It look like you have it sorted then Mary. DG

"I then store the ISO file on a backup disk and can burn additional DVDs anytime I need to" Apologies Mary, I read this as being a DVD rather than a USB drive etc. My main reason for using iso files is so that I can easily distinguish between a PTE problem and a DVD burning problem in the event of a failure. "DVD Master Copy" If you are doing a lot of copying, keep one DVD purely for copying from - as someone else has suggested it takes just a couple of minutes to copy a DVD. DG

Hi Mary, Everyone has their own way of doing things. Wouldn't it be easier to keep a DVD Master copy and do a DVD copy from that in whatever software you like best? You are using a DVD to store an ISO file and can't really do anything with it. I would use ROXIO for that as well as the ISO burning but anything will do. DG

NX2.2.4 is now available for any NX2 users who wish to update. Changes in this version - Compatibility with 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Home Basic/Home Premium/Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate has been added.

This issue has been resolved. - When a batch process was run for multiple images with the same shooting date and time, the processed images were not saved with the correct file names. This issue has been resolved. - An issue that caused batch processing to fail before completion when a batch process was run with certain settings has been resolved. - An issue that caused an error message to be displayed when multiple enhancements were applied to images has been resolved. - An issue that caused an error message to be displayed when attempting to open several images previously saved with Capture NX 2 has been resolved. - When the Camera & Lens Corrections checkbox was checked (Develop section of Edit List), enhancements were not applied to an image opened in the image window and displayed at 100%, and the enhanced image could not be saved. This issue has been resolved. - When image window display was maximized with Desktop selected for Window menu>Workspaces>Additional Screen for the primary monitor on a dual monitor system, the image window disappeared.

This issue has been resolved. DG

Creating an ISO file is good practice. In my case, using ROXIO EASY MEDIA CREATOR, all I have to do is double click on any ISO file and the correct function (BURN IMAGE TO DISC) in ROXIO is loaded. All that is needed is to click on OK and the job is done!

Laszlo, I recently had problems at another website with Internet Explorer behaving in a similar manner. I had never upgraded from IE7 to IE8 (I normally use Firefox). Upgrading to IE8 solved my problem. DG

I've never seen that screen before? DG

Thanks Ken, I think he knows it. DG

Ron, I covered this subject over a year ago - I don't know if Ken could dig up the links. As Peter says to completely fill the screen use 1920x1080 images in a 1920x1080 show. There is one problem which you COULD POSSIBLY be encountering - if you are using the VGA input to the TV this can happen with SOME TVs (the width is restricted). For COMPLETE matching of laptop and TV you MUST use HDMI. If your laptop is 1920x1080 - great - you're in business. If it is LESS than 1920x1080 you won't be able to view on TV and monitor at the same time - only on TV. DG

Can I offer a different/better solution? I would prefer to see PTE allow users to set their own defaults. That way, those who want their images to "Fit To Slide" could have their prefered setup and those who want their images to come in at "Actual Pixels" could also have their prefered setup. Everyone's happy! DG

Hi mary, I tried to do what you suggest and V6 operates the same (on my computer) as it always has. Only the newly created Template gets saved to the designated folder. DG

Peter, With respect, what is the point of making the images at the same resolution as the TV if his output is a DVD version? The software will reduce it to PAL dimensions anyway (768x432). Using the TV resolution would only apply if a laptop/PC were used and the connection between laptop and TV were HDMI/DVI. DG

Blank slide: Add an image to your slide list and go to Objects and Animation. Click on the image name in the Objects Pane on the right hand side and hit the delete button on keyboard. You are then left with a blank slide. Back in the slide list copy and paste your blank and drag it to the first slide position. DG

Tom's JPEGs are a good illustration of what can happen. Photoshop's "Save For The Web" gives the same sort of result. However it must be added that viewing at 400% is not the "norm". I have always used 100% when looking for artifacts but I have to admit that artifacts which appear to have gone when viewing at 100% can still be seen if the view is increased to 400%. So where do you stop? Erring on the side of caution I don't go below quality 8 when doing a "Save As". DG

Here we go again - assuming that everyone knows what the H*** you are talking about. Could someone please explain starting with: A LABEL TRACK is................. DG

More details please about your Project Options / Screen settings? Aspect ratio of TV? LCD or CRT? DG

Peter, One way of getting around this (a method I use) is to put all images which are NOT main images into a Sub-Folder. DG

PLEASE, try an MP3? WAV files in PTE are OVERKILL! DG

Claudia, Just thinking out loud here: A normal WAV file would be 44.1KHz and 16 Bit. I'm not sure that PTE supports 32 Bit 48KHz WAV files - maybe it does? Why not do what everyone else does - convert to MP3? 256Kbps and 44.1KHz Stereo is ideal and possibly TOO high a quality depending on your audience. DG

Here's a short demo of a 3d Pyramid: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zy1duzzo1jy/Pyramid.zip It gets interesting when you try to open these things up to see what's inside. DG

Dave, What happens if the 3rd option show is saved from V6 and then opened again? DG

The startup screen in Dave's attachment looks like a V5 Start Up screen rather than a V6 screen? DG

Dave, When you look at the top left of the screen - which version of PTE is indicated? DG
