Screen Saver

[Bohemia]

I want to create a screen saver, burn it to a DVD and give it to a friend in Turkey to copy, sell and make funds for a local charity. (My images).

I have seached here for an idiots guide but have failed. It can't be that difficult.

I've burnt something to DVD but it won't open on my PC let alone anyone elses. I don't think its a .scr although I pressed screensaver in the options window.

Please help with a quick idiots guid???

why are you putting it on a dvd --a screensaver is an exe in reality and will not play on a normal tv/dvd player

I don't want it for a TV or DVD! I want it to play on someone else's PC but Pictures to Exe would not accept a CD!

Bohemia,

PTE and Video Builder does not have the capabilities to burn CD/DVD Discs in Data format. Video Builder just burns discs in the Video format.

Use your Windows or other 3rd party burner program to burn your screen saver file to a disc in Data format.

I forgot to add that although I have tried to save it as .exe and .scr it defaults to .pte

I thought Pictures to exe was supposed to be easy.

Thanks for that nobeefstu, could you be a bit more specific please? I haven't a clue what you mean sorry!

Bohemia,

It is - once you know how!

Try "Create screensaver ..." or "Create slideshow as", (for .exe files), instead of "Save as".

[Bohemia]

Hmmm, I've done both of those, it saves as a .pte

Bohemia,

for this exercise

lets say your show is called Bohemia

first

save as command

and it should save as a pte

and if you saved in the folder you were working in

you should now have a file called

Bohemia.pte

then create slideshow as command

and it should default as

Bohemia.exe

and it should go in the same folder

so now you should have a small bohemia.pte file

and a quite larger bohemia.exe file

see if the exe file will run as you set the commands in the pte file

report back to forum for next step
