It depends. If you have a large TV, you will be able to sit farther back than you can with a smaller TV. And, thanks to the high level of detail provided by high definition (HD), you can sit closer to an HDTV than you can to a standard set. The important point is this: to get the most out of your TV, you need to get the right size to fit in your viewing space. Avoid side effects The main problem with sitting too close to certain LCD TVs (flat-panel and rear-projection) is that you'll be able to see the individual pixels that make up an image, a phenomenon called the 'screen door' effect. You may also experience fatigue and eye discomfort if you sit too close, particularly if you have a tube (CRT) TV. A screen that's too small or too far away will just be frustrating to watch, since you won't see all the details. You may also tire out your eyes by having to squint constantly. Calculate the right viewing distance To find out how far away you should be sitting from the TV screen, you just need to do a little math. For standard TVs, multiply the screen size by 3. For HDTVs, multiply by 2.5. See the table below for some examples. Screen Size Viewing Distance Standard TVs HDTVs 27" 81" (6'9") 68" (5'8") 32" 96" (8') 80" (6'8") 37" 111" (9'3") 93" (7'9") 42" 126" (10'6") 105" (8'9") 50" 150" (12'6") 125" (10'5") 60" 180" (15') 150" (12'6") This also works in reverse. If you know you have eight feet (96") between where you want to sit and the front of the screen, divide by 3 to find out the screen size of the standard TV you should be getting or 2.5 if you're looking at an HDTV. http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.co...g-distance.html Viewing Distance Calculator http://www.myhometheater.homestead.com/vie...calculator.html UK's biggest and best home cinema discussion forums and audio visual home consumer electronics resource. http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=312431

BRIAN quote by Peter "I have an Acer laptop which has the ATI Radeon X1300 graphics. It seems to handle my PTE v5 animations OK." all i said was Carol had not complained the point you missed tho' -- Carol is not planning on panning/zooming at this point so the HP needed to do a basic fade show is small -- all she need 5 for is for the menu. I expect once she gets rolling she will experiment and am quite sure she will advise us any hiccups ken

Brian, she as been playing the v5 shows posted and never complained also a dream thread that got lost in all the updates can be found here -- some background what we have gone thru - and you will see names we never see anymore http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...;f=4&t=1350 ken

A LITTLE BACkGROUND ON THE BLONDE back in the early days Carol was one of the first to produce vcd/svcd to play on her ws tv and readily communicated her findings - very easy to find her postings via the search but she has had a few other personal projects and she has not been contibuting. I have been trying to keep her up to date by sending links to posted shows ken
