I agree with you Dave on the size of image. Unfortunately they were taken in August 2010 before i managed to upgrade. Like yourself, i place it as a "must see" area of the word and i'm pleased to hear it brought back good memories. Thanks again. John

Pleased to hear you enjoyed this AV Dick and your desire to visit Italy has been renewed It's one of our favourite holiday destinations. All the best John

The Italian Amalfi coast is considered by "UNESCO" as an outstanding example of Mediterranian landscape. 1024 x 768 and 4.45min http://www.beechbrook.com/pte Many thanks to Bill Hines for hosting this AV. John

Thanks Lin. It's good to hear you say this show brought back happy memories. We enjoyed our visit there very much and it was later at home, when i started to read the history that i deceided to attempt this as a project. Because i had not been able to find some good quality images for the first part, i ended up "cheating" in order for me to tell the story. Pronunciations i did fear would let me down and thanks Lin for explaining these to me. Thanks again Lin John

The crisscrossing waters which snake from North to South along a 400 mile stretch of the Southern Indian state of Kerala, are undoubtedly one of the World's famous highlights. http://www.beechbrook.com/pte Many thanks to Bill Hines and his work.

Hallo I did try the idea of some soft music but then i lost the effect i was trying for. Eventually i took the easy way and decided to to keep it simple. I'm pleased you enjoyed it and "yes", it was a fun day, but hot. All the best Les

Thanks for your post Ralph. A great day at The Elephant Training Centre Chaing-Dao, Chaing Mai. After a buffet lunch which they provided, we then spent one and a half hours on the trek, which was followed by an hour rafting down the river to end what was a perfect day. I hope that one day you will also be able to enjoy. All the best Les

Hallo Mick I'm pleased you enjoyed the show and i understand what you mean. My plan was to try and simulate the occasion. One thing i enjoy so much about PTE is the ability and flexability of ideas we can try. I have a few more new ideas in the pipeline. All the best Les

Thanks Lin. I guess they must be some of the cleanest elephants in Thailand. It was a great day out and the camera was ideal, especially on the elephant trek. I've recently bought myself a Fuji Finepix HS20 EXR, which i'm also finding ideal for this type of photography. All the best Les

Hi Eric/Yachtsman1 I do mean Slit's Open Market, known also as the Local Market. It is only a few steps away from the ferry and bus teminals and is on the outside of the western wall of the Diocletians Palace. The Open Air Market is on the eastern side which is a very much larger market and i have to admit i never saw it. There are also a few smaller market areas on the inside of the Palace, plus i believe the fish market. John

Hi Ken I wonder? The fruit and veg' was selling well. John

FLIGHT over OAHU First,i would like to thank Bill at Beechbrook as this is the first i have ever posted. The AV has been made using some photographs i took in 2006, using a Canon Powershot S1 camera. Using PTE 6.5 first and then making some alterations in PTE 7.0, i've attempted to give a video effect. By using the Animation and Effects, to create the experience of flying in the helecopter on that day. I have also included a sequence of Peal Harbour in remembrance of December 7th 1941. 70 years ago. File Size:- 23.1MB Length:- 10m.30s Resolution:- 1024 x 768 x 72 No: of Slides:- 86 - 53 original photographs The soundtrack is a combination of HELECOPTER INFLIGHT SOUND CLIPS. http://www.beechbrook.com/pte/

Hi - Had the same problem here in the North West, UK , from around 9pm johnleslie

Tony Before you decide which to buy, i think the following web-sites are worth looking at for further imformation: 1. www.thetecstop.net/?page_id=940 This is a YouTube vidio on the Samson H2 2. www.audio-ideas.com/reviews/mp3/samson=zoom=h2-recorder-review I know you are also interested in costs; The Samson H4 is around £215:95 The -:- H2 -:- £139:95 I hope this does help you and not confuse you further Best of luck JohnLeslie

Hallo again Tony As Peter has explained, when making a voice-over, quality is hard to find. This has been a pathway i've been along, trying to decide, while also thinking of the cost. I chose the Samson Q1U Dynamic USB after reading several web-sites and ringing a company called - Music On My Pc Ltd - ( www.musiconmypc.co.uk ) who advised me this would be the one for me. The microphone is mounted on its short stand on my desktop and connected via a USB lead, just in front of the monitor. My Tower PC is below. Regarding any "tricks" - don't have a TV/Radio playing - but joking apart, i've just done a couple of tests by running it on Audacity. With the room windows open and with the microphone recording, the low key noises outside showed very, very slightly. When i recorded Voice, these other noises could not be heard. For me, this works great and causes no problem with the finished result. Good luck with your search. JohnLeslie

Hi Tony Another avenue for you to look at: Samson Microphones www.samsontech.com I bought there Q1U USB Dynamic microphone which i've found to be very good. Never have i picked up any fan, or other noises when recording and only costs around £35 . There are other microphones which are only around £70 You simply just connect into a USB and load into your PC/Laptop I hope this may be of some help to you JohnLeslie

Hi Shirley Following on from what Al has told you - There is also some further advice to help you if required in the Windows Help uder:- STEP by STEP: SETTING UP MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP - sub heading:- Transfer files and settngs from another computet Where the Transfer Wizard can assist All the best Johnleslie

Hallo Mario I'ts always easy when we know how! From my own experience, starting from basics is the best way forward, although i may have had experience before, there are always new ways and ideas to be learnt. I have found all the Tutorials on the Forum excellent and i think the authors do a great job, although i think i know what you mean when it comes to someone starting to learn for the first time. I agree with other members advice and from my own experience there could be a DVD Tutorial by: Barry Beckham on his web site: www.beckhamdigital.co.uk. One that may be of interest to help for you is: PicturesToExe 5 Delux Starter DVD - 5 hours of vidio, including animation. The price here in the is UK £13.50 British Pounds + tax. No! I'm not a salesman I hope this may be of help to yourself and others and enjoy this excellent programm. Also a "BIG THANK YOU" to all the members who help us all with their tutorials All the best - Johnleslie

Hi Norrie A few of us seem to be having similar problems and i started a Post under Vidio Builder 5.0 on the forum. I have just added some information in my relplies to Felix and Norrie which i hope may help you. All the best - Johnleslie

Hallo Olivier Sorry for my delay in answering but i've put some details on my reply to Felix yesterday, under this post, which might be of interest to you. All the best - Johnleslie
