Hi, I bought pix play 3 days ago. I think I was over anxious to begin. I made a slideshow with 457 pictures (no wideos). It is 10 hours later, nothing else is running, and it is still generating ouput files. What am I doing wrong??
Tnx

The actual burning to disk will probably take less than an hour depending on your burner speed. The slow part when outputting your slideshow to disk is generally the encoding part, where your music, videos and images and transitions are all converted into a single video file to make them playback on DVD players. That task is very CPU intensive so if you do not have a fast PC with lots of ram it can take quite a while.
The main option in DVD PixPlay that affects this is the output quality setting. Highest quality can literally take from to two to ten times as long as normal quality so you should only use it if you are not satisfied with the standard quality.

| Tnx, will try that. Still new at this. Is there a text frame on pix play that is similar to the one on windows movie maker that shows layered text (the back layer moving around?) |

Hi Antoinette
After High Quality encoding, the other options that slow burning are the use of transition and motion effects.
At this time there are no animated text options.

No, we banned South African hirings after Rugby World Cup 2007 
(This is just a joke, i have a number of South African expat friends, but presently none as staff).

| Don't know what you will think of SA after the Soccer in 2010. It's hectic here. The roads are a mess. I hope they will be fininshed before the games. In the mean time, I will keep myself busy with your program. Going slow, but still impressed!! Enjoy your weekend |
