Igor you are a slave driver to your crew:) ken

Alan it is called saving Bandwidth ken

well i do it to get rid of a vertical border or picture edge so i dont see the waviness when i burn to dvd and play it on tv it is an experimental thing -- you have to play with these things to make your self satisfied it took an awful lot of playing with picts and disks to reach a happy medium Carol Thomas rooski11 came up the resizing back last dec early jan when she was playing shows on a widescreen tv but if i remember right it had something to do with retaining original pict size -- we also had to come up with proper text placement -- we were losing text when played on the tv a lot of fiddling and changing methods came about when we started to make a show for tv viewing a search of this section http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...ite=screen+size revealed lots of hits using screen size as the key words ken

Dennis I have checked a 26:35 and a 30:56 min show with no problem -- both shows made with the 4.3 beta 3 the 26:35 min uses a continuous mp3 - joined with Audacity and the 30 min 56 secs show uses 10 separate mp3 both are synchronized automatically with control of the show option checked have you tried to make the show again with the same picts settings and music with the same beta? ken

Phil, now save the key in "secure place's" be it floppy disc cd-r etc as well as all the info you have. the original order the confirmation the file that came with the key [corrected of course] as well as this page. you may be able to help someone else:) ken

before all the antivirus and email proggies started protecting the customer/user the reg key came as an attachment with reg as the extension and one only had to copy and paste it out of the mail program to a spot you could remember then you double clicked the pte.reg you were questioned whether you sure you wanted to install to the registry , by this time after playing with the program you double clicked it and the program was registered. i recently had a new system built and i being a pack rat tried to install my original key and i was promptly told that it was out of date, so i dug up another that igor had sent me Wed 1/24/2001 12:10 PM and voila i was registered again --- i dreaded the thought of having to ask for another ) reg exe scr and numerous other extensions are flagged by the email program and virus scanner and wont let you open them or they put them in a spot you cant get to -- then the forum is bombarded with irate customers and we try to help the people out of their dilema so without knowing exactly what the key looks like if you open notepad copy and paste the all ofkey info into the body of notepad then save as pte.reg you should get a reg file that looks like a bunch of blue squares if you copied everything proper into notepad save as pte.reg then double click it you should get registered when you open the pte program help/register your name should be across the top of the window registered to "hiplip" or whatever you have your computer named if i have made a mistake i apologize ahead of time - -Igor, Guido, nobeefstu where are you????? ken

Jong, project options/screen/ there is a box to adjust screen size when making a show for video, some have found that if you set fit to screen,full screen mode and adjust the %, that you diminish the chance of right side wavy vertical borders and still maintain most of the picture ken

what is the matter with the remote control ken

Peddles welcome to the forum well you need all the original files etc - and the pte file as well start reading the page 1 How to prepare and burn DVD-Video or SVCD disc, Quick tutorial first entry of this section for starters where have all the files music etc gone also start a new thread in the How to create video section ken ken

Bradley welcome to the forum is the music from the cd converted to a mp3 file?? also some music is copyrighted and cannot be converted to mp3 ken

Fisker Igor will have to answer that one i'm afraid ken

David another grid for you -- you may be able to use it ken partial quote from PC World's Digital Focus Photography expert Dave Johnson's tips will enhance your digital camera, printer, and image editing expertise with recommendations on digital challenges from shooting techniques to digital publishing, answers to reader questions, and a photo contest. July 13th, 2004 Photography's Most Important Rule When we take ordinary snapshots, we rarely plan ahead. The snapshot process is fast and casual: See something interesting; put camera to eye; put subject in frame; press shutter release. In fact, that's what often distinguishes a picture as a snapshot: The subject usually ends up smack in the middle of the frame. If you thumb through magazines and look at professional photos, or even watch the way scenes are framed on TV and in the movies, you'll find that the subject is rarely dead center in the frame. Instead, photographers rely on what is probably the single most important rule in composing pictures: the Rule of Thirds. The Rule of Thirds divides the frame into a grid that resembles a tic-tac-toe board, like this: http://ftp.pcworld.com/pub/screencams/thirds.jpg

bishopbrad if it is a *.reg key, you double click it and it should question you when you want to install it to the registry and the answer is yes if it is a *.txt, change it to *.reg this assuming it is as Lief said 231 bytes in size and that your letter was from wnsoft when communictiong make sure you supply them [wnsoft]with all documention between you and them order # etc oh by the way welcome to the forum ken

Jong, now it is forward to battle new challenges make sure you dont run out of discs ken

Igor i got 3 bad zips while you were uploading have good one now ken

using Roxio 7 suite, you can import the the temp avi/vid file into the Roxio dvd builder and it will do the necessary gyrations -- you do not need to use tmpgenc or similar to produce a mpeg also see Eric's comments at http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=2115 IMHO the full Nero suite and WINDVD platinum are more user friendly than Roxio ken

Mehmet real nice looks like you had a great holiday and you have the show to prove it ken

Foto now are you going to move foraward one version at a time and see if problem comes back?? there may be a sleeping bug that Igor can eliminate, but he cant do it without data there are too many features coming on board in the 4.3 versions not to take advantage of them hang in there ken

Igor the last time i diddled in the ini file you told me i did it wrong [ used the REM command] so will wait for specific instructions ken

I use a freebie from Baxbex software called "open Expert" that i program to open certain programs -- a carryover from my win98 days http://www.baxbex.com/openexpert.html Igor may be able to integrate it's features for those that dont have xp or cannot integrate xp's open with features ken

and ken breathes a big sigh of relief that it was an easy fix whew think i'll have me nap now ken
