burning question . . .

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, another newbie wannabe slideshow creator with a dumb question, hope you can help me.

I have purchased and downloaded the latest version of pictures2exe and have spent many hours preparing my first slideshow of underwater photos from my last dive vacation. The preview is very exciting and I was happy to co-ordinate music tracks to the slides. Came out at almost 100 MB.

My problem is . . . I cannot manage to burn the project onto a CD-R in SVCD format. At first, I bought and attempted to use Nitro-Burn&Go software, but the format was not accepted. So I downloaded ULEAD DVD MovieFactory 3, (pic2exe "help" recommendation) followed all the recommended actions and I repeatedly get error messages. The message states that the format is incompatible. It seems the only format that ULEAD accepts is a "DMF Project" (.dwz). I even tried saving as a DVD format (thinking I could purchase a DVD writer), but it was still rejected by ULEAD. Hopefully, there is a simple fix and I am doing something wrong?

Sorry if this question has been asked before.

Thank you for the reply Ken. I had studied that link before, but found the tutorial and subsequent discussions to be inconsistant with my problem. I am running Ulead DVD Moviefactory 3 . . . with different screens than described. I did manage to figure things out on my own and have burned a disk.

However, the resolution of my images is horrible, artifacts appearing halfway through the 10 minute show and breaks in the music score. I am not happy with the output at all.

Of course, the 62 UW images I used are unreduced 2560x1920 resolution at 75% of the screen and my monitor is a 20 inch HD flatscreen. So, my expectations were very high after viewing the preview mode before burning. Never the less, I expected much better results.

Guess I need to either do more research or wait until my new Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Digital Media Suite program arrives. I give up on Ulead.

I will apologize for asking this beforehand
