gordy see Burning exe. file on same DVD, is this possible? http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...ile+on+same+dvd If it is not too much trouble, please repost your question in the proper section http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index....php?act=SF&f=4 and i will repost my reply to your new entry the forum is getting rather large -- the posting was made last December lot of discs been burned since then:) ken

Tony it took me +- 4 hrs to burn a 4.8 + gig mpeg yesterday the specs for my computer have been mentioned many time - the short specs -- xp home sp2 - 2.8 ghz - 1 gig swp and 1 gig ram elsewhere in the forum there are some of my other file sizes and times to convert using various methods I have the best luck with nero 6 platinum suite then windvd 6 suite -- if you are making dvd's it takes lots of time and computing power ken

echelonphoto welcome to the forum copy the exe to the desk top of the laptop does it play now? sounds like lack of computing power ken

doesn't it make you feel good when you create something that works - your parents will be happy as well !! Merry xmas my kids should be sailing thru Kitchener area within the hour 10:50 now - -how is the 401? ken

see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...&t=2691&hl=icon ronwil uses Photoshop search "icon" revealed many hits ken

well you cant make an avi file using midi either because a midi is computer music and I dont know how we can explain the temp avi file any better than Igor explained it in one of the threads i gave you we were all in the same situation a year ago - we all started from scratch in the avi feature Ken

SEE http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid...d,118523,00.asp if you are planning on a big show there are some figures in the article as to hdwe, space etc req'd. I knew i need a lot of space but didn't realize it was so much another eye opener ken

well fellow Canadian Roger welcome to the forum if you read How to prepare and burn DVD-Video or SVCD disc, Quick tutorial at http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1408 it explains the finish feature and Video Temporary files, Why are files temporary? http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=2689 answers the second question ken

Isabel with irfanview open a jpg save as *.ico then try setting to the following 32x32 256 colour i checked my icon folder and found one as low as 7 colours i always have to diddle the colour setting it can be done - just perservere:) ken

Tony the short answer is Igor uses as many of windows "tools" as he possibly can so he can keep the actual program small in size thus less problems Igor will have to give you the long answer. I should have mentioned that you could import each temp avi into TMPGEnc and convert them to vcd or svcg quality mpgs for reuse when building another dvd -- they can be converted to dvd files but i haven't figured how to use them I use Nero 6. suite platinum and WinDvd 6 and can import the temp avi's into them and they do all the encoding - generally without a hitch depending on the total raw size of the of the files -- have found that Nero balks when a mpg is much over 700 megs -- there are many things to learn once you enter the dvd burning game -- i have burned +- 500 dvd disks since this July and i am just scratching the surface of the learning curve ken

ltdedorc when i started putting shows to disk via the avi feature i had to change my screen reolution to 1024/768 from 800/600 I then drew pencil marks on the monitor case where the centre of the vertical and horizontal dimensions are for reference -- and i keep a plastic T square on my desk for rough checking the right side has the roll up thing for placement -- on my screen it is +- 3/8" or .9525 cm this has to be allowed for when positioning as well as the other parts of the object editor creen when positioning text/jpgs etc if you search for grid in the forum we had some discussion on this +- 11 mos ago and you may get an idea how the members overcome this problem -- i think they put a grid in the object editor placed things and then removed the grid -- there was an url available and where to /how to make the grid in adobe ken

they do make dvd-rw's then you would not be wasting a buck:) ken

gogs i have experienced the shimmer during transition as well i think it has to do with the transition rate try without music or without sync and see what happens post results and see if anybody else jumps in with a clue ken

gogs welcome to the forum edge shimmer is a common problem especially on pictures that have borders and right side is the worst it has to do with shape of the pixels between shows shown on monitors and those shown on tv's years ago when videoing skaters they would have a chromed edge on the right side -- depending on lighting in the arena -- shimmering also used to occur when copying tapes and one past the signal thru an "enhancer" too much enhance made the images glow a better explanation of the problem might be found using the search for pixel size one of answers here http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=0entry13600 i googled and found this http://www.monitorworld.com/faq_pages/q28_page.html ken

on the main screen of PTE right side just below the picture area if you click a slide a little "looks like " a sandwich click it and you will preview from that point n - music and sound ken

ratfugel you are of course making an avi and then follwing the instructins re leaving it open? and then importing it into a dvd authoring program? which proggie? you are not giving us much to work with and you should be posting in the video section of the forum http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index....php?act=SF&f=4 ken

AT 09:12 Sundy, i could not get any -- may be too busy thks tho Ken will try later 10:25 ok ken

I would like to take this time to wish you and yours from me and mine a MERRY XMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. May all your slide shows turn out perfect and I hope Santa brings lot's of new Gizmo's to aid you in their production. Last year at this time we were discovering how to convert our show's to VCD,SVCD and DVD - PicturesToExe v4.20 + AVI video output feature. Now you can produce your presentations as AVI video file and then (using special software) burn DVD-Video, VCD, or SVCD disc. (Please read chapter in the help about work with video output.) - a very steep learning curve. I think i have found a use for cd-r and dvd-r spindles -- great for catching slugs and snail's and other things ken

from woody's wee 2.08 From: Woody's EMAIL Essentials [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 11:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: WEE #2.08 - Hotmail and Outlook changes Woody's EMAIL Essentials Make electronic mail work better for you Hotmail Changes | Outlook update | Capitals or not? 30 September 2004 - Vol. 2 No.8 quote snipped There’s an important change to Microsoft’s Hotmail service coming which will effect people who use Hotmail with Outlook or Outlook Express. Outlook 2002 or 2003 and Outlook Express have a feature to let you receive and send email via your Hotmail account but using the software interface instead of the usual web browser method. This is a handy way to store past messages offline or to compose long messages. Setting it up is fairly easy, just create a new email account in the software and choose the ‘HTTP’ or Hotmail option. Though it is labeled ‘HTTP’ in the software it actually uses an extension of the web protocol called WebDAV to communicate with the Hotmail servers. From now on, only paid subscribers will be able to access their Hotmail accounts via Outlook or Outlook Express. Microsoft says that WebDAV features have been abused by spammers and they need to clamp down on access. If you’ve been using WebDAV to access your email with an external email client then you have some time to decide what to do. Microsoft says that people who have been using the feature will be given continued access until March 2005. The paid options are to either join MSN Premium or Hotmail Plus ($19.95 a year). While Microsoft is ‘selling’ this as a anti-spam measure there’s no doubt it may help convert people to paying customers. It’s just as well this change is getting mentions in various media because you’d never know from looking on the Microsoft sites. There’s nothing on the Microsoft web site devoted to press announcements nor on the MSN or Hotmail sites – even the online help and account policies haven’t been updated. This change is a sad but alas necessary thing. While it probably won’t make a difference to the amount of spam we all get, it will make things a bit harder for the bad guys. ken

Ian the issue of hotmail restrictions is a MS thing that they introduced a few months back iwill see if i can locate more info ken

geez Jim you better not say that too loud -- there might be some Torontonians in the closet that have different thoughts Ken

I have just burned 2 AVI'S TO DVD using my 2x LG burner used Nero suite and added nothing other than the standard background and buttons 01 avi = 408688 KB 32.46 mins 512x384 02 avi = 43,634 kb 04.05 mins 512x384 time to encode and burn first disk was +- 60 mins time to burn 2nd disk 6 mins 42 sec's final size was 1.74 gig worth every bit of the time to burn ken

to throw some more to the pot, i quote a part of a thread by one of the moderators of another group re dual layer Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2004 11:58:25 -0500 From: Wayne Johnson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: CD/DVD At 03:29 AM 12/4/2004, Jim typed: >Can someone please suggest a CD/DVD RW with >the latest bells and whistles. Two sided DVD etc etc. I don't mean to >start a war here -- so maybe a quiet offering in the corner. I like the Pioneer line especially since they are the largest manufacturer of burners & they were also the first for PCs. I believe you have confused 2 sided with dual layer as one could have a 2 sided dual layer disk which would hold only 16 to 18g. Most any DVD burner will burn a 2 sided disk as you burn each side as if it's a single sided disk but the dual layer that's another issue entirely. IMO were NOT ready for DL [dual layer] disks yet in that most stand alone players will not play them most likely do to the fact that only the +R camp makes them & they are considerably slower at 2.4x which is approximately an hour to burn 8g of video or data. ----------+---------- Wayne D.
