nickles Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 For those that might be interested. The following is my totally trouble free method for converting PTE slideshows to DVD:1.) I normally create a standard slideshow for 1024x768 screen resolution. The background music is normally mp3s @ 128kbits.2.) To make a NTSC DVD, I use the PTE Video Codec in custom AVI mode with settings of 720x480x29.97fps.3.) Under the slideshow screen options, I set for fit to screen at 90% of screen. The 90% makes the resultant video just fit the entire slide on a standard NTSC TV.4.) I then feed the resultant PTE vid file to a Cinema Craft Encoder Basic Mpeg-2 encoder. Set at 2 pass vbr with an average bit rate of 6000kbits. A min of 2000kbits and a max of 9000kbits. The audio is mpeg-1 at 224kbits.5.) I the use Mediachance's DVD Lab to author and burn the DVD.Very simple and works great. Cinema Crafts encoder is fast(relatively speaking compared to tmpgenc) and yields excellent results. DVD Lab is also excellent, much..much better than my experiences with Pinnacle Studio or Roxio, or NERO, or ULEAD.CinemaCraftMediaChanceJust thought I would pass my excellent experiences along....
