I have made this dvd so many times I can't count, every time it is something new. I thought if I upgraded to the video builder it would solve all my problems. at first it was the pictures would stop and the music would keep going, then i got some error, and looked it up and set my region in the software and on the dvd drive, now the SOUND IS SKIPPING. (this has not happened before in any prior dvd I had burned) what is going on? I am on a time crunch here and going CRAZY! I am using Windows 7 on an ASUS desktop PC Intel core i5 CPU 605 @ 3.20 GHz 6GB memory 64bit operating system. This computer only less then 6 months old. I don't think it is the computer. ATAPI DVD player too... Can anyone help me??????

I do people slide shows and would love to just import the orginal file into pics to exe and then put a white border on it in this program without having to do all of them in photoshop. That would be a nice feature. Thanks Phoebe

Well, I hope it isn't to soon to speak but I am happy to say that I tried the trial version of the video builder and loved it. You can watch your slideshow convert right there. I played the copyrighted dvd back on my computer and everything was in tact. I then purchased it and now waiting on my serial number email, I hope it doesn't take to long it is usually instant. I thank you all for all your wonderful support and quick responses. For the one who told me about the Hardware Acceleration D3D check box, I went back and for some reason it was still checked. I unchecked it and my music wasn't garbled anymore. I am just happy that I think I might be done with this thing. My next headache is learning the timeline with multiple songs. I got this one figured out to stop at the first song that I wanted it to, but I can't figure out if I want several songs with different themes. Such as.. Childhood -Song 1 Teen years - Song 2 Wedding- Song 3 Children- song 4 & 40th birthday- Song 5

Yes this is my first time using anything above 4.8. I downloaded 5.0 but never used it, then I found this version available and thought I would give it a whirl. Well before I got this email I uninstalled then reinstalled the program. Thinking that would fix it. It did but now the music is garbled in certain areas of the show. I unchecked the Hardware Acceleration D3D button and the same thing happened. I have a good computer cause I run photoshop on it, it handles most anything. I know I have either 1 or 2 gigs of ram. My husband is going to check the sound next. I will never get this done.

Thank you, If I can figure out why the "fade in fade" out won't work, and can get it working again I will pay for the VideoBuilder. Then I won't have to worry about which program to use or if it will work, ect.. I have some DVD RW's I just kept thinking every time it was going to work "this time!" I apreciate all the support. I just hope to get this done today cause I am stressed wanting to get it done. Phoebe

Yes, I have read that tutoural, and I did leave it open. I don't know what is going on with this fade in and fade out thing though cause I can't proceed with that not working. Phoebe

Oh yes I am using DVD's not CD, I should correct myself a little better. Phoebe

I am sorry I left that part out, I did make a new AVI, or should I say DVD-video. Then proceeded with the process. Well, as I finished that last sentence I thought I would go back and just recreate the whole slideshow. Now I am very upset because the ONLY transistion I use is the fade in fade out. I do children's portraits. This is not working anymore, it starts out fading in and fading out, then about the 5 picture in or so it just disapears and pops up. No I don't have that other program Video Builder, it cost extra $$ and I was under the impression that you did not have to have it. I have had this program for 3 or 4 years now and I loved it but now I am getting so fusterated I don't know what to do! Phoebe

ok, I downloaded it, opened up the slide show in version 5.1 then converted the file in WinAVI then burned it in NERO on the DVD -Video setting. It is still doing the same thing! Any suggestions? I don't know HOW many CD's I have done through for this one slideshow and I am about to go crazy! Phoebe

Thank you, I just downloaded it, and I am going to try it. One other thing I was having an issue with is that I would make a slideshow with music. Make the AVI file. (I was selecting custom AVI) and then converting the file and burning it. When I put it in the dvd player I would get 2 or 3 pictures into the slideshow and the pictures would stop but the music would keep running. Is this the program that was doing this or my avi converter? I was using DVD Santa then went and got WinAVI. I was under the impression it was the converter. I was so desperate I was about to run out and get Ulead as well to fix this problem, or was it the program itself all along? Thanks, Phoebe

I have the slideshow down to a T on my timing of the music, ect. But when I burn it, the music is completel off. What am I doing wrong?
