  8. PTE won't play in Blu-ray Player

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Attached...."File is corrupt or unsupported"

    The USB ports on  the Vizio flatscreen are on the back, , no light, and they are oriented so that the thumb-drive must be inserted flat to the panel, and have to find vacant one in the dark.......PITA. 

    The Blu-ray is up front.

    Be nice if PTE would work in Blu-ray.

    Thanks again for your interest.

  9. PTE won't play in Blu-ray Player

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Just have to ask you folks for help....why won't a test project that I've encoded with PTE as an avi file and a mp4 file on my thumb-drive, won't play on a 2-year-old Sony BDP-BX350 Blu-ray player?  Files reported as "corrupt".  Both files will play on my desktop proggies, like VLC, POTplayer, etc, but not the Blu-ray player.  Specs of player in image.

    Alternatively, I can use M/S MovieMaker to encode mp4 and wmv files which play wonderfully on the Blu-ray player.

    So what's the trick to getting the PTE files to play on a relatively new Blu-ray player?

    Thanks in advance.

  10. Questions on License Keys

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    That wasn't the key..."similar to".

    Thanks for the info Igor.

    Cheers,

    jim

    Please don't publish your current key on the forum!

    The order page on WnSoft site

    http://www.wnsoft.com/picturestoexe/buy/

    contains two links:

    1. Upgrade from versions 1.0 – 6.5 to Deluxe edition

    2. Upgrade from versions 7.0 – 7.5 to Deluxe edition

    When you click to the link, you'll see a form to enter your current license key.

    First link allows you to enter long license license. Because for these versions (up to 6.5) we sent only long keys as a text or as a file.

    The second link allows to enter short license keys which we sent for versions 7.0 and 7.5.

    You need to click this link:

    http://www.wnsoft.com/picturestoexe/buy/upgrade?from=deluxe&version=1&to=deluexe

    and enter your old license key.

    Thanks in advance!

  12. SOLVED....IPTC Captions Again...

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks for being there, Lin.....you're right, the aspect ratio. Positioning the caption in "center" template shows up in the mp4 now. I'll play around with the bottom positioning to get it to work, now that I know it's the aspect ratio.

    And....thanks for the tip on Kantaris. It's a nice viewer, and I've switched.

    Cheers,

    Jim

  16. Display Captions in Metadata

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I know it's been discussed before, but just a friendly reminder that there are some of us that would like to see PTE optionally display embedded captions, in the upcoming release.

    I've been using Windows Live Movie Maker recently, just to create quick video, and really like the "Cinematic" effect on the EXIF/IPTC embedded captions.

    No, ctrl-C, ctrl-V won't do on all the slides.

    Thanks for your kind consideration...looking forward to this feature.

    Cheers.

  18. Free AVG

    Jim,

    Be careful about 3rd.party Defrag Utilities ~ IObit is quite safe as it has an 'Auto-Backup Utility' where others don't!!

    Anyway your PC has its own (inbuilt) Defrag-Utility and the "attachment" shows you how to access and use it.

    Brian (Conflow).

    You're correct Brian...but the 'Auto-Backup Utility' is in the ASC app, so if you only run IObit's Smart Defrag, it will not automatically backup, if I'm understanding their utilities correctly. I've been aware and used the MS defrag utility since the DOS days, but the real-time defrag of IObit's app is attractive. However, there are some horror stories in IObit's forums, and they don't seem to be responsive to some bugs posted by users. So maybe I cool my heels on Smart Defrag.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Thanks Brian for the IObit website tip. Currently trying their Smart Defrag. I've been looking for a real-time defragger (free of course), to replace Piriform'

    s Defraggler, which I've used for some time. Haven't had the guts to use their registry cleaner in ASC...have used Eusings for several years without a problem.

    Thanks again Brian for the tip.

  21. Robert Service poem about Yukon

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    That's the one Ken. I've searched "Yukon" last week and it does not exist on my PC.

    I've got a 10MB limit on email attachments so I don't know if that will fly or not. Posting it on a file sharing site like mediafire.com for download would be nice. But if you want to try, shoot me the file.

    Thanks much. Glad to know someone archives the good ones.

    Cheers,

    Jim

  25. PTE Made Easy tutorials - Continuously Updated

    in Tutorials & Video Lessons

    Posted

    My gratitude and compliments to Lin for helping me understand the pan/zoom/rotation (pzr) functions in PTE. I've used PTE for 8 years, but have avoided the pzr functions. I don't read manuals, and I tried to use intuition to figure out the pzr features, without success.

    I tried Lin's videos on pzr functions, and discovered it was very easy, once you understand the insertion of transition points.....almost embarrassingly easy. I did successfully finish my project. The pzr feature adds another dimension to the slide show.

    And, thanks to Igor for the many intuitive features coded into the pzr functions. The right and left clicking always seems to bring up what I'm looking for.

    So again, thanks Lin for taking the time to produce such a valuable resource for us PTE users. I owe you one. I'm your neighbor to the north, in the "Fort". Maybe sometime on a trip to Denver I can buy you a round.

    Cheers,

    Jim
