mtnman Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've now run into another problem. With all the help here I have successfully burned a DVD using the burn DVD command. The problem is that it freezes while running. I have tried it on 4 computers and wioth 3 or 4 differant presentation programs. Always the same result it freezes on the same image and neither the program nor the computer will run. I need to push the start button and hold to clear everything. Is it as simple as the image is corrupted or some other issue? The presentation is about 276 images at 1.2GB and it freezes on image 87.Thanks again for all help on this forum.Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnman Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 will it play in a stand alone dvd player /tv setupken Okay tries it on a standalone DVD and tv. Ran fine right up to the point that is stopped on computers. Player stopped and message poped up "disc is dirty". I've been told there is no way to clean so I will burn a new one and hope.

Hawk Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi TerryIs it as simple as the image is corrupted or some other issue? The presentation is about 276 images at 1.2GB and it freezes on image 87.One thing that you may want to try is creating an .AVI – select “ DVD Video – disk “.In the section to the right of word “ Preview “ set the time to 400 seconds or what ever time you estimate should get you passed slide # 87.Click " Preview "Do not be concerned with the quality of preview play back.If it plays past # 87 then this would indicate your presentation should be ok, and problem would be with the burning process or media.If your presentation acts up at the same spot # 87 then I would look again at your project in that area.In your answer to Ken you mention it plays back alright with the .EXE, however I am wondering if the speed of the computer gets past this problem were the encoding is not !Dig the " TDK's" out of the trash if not too late !

mtnman Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Tried creating an .avi file and it worked. I was able to burn a disc from that file using SonicDVD program. It wrote over one of the old attempts with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 did you use the tdk disks?ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnman Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 did you use the tdk disks?kenYes -one of the discs that didnt work before. So now the questions is why do the images appear to be lower quality. Definitely not as sharp as on monitor and I think not a ssharp as when I used the DVD creator on the file menu?

mtnman Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks Ken. You and others here are a great help. I probably should have been clearer in last post. I was viewing the DVD on differant computers with the same or better resolution. in one case. then the one where I created the project. The original JPEGs,actually JPEG fron RAW,seem better then the images on the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
