LumenLux Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Catrick, tell me please, when you are in PTE screen to create .avi - Instead of pressing "Create AVI", what happens when you press "Preview?" Does the preview AVI play with sound? What default player opens to play the Preview AVI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Techman1 Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Catrick,What type of audio/music files are you using in this slideshow? Are they all MP3's? If not, please try some MP3's in place of those and see if you get the sound back in your AVI file. If they are already MP3's, try putting in a different MP3 and see if this resolves the issue.The steps you are following appear to be correct and should work fine. It seems that several people have had problems with their audio files, but I haven't seen this particular problem.Let us know what you find out. Good luck!Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 HiI recently received a DVD of PTE sequences from a friend and when I played it, all the pictures, dissolves etc worked but no sound. I was disappointed as I thought I'd miss all the music. I played around with settings on my DVD recorder and just before giving up, I opened the player reinstalled the DVD and BINGO ! Perfect sound and pictures! Have you thought about testing the CD or DVD on another player or just check out the settings etc.Just a thought - hope it works. Best wishesMaureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catrick Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Okay, I open up PTE and find my .pte file. When I press "Preview" I get full screen viewing of the .pte with sound. All the music I am using are MP3's. When I create the .exe file, the slide show works just fine including the music. It is only when I create the .avi file and try to open the .avi file in either Roxio or Ulead and I press "Preview" in Roxio or Ulead that I have no music attached to the .avi.

ccmanz Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 What Audio Codec is picked.You can look at it before you create the Temp AVI file.Click on the Audio Codec Button.mine is:No Compression (PCM) and 44,100 kHz; 16 bit; stereoMaybe that might make a different.You also might try a WAV file.

LumenLux Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Â When I press "Preview" I get full screen viewing of the .pte with sound. Â Still trying to help here - The preview I am asking about is NOT the full screen preview you seem to be refering to. On the PTE main screen, when you select "Video", the "Making of AVI video" screen opens. On this screen you have the choice to "Create AVI" or "Preview". This is the preview of the avi file that I am asking about. Does this AVI preview work with sound and if so, what video player is it using on your machine?

Catrick Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I appreciate all the help. I tried to burn one in Ulead last night. Video no sound. Wouldn't burn in Roxio at all. Got an error. Did as you asked and "previewed" in the same window as "create avi". Again video with no sound. Default player was Windows media player. I am running Win98 SE on this computer.

Â Default player was Windows media player. Â I am running Win98 SE on this computer.I think the above info will make it "easy" for Igor to know what is going on. We just need to get his attention and of course he is very busy on the improvements coming in the next Beta.To me, the fact that you get no sound in the PTE AVI window, means the problem is not with Ulead or Roxio or any other burner program. Also the problem seems to be before the point where you must leave PTE open for the sound to be present. Wish I knew more. My DVD efforts are all XP, so maybe someone using Win98 SE can suggest some direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you will find all of the above in PTE main screen/project options/ music (tab).<Use internal mp3 player> option: We recommend to Disable this option, i.e. use external player.> I think much of the help file has not been updated yet. I think the external vs. internal player is no longer relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 All right Catrick - I think I have figured out what is happening !?!If you are doing the following:PTE mainscree/Customize slide/music tab/and checking play new background music file(s)Then the PTE Preview (main screen) and the created .exe file will both run fine and play the music. BUT using the above method to call the music results in NO music when you make the avi or use the AVI preview!Try this: remove any music references you have made in the "customize slide" screens. Then, use PTE main screen/project options/ music (tab)/check the Play background music box/add (music file here.) Now when you run the AVI Preview you should have your sound and finally also on your DVD or SVCD.Now, is that a "bug", I don't know. But it seems to be a "trap" in your case. I really hope this solves it for you, please let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catrick Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 YOU ARE AN ANGEL. It works!!! I have music in the video preview. I am too tired to function anymore tonight. I will try to burn another (coaster???) tomorrow. Thanks for all the help and I will let you know how this turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
