Thanks everyone, I'm sure, that something on my system, or something I'm doing wrong is causing my problem. I appreciate your comments, and suggestions and will take a closer look. Best regards, Robert

Hi Dave,I tried the default MP4 settings,1920X1080, Medium Quality (instead of high quality), and Pan and Scan Enabled. These settings had the same results, 75%, and quit encoding, I then split the show in two parts, as you suggested. This method worked without a hitch. I have this question, don't you think that PTE should be able to handle encoding 200 to 300 MB's with no problem? We have all these styles and tricks yet the program can't encode a simple little show with none of these tricks enabled. Dave, thank you for the help, robertg. PS I know that surely most of you on the forum, make MP4's do any of you have this sort of problem, maybe we need to step back, and think, do we need all these fancy elements, to make PTE do everything except fly, or do we want to have a program that will finish a show using our choice of all the things listed underneath the publish catagory. How many cubes do we really need?

Thanks Dave and Ron, I'm going now and try both of your suggestions. Thanks again, I'll let you know, robertg.

Hi PTE Friends, I very seldom, publish a PTE show, but have experienced something I never had happen before. I am using PTE Deluxe ver 8.1, and cannot publish a MP4 video, also, wouldn’t upload to YouTube. I was however, able to publish and burn a DVD, for viewing on a TV. The show is 8m 20s in length, with 101, 300kb to 500kb slides, no animation, just a simple show. The video encoding gets to 75%, everytime, and just quits, with error message, show below. I might add, I tried, using PTE ver 7.5.10, and had the same outcome, with the exception, the audio, of the show was encoded, and would open with Media Player Classic, and VLC, but would not encode anything with 8.1. I thought that I might have a codec problem, so I downloaded, and installed K-Lite encoding pack, with the same results. If anyone has a clue what is going on, I would really appreciate the help, my computer specs, are listed below. Thank you, robertg

Ray, I enjoyed your trek in the marsh, very much. Best regards, robertg

Eric, what a great idea! We read our cards, one time, and then they are put away, with your idea, one could easily enjoy them again and again. Best regards, robertg.

Eric,a very good wakeup warning for those of us that tend to get our money's worth at the table, and get little to no exercise. (both describe me) Thanks for sharing, and a Merry and healthy Christmas, robertg.

Hi Rich, if you send the developers the email address you originally used to buy PTE they should send you the key, since back then the program was for lifetime. Best regards, robertg
