stonemason well we have a real hard time getting people to post in the "How to create video" section. when Igor introduced the option -- he wrote an extensive howto and it is kind of nice if video related questions are posted there for search purposes and i think mpg's are video related If you are interested Send me your email addie i will send you my complete recent log as to how i did a recent show to dvd file sizes I used 228 picts 21 mins of music -- 6 mp3's the resulting exe was 318,717kb the temp avi was 218,619 kb the mpeg2 was 358,874 kb and I havent been able to master "the virtual dub" as yet and i think that imfinewine would like to know some of yourvirtual dub tricks as well ken

stonemason welcome to the forum the qustion has been discussed many times please use the search feature in the proper section of the forum http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index....php?act=SF&f=4 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=2689 ken

echelonphoto welcome to the forum send me an exe and i will show you quite a few of the dvd player programs even have screen capture built in so you can get a picture of what is on the screen while playing a dvd on your computer quality is a differennt matter use the search for screen capture -- your worries have been discussed many times just remember -- where there is a will there is a way and only deal with honest people ken

and if you maintain 2 drives , make sure you set it to boot from a drive other than floppy and make sure you know which one it boots from -- when you are up to ___ in snakes one neede to know these things this getting into the long answer and i am getting out my area -=- this is when i get my techie ken

agree ken

Bob welcome to the forum to answer your question short answer is yes but dont quote me sometimes wise to thoroughly examine the software that comes bundled with the drive -- it could be a lite version and not support dvd burning ken

well you can use the arrows space bar etc if you hide it i think i always show it cause i want people to study my work btw when you make a video the nav bar and opening page do not show on your tv ken

did you try this? ken

Kevin you have to have that box checked if you are synced -- want control of show and you have show navigation bar on advanced page in order to have it appear, and i seem to remember maybe something about mouse buttons -- maybe set to none try the first before you diddle with mouse buttons see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...+navigation+bar and you may have to update see the dates of the above the feature was added to one of the revisions ken

Tom finally a show that doesnt take control on my system especially the pause button so i can study you angle of view and not have to get out my laser pointer to point out things right on ken

Zydercojoe you have to make sure that your browser settings are set to not shut off your browser after X# of mins if there is nothing doing I can just imagine you sitting there and not daring to touch anything and then it quits so you should make sure your dial up and modem settings are correct if you are not sure phone your ISP for guidance. ken

gallantphoto welcome to the forum one answer or part of it is here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;327609 are you trying to run off the cd or did you xfer the exe to the other computer's hard drive this question has been answered many times on the forum -- use the search function and see if your answer is there maybe one quick solution is to burn the show to dvd puters are like cars -- no 2 run the same ken

Hans see if you can raise RayPar remember the big wedding cd that he sent to some members -2002- see if he has got into dvd's -- a while back i think he did post about a new baby he had buttons and quite a few other enhancements long before most - he might be able to give you a few helping ideas you can icq the exe to me to enjoy:) ken

ED see my entry re ATI at http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...2027&hl=shimmer bit of theory behind the cause ken

Hans long time no see if you burn it by importing it to DVDSANTA, when you insert the disc in the home player, the show starts as soon as it loads, and continues until you eject it. I cant say how your buttons will work, and i have yet to find the controls to stop snta being "on top" all the time see http://www.dvdsanta.com/ ken

Ashu welcome to the forum. pan and zoom and the Ken Burns effect have been discussed may times -- at the present time pte will not do it on it's own use the search feature of the fourm and you will see what others have done ken

I think you better have a look here http://www.videohelp.com/ before you go much further in your quest there are different types of disc's and i think your basic questions will all be answered here then we can get into the heavy duty stuff ken

you have to have a dvd disk to make a dvd as well as a dvd burner ken

mikkyboots saving slide show to a cd rom see if i got this right -- you want to save your show to a cd --possibly to show someone on their computer you have to save the exe to the cd not the pte file ken

kdwolfe one of my dim lights got brighter you said you are using LE does it support dvd burning in some cases the software thant comes bundled with a burner will only burn vcd/svcd -- the want more money check the help file and see if sonic supports it When Igor issued the avi feature i had to upgrade my roxio easycd to be able to burn dvd's -- at the time i didnt have a dvd burner but i had to upgrade when i got a dvd burner to full suite -- they suck one in to buy all the bells and whistles ken

there is no comparison between image quality on your monitor and your tv your monitor will be better if you have the computing power, make the show using better/bigger pictures - i have made shows using picts that are as big as fom 700 kb to 2 mb -- they show great on a 51" wide screen with aspect set at 4:3 and viewed at the proper distance my computer specs are mentioned in various threads ken

welcome to the forum Bert position the cursor example of your text 123456789 between 4 and 5 and hit return between 6 and 7 hit return and so on till the layout is the way you want it then ok then view the slide and see how the layout looks ken

steve you can likely get away with 90 - 95 % screen size -- this will generally get rid of borders and the resulting "vertical jaggies" when placing the comments text run your screen at 1024 x 768 -- draw vert and horizontal centre cheat marks on your monitor case and experiment for the sweet spot to place your comments-- your might have to diddle the placemaent so use dvd-rw disks to experiment to see how your show looks on the tv screen some experimentation takes time but the extra time will give you a better looking show good luck ken

real slick -- did you have any chase you? ken

vitesse1968 welcome to the forum many of us has stuggled with the comments -- but the solution was there all the time SEE http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1906 ken
