well now have you the p2e help file and have read this thread How to prepare and burn DVD-Video or SVCD disc, Quick tutorial http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1408 or this http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1350 ken

PHIL aint it great when a plan comes together ? ken

Malcolm It does not affect it using the slideshow feature of dvdsanta - pan and zoom enabled -- it is a subtle and smooth action ken

see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=3413 I think one of the biggest problems that users face is not letting p2e do its thing if you have the computing power experiment -- push your system to the limit to see what it will do my experimenting has ended up with exe's>200 mb --i have never seen a show much larger then 50 meg's on the various dl'd sites why do something that is not req'd -- resize etc time is time -- there are only so many hours in a day and you have to use the available time efficiently the experimentation uses time but in the long run you will be ahead of the game because you will not be doing unnecessary things -- you will have more time for your creativity to surface once the exe is complete, it is done and the cpu use is minimal -- use the taskmon and see what performance tab is telling you ken

Dave Bill has had a problem with his "new show posted" thing not working properly. He is trying to get it fixed. Ken

did you try importing the avi to your dvd burning software with my nero, roxio, windvd etc software you have to have dvd selected and a dvd blank disc in the burner drive for the process to start doing things got stung this morn myself with nero -- had dvd selected when i wanted to copy a cd there are are a lot of things going on in the background so make sure everything is set right failing that go out and buy nero 6.6 suite and your friendly computer store --my copy was $90 + 15% tax your bundled software will be a "lite" version and wont have all the smarts of a full suite ken

elijah the current cost of disc's is the same -- when buying a 100 disc spindle on sale -- name brand -- maxell for example -- cd or dvd's are +- $40/100 + taxes in Canada. to save time in makng and proofing to see it on a tv with the home dvd player you could make a vcd on a cd -- I say a vcd rather than a svcd because some home players will not play svcd then when satisfied create the same show as a dvd -- the quality will be far better but stll not as good as seen on your monitor when you make the exe you can make it auto start [ do a search for how to set it up to autostar]and loop for running on the computer project otions/main/ check box repeat until esc is pressed if i have missed something somebody will fill it in ken

Stan for starters the default preview prior to create an the temp avi is 10 secs i just tried a small show that i have and the way my show was setup it played +- 2 1/2 slides so try increasing the preview setting to 30 secs ken

Mark Igor has kept the size of the program so that it will fit on a floppy and has made a program that does a world of things for +- $25 dollars Granot listened to members and with the help of members developed a program to fit their needs but the exe itself is 1.6 mb with out the readme or the other pieces in the zip. and from the demo page i quote Special promotion price $ 30 US Registration is for use of one name Official price: 50 $ so my remark to your question still stands but i still think it is way down on the wish list how many times have you read " this may be a silly dumb stupid" question / idea there are NO "silly dumb stupid question/idea's" so as Ron has said do not stop posting your ideas ken

keyboard quickest way to find out is to write to Barry ken

and still make it fit on a 1,44 floppy -and all this for $25 -- and who is paying Granot- gimme a break good idea but sorry i have to agree with Ron ken

I quote some values from my tests in this thread -- it started when we first got the avi ability http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...f=4&t=1350&st=0 to save some time my last documented notes from my log DVD TEST NOTES 8:26 PM 7/2/2004 USED WINDVD SUITE -- CAME WITH ASUS MOTHERBOARD USED P2E EXISTING SHOWS -- I HAD MADE THESE SHOWS TO VCD AND SVCD FORMAT MANY TIMES AND I KNEW THEIR FAILINGS REVISED AS NECESSARY - IMAGEs TO FULL SCREEN settings -- 95% SCREENSIZE -- SOME WERE MADE ORIGINALLY with ver 3.6 --WERE SCANNED INTO SYSTEM FROM 4X6 PRINTS, 8X10 XEROX COPIES AND 8X10 PRINTS ETC I DID NOT ADJ THE TEXT POSITON FOR THE PICT ID SO IN SOME CASES I LOST THE TEXT AND IN OTHER CASE'S IT IS LOST IN THE PICTURE - -I WAS NOT ABOUT TO REINVENT THE WHEEL AS I WANTED TO SEE THE OUTPUT QUALITY and how the system would operate USED P2E VER 4.3 BETA 1 AND CREATED VIDEO --default settings - INTERLACE AND SHARPNESS FILTER ON AUTO SHOW EXE = 24.484MB - AVI 123.311 MB AIR SHOW EXE = 9.65 MB- AVI = 73.141 CALENDAR EXE = 21.25 MB - AVI = 107.394 BRIDGE EXE = 14.5= MB - 116.500 MB KIDS EXE =4.79 MB - AVI =23.364 MB MOUNTAINS EXE = 11.579 MB - AVI 91.750 MB TUGBOAT EXE = 6.106 MB AVI - 25.827 MB TOUR EXE 3.812 MB - AVI =25.827 MB THE ESTIMATE TOTAL FILE DVD SIZE WAS +- 3600 MB'S TIME FOR WINDVD TO CONVERT AND BURN WAS + - 2HRS 10 MINS SO I DONT BELIEVE I WILL BE GOING THRU THE TMPGENC GYRATIONS -- THE NEW SYSTEM IS WORKING REAL WELL FOR THIS OPERATION VIEWED ON 13", 23", 29" AND 32" STANDARD TV'S -- THE PICTURES OF THE MOUNTAINS THAT WERE SCANNED FROM MY HASSLEBLAD DAYS ARE EXCEPTIONAL THE OVER ALL QUALITY IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS OLD BOY NOW I HAVE TO FIGGER OUT THE FANCY MENU SETTINGS IN WINDVD excuse the capitals:)) ken

and what is the problem with making the avi on a pc convert it to mpg put it on a cd or whatever and giving that to the mac ken

for defrag for scandisk k

Ron xp is a totally different breed of cat than your 98 see http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=%27sca...le+Search&meta= http://www.pcdon.com/page82.html I have used other windows OS' in the past and they all have a scan disk function. Where is it in XP? I have been using System Mechanic and when I do an optimized defrag, it tells me to use scan disk. HELP!!!:banghead: http://www.short-media.com/forum/archive/i...php/t-7201.html defrag, scandisk, system restore and safe mode are very important utilities i would suggest you "bone " up on them asap with the help of a competent pc tech -- get the check book out ken

Ausmortay for a step by step how to read http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1408 it is also covered in the help file of the program ken

you have to work in the utility business -- especially water treatment ) ken

my wife says i am a sucker so i always believe they are honest but when i was taking money for services rendered i had to get hard nosed at times i will tell a little story -- i used to video tape skating -- and in order to get orders out i had as many as 14 vhs and beta machines for copying -- a lady came around and wanted her money back because the tape i had sold her would not track -- so i fired up thesystem and played it in the mache that recorded it - i coded the tapes for this reason - then played it in all the rest of the vhs machines and it played perfect -- i told her it was her machine that needed adjusting - sorry no refund - she left unhappy as hell with her tape -- this instance can be related to the number of times p2e is bad named and invariably it is not the program -- the problem is PEBKAC when Igor issues a new beta and there is a problem -- just watch the threads fly -- and all related to the same problem I do not have any luck with the search endine either so what i have accumulated over the years is an index of the questions and periodically i zip them up and send them out to various members as well as to Igor so dont be surprised Jim if you get a zip full of urls:) remember my signature is written that way for a reason "share your knowledge, the wheel has already been invented" when i worked i banged my head against the wall too many times because people would not share their knowledge and it frustrated me to no end. what i miss about work is going to conventions drinkin free whiskey and trading ideas wowee what a trip it has been ken
