We have tried to get members to post in the proper area many times -- not too much success i'm afraid ken

for starters Leonard see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3943 and http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....amp;#entry25500 this is some of the testing that is ongoing -- it has kind of slowed down at the present time because of the status of the program beta's Al and myself have burned Hawk's test files to verify there is a problem with the 16:9 feature using the dvd builder --- i did it following a step by step discussion with hawk via msn messenger at noon today. The other day while in discussion With Maureen via msn messenger she said she was in the process of putting up her new webpage where there is a wealth of info http://www.maureenalbright.com/home.htm also Roger "CONTAXMAN" Walton has info on his site http://www.bishopthorpe-camera-club.com/Re...s/resources.htm the resources by members are plentiful -- when Igor ever gets caught up he plans on an info section where all these gems can be accessed easily ken

"How to produce high quality video CD/DVDs" well Leonard, it was not in the proper section "How to create video" that section was instituted in 2003 when Igor first allowed us to make vcd,svcd and a very few members -- dvd's I try not to answer threads that are not properly posted in the proper area-- it makes things so much easier when searching things out within the forum - I have developed my own faq file over the years and it is very difficult keeping things orderly ken

Al Robinson, Hawk and I had a discussion the other day re burning dvd/cd's -- we were trying to sort out the problems people are having with the new dvd builder option. PC WORLD Jan 2007 has this to offer http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127828-page,1/article.html if you cant get to the page i can email it KEN

This has been around the forum many times -- it follows the "what screen resolution, what size should should my picts be " questions that are continually brought up. SEE COMPARE VIEWING TV VS MONITOR http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=CO...earch&meta= http://tech.yahoo.com/gd/viewing-digital-v...-versus-tv/2467 http://www.masternewmedia.org/2005/06/04/i...evision_key.htm http://www.dlptvreview.com/dlptv/dlptelevision.html Although Wayne Fulton's site is called scantips http://www.scantips.com/ he has a wealth of info re the whole graphics scene as well he has a test Video Screen Resolution Poll - Which settings do we use? See a NEW popularity survey of your video screen resolution settings Hi END TV sets have evolved to the point of taking computer signals, memory cards etc and putining them on the screen -- and the images are great -- without having a monitor and one of the big sets side by side or in the same room to compare, it is hard to say which is best -- likely the monitor due to the size -- but one does not have a problem reading normal text on a normal tv -- tv stations format for the tv - graphics boards have been available for many years that take a tv signal input - standard and svhs and put on the monitor screen --- but if the signal is not strong the results are the same as would be on the tv - garbage in garbage out ken

Leonard if somebody makes an incorrect statement in the op inst's they have written, Igor or other members quickly point out the error. we learn by doing ken

this program changes so rapidly that it is nearly impossible to write a proper manual what is imperative tho' is to read all threads [RAT] in all sections not just the ones that appeal to your interests when ver 5 beta came out members had wrote manuals within a day that would get one started as well as Igor wrote one with the the beta that is still a valid document as members learn how to do things they advise the forum ronwil had a show up in less than 15 days quote May 8 2006, 04:31 AM Having completed now the conversion of an analogue sequence into PTE v 4.47 for a memorial presentation tomorrow afternoon, I have started to experiment with v.5.0 beta#2. However, I am finding it difficult making any progress as we appear to be woefuly short of instructions. Lin has provided a useful introductory tutorial so that one can get the feel of the new programme, but all the demo sequences appear to have been made by members with far more knowledge than seems to be available "in print". For instance my panoramas operate only from "right to left", my zooms only "in" and how do you make an add-on image, such as a title, operate independently of the main image. Am I to assume that those of you who have been successful in mastering this beta find it similar in its application to other software which you may have used. I appreciate that this is a beta and I know I am in my dotage, but I do like to keep abreast of developments. Ron [uK] ken

hate to play devil's advocAte but "contains a java script" how many people block scripts in their fear of all the "bad " things they heard about it or their sys admin has turned it off? when you have people that have problems example cant get a cd to play and now you are asking them to turn on the features that are turned off for their protection - are we opening another can of worms when MS brought out IE 5, due to all the whining that was going on at the time, they turned off all the plugins that allowed people to view pages the way they were designed -Netsacape, Apple etc plugins - i could not even view MSN pages properly and even they did not know why -- i had to install SUN'S Java package to view things as they were made and quite quickly advised them of the fix -- within 2 weeks +- there was another version of IE 5 issued with smarts issued -- i have never disabled Sun's product - MS's product is turned off Personally i think the little popups are great-- they save me time -- but i have a vague idea of what is going on -- what about the person that does not how to start a cd if it doesn't have "autorun"? see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouseover ken

Seeeing as Al started the ws thread many moons ago and Al, myself and the "hawk" have caused the dvd makers to put on an xtra shift to supply our needs of dvd's , i have to agree with Al. He has widescreen and a projector at home , Hawk drives to his daughter's to use her ws plasma, and I head for my dealer to use their numerous screens -- including a 100"/dvd/projector setup. we 3 have tried to inform the forum of all our findings and what we are up against -- Al hand delivered DVD's to me from him and Hawk on his journey south last year and I verified what they were seeing at my dealer"s place of business as well as testing them at friends home's that have ws tv's we have discussed different pixels topics many times and lets face it,we are not Hollywood or the BBC -- we are doing the best we can with the tools we have. I spend a lot of time going to tv dealers and look for "shimmer" etc on te screens -- they have the same problems we have - - the difference being TV VS MONITOR VIEWING as one member used to say "think outside the box" ken
