Ken when i had a pair of Hasselblad and was learning how to use them, on quite a few occasions i questioned other users. one stated i should get a soft filter -- what for i questioned -- to soften the ladies faces -- my reply was -- you mean i bought these fine optics only to put a cheap piece of glass in front to satisfy some women's vanity --NOT let her go to a makeup artist to hide her lines and the lenses' will show how good the makeup artist are at their trade i used to say -- sorry cant make a silk purse out of a sow's ear see http://www.bartleby.com/59/3/youcantmakea.html back to the quiver -- i soon learned not to have borders on picts -once the dvd option was available i had to drastically change my show design methods - somewhere in the database the reason for the quiver was explained -- the square pixel/vs round pixel comes to mind -- maybe somebody will jump in here with the answer some stuff here http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...te=square+pixel ken

Bill, good things come to those who wait ken

Jen as the p2e instructions state for making a dvd, How to prepare and burn DVD-Video or SVCD disc, Quick tutorial http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1408 you must leave p2e running until the dvd is created -- and you can have numerous instances of p2e running at once -- then you import the avi's into your dvd authoring program -- the dvd authoring program does the rest ken

Ian I am not familiar with pinnacle's protocol but when making the temp avi there is a box to be checked re pinnacle in the pte program now are you trying to make a vcd, or a svcd using a cd rw disk or are you trying to make a dvd - - your might be able to burn some stuff to the cdrw but the dvd player will not recognize it -- you must use a dvd-rw or a dvd-r or a dvd+r if you are going to make a dvd you will have to give us the answers to the above before we can help you further ken

Jen welcome to the forum. Yes i just made a dvd to verify my system using WinDvd platinum 6 -- the create dvd portion is ver 2.0 i believe and it is playing in a dvd player at present-- not the computer player . have you tried playing it in another dvd player? just double checked the create dvd portion is ver 2.0 ken

Gerard i apologize for the "George" but you heard my plea ken

RJ welcome to the forum by chance have you synced the show if so on the first progect options page -- main tab do you have control of show box checked and i think you have to have mouse enabled on the advaced tab hope it as easy as that ken

Harry why not make a mpg from the avi with TMPGEnc and post that on your webpage search forum for TMPGEnc ken

Harry if you planned on trying to use the avi you create before you make a vcd, svcd, dvd, you are correct -- it is only a temp file as described here http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=1408 as pte does not make a permanent avi is likely the reason why you never got any comments ken

Joe the easiest thing is to setup a folder for each show and copy your pictureds to the applicable folder -- also copy your music and any other things that you will use for that show and work out of that folder -- then if you decide you are no longer going to use the show you can easily copy the whole thing to a cd-r and delete the folder for disc space ken

Alan, if you take money for your services you are classed as a professional or businessman. when Photos by Ken was still in business, I had to collect taxes, pay them to the government and file income tax forms for pbyk as well as from my regular job -- pbyk was not a great money maker -any money generated went to more equipment - it was a hobby business. There is nobody on this forum whose show was shown to a group unknown to the owner/author, who would not accept positive remarks from the viewers. It is too bad that "the law" has to stick their nose into someone's pleasure. Over here the health dept's are starting to investigate church suppers for improper food preparation etc -- not that i go to church suppers but it is the principle the "tree huggers" will soon have their way and we will need permits to keep on living ken
