I produced a slideshow today on XP and had it returned as it loaded up to the first slide and locked on both a PC and a laptop running Windows 98. Anybody worked round this problem. Mike

Thanks black first slide sorted the problem Mike.

Could someone please help on the size to fit on TV. 1. Project Options/ Screen. What settings do you fill in on this page. I have tried various settings and can get a wide screen picture ok, but on full screen I loose the file name. Mike Craven

I have a new problem. On playback of burned DVD on the computer in Windows Media I have a perfect show, but when I playback on the DVD player I loose the file name. If I put the TV into wide mode I only loose the last digit of the file name. Under Project options/screen I am setting Window mode and default resolution of 632-453 @ 100%, what am I doing wrong. Mike

I have been able the make over 10 different shows in DVD, SDVD, and VCD. In my opinion I can see little difference in quality between DVD and SDVD and VCD. My one problem is whilst in Movie Factory Title page the image I pick as a background for the start of the show has a mottled effect, but as the shows go into 2nd slide picture quailty is fine. Can anyone throw any light on this fault. regards Mike C.

John If you send me PM I will try to help maybe by phone. Mike Craven

Lumenlux I can only think that my success in making the show was by downloading the Movie Factory 2 update, and there was a patch for P4 processors on the same page that I also downloaded. I hope this helps. BTW, the Triumph is a Daytona 995i race spec motorcycle, and I think you would be far safer at home,Ref; Mad Dogs and Englishmen regards Mike.

Hi Lumenlux, I had to shoot a birthday party last night, when I got home I converted my raw files to jpegs, made a new action to resize and loaded into PTe previewed and created file. Clicked on Video button and clicked create video,brought in Movie Factory 2 and went though normal process hit record and went to bed (3am). Just got up and disc had been ejected and on sreen it said the disc had burned sucessfully. Back into PTe clicked finished and pushed disc back into computer brought up Windows Media player and hit the play button and I now have a fully working DVD from PTe. I would like to thank Ivor and his team for all the work they have put in the making of this software, and also to all the senior members like yourself who are always there to help, you make it all worthwhile. Now as I have saved 4 hours today by not having to make a seperate DVD I can get out my Truimph and go for a blast in the Derbyshire hills. Many thanks again to all Mike Craven

Lumenlux, Thanks for the reply, I also spent hours on the ulead site plus other links to Movie Factory 2 forums with no luck. I also emailed ulead tech help but knowing ulead ( I have other ulead software) I will be dead and buried before I get a response. While I was on the ulead site I downloaded all the lastest patches for the software, uninstalled then reinstalled with the new patches, then downloaded new pte v20 remade a new slideshow and in Movie Factory 2 after loading the file watched a full preview, no problem clicked record it whent full 100% and came up same error 80041c21. I am at a loss. Anybody any other ideas. Mike C.

Having seen the preview in Movie Factory 2 and everthing OK, I burned to CD. It burns 100% then Error Message comes up. Failed to convert video file. Error: 80041c21. Can anyone help. Mike C.
