nobeefstu Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Since PTE with video is still in beta testing ... you should be posting your issues in the Bug-reports for PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.0 Beta topic to keep it combined with other related bug issues and receive proper attention.You might begin by reading this topic ... noting post #50. You may need to post your video card specs to see if its the culprit of limiting the proper playback ... your comment "will play on two og my machines including a laptop but on others" indicates such possibility.*Again your issue will be better addressed when posted along with the other beta bug reports.

brutus Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Convert your source video to AVI using the DIVX codec option available in most [ but not all freebee video converters.] Then try again to embed your clip into PTE.John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video card and CPU.John,PicturesToExe uses built-in video codecs in slideshow engine. So if PicturesToExe plays correctly particular video clips on one PC, it should do on any others. The only possible problem - old video card which can't handle video playback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 If this video card has only 64 MB of memory it means that it's old one and doesn't support fully DirectX 9.0. We use partial hardware acceleration to play video.I know that even very old video card can play video clips, but they simple show video clips as is. In PicturesToExe we use complex processing to apply all effects including Pan/Zoom/Rotate/3D transform and mix video with pictures. This requires at least 128 MB video memory and video card released since 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
