Thank you Dom. What a surprise... Just coming back from vaccation,... and I discover a version so richer than mine, at the beginning ! And I did not expect to find it on the forum ! But it is very nice to see that the idea (and what you made of this) is appreciated !! The more amazing is that our other friends coming with us in Japan did not see it yet, but it is already on the web!! Good job, bravo ! Casp(al).

Ken, Fred, thank you both for your help ! - Ken : I read the posts you gave me the links. Yes, I will pay attention to the space disk. To make this film on one disk, I am now sure I need an other software for burning action. - Fred, I think you gave me the solution. I could not try because I do not posses yet this Nero software. Before I purchase this software, I would like to be sure I well understood the actions to do. So please, could you confirm to me Fred it is this, with this example : - We've got 2 pte files : A.pte and B.pte. - 1). I open A.pte, run bideobuilder and choose dvd actions. I create the A.ISO file on the hard disk. (I can also save that project as A.ptv, ... but it is not necessary.) - 2). I can do the same another day with B.pte. - other pte files)... - END). With Nero dvd burning, I select A.ISO and B.ISO, to burn 1 dvd. In Nero, I can add a menu presenting A and B. Nero makes itself all the VOB, IFO and BUP files. Did I well understand ? The 1), 2), ... n) actions can take lots of time. But realized separately, use the same space disk for temp files. The final action of burning in Nero is not so long, because the files are already encoded. If it is correct, you exactly answered to my need !! Thank's Techman-Fred ! Regards to you both. Casp

Hello you all. ( Igor and all his team, congratulations, for all this job. If you come in Paris, let me know !) I think I am not alone to discover by this time the new software VideoBuilder. I am wondering on how to use it to create a real long DVD : 2 hours, made from a long PTE film (10 chapters, 10 pte files .exe of about 12 minutes each), not in one time, not in one shot. Because if I do, I am afraid that my computer would work for a complete night !!) For the moment, I only tried to create the DVD files on the hard disk for one chapter (one PTE of 10 minutes). It is ok, very good result. But 1/2 hour of job to obtain 3 VOB, 2 IFO and 2 BUP files... If I add a new chapter, it will not give some more files as I expected, but the file untitled "VTS_01_1.VOB" will be much bigger. So, my question is : how to prepare an image of a complete DVD on hard disk, not in one time ? Should I use the option "ISO picture" ? What is this ? I am so sorry, I feel ignorant... I hope the answers to my question will be useful also for the others, on this forum !! Than you all very much. Casp

To Igor and all his team : Thank you so much for all this splendid job !!!! Here you are, PTE 5.0, ended. The most beautiful software I've never seen. I already spent mountains of nights and days on the beta release. Did a real fantastic film (2 hours) about a solar eclipse in Sahara last year. Thank you, thank you so much. Casp.

GREAT !!! Thanks a lot for good news, dear Dom and Ken. And I'm only discovering your news today !... Text effects will be also very useful again too. Thanks guys.

Hye Ken. Thanks for your reply. Well, in fact, I've been using already the release 5 from the very beginning, with the beta 2 to the last one. I actually use the pan and zoom, that I was waiting for before. I use all the new possibilities in my slideshow, included the very good ideas of TheDom, from his Sharing place. (hope he comes back very soon !). So, no return to the 4.48. I wish Igor will include this possibility very soon : external exe. Have you got some information about future betas ? thanks a lot. Casp.

Hye. I'm new on this forum, but I've been using this EXCELLENT software for years, now. I do not miss any total solar eclipse in the world. There was one this year. I need to present my slideshow before the end of this year to many people. For this, I absolutly need to run slideshows together (17 slideshows, 2 hours all together), with some inserted very short videos. The "run external exe" is not available yet, but I need it for all this. When will it be possible to chain the slideshows again please ? Before the end of the year ? Thank you for everything. Casp.
