I brought this software to make a slideshow for my dad's funeral because it looked perfect. After finishing the slideshow the day of the viewing I tried to burn it and was given a messege that I needed to download a plug in to burn the DVD. Finally got to a place with internet because I was on the road fine with that. It took 7 hours to I guess format and burn DVD. I have never seen anything like this. I can format and burn a DVD in like 20 minutes using Photo Story 3 and Windows DVD maker. What is the problem??? I really am upset. Was not able to use the DVD for my father because it took too LONG. Brand new laptop with dual core processors and Windows Vista. If this matter cannot be resolved I want my money back. This is suck a rip off. Someone please respond! Lisa

Thanks for the reply I have not been able to check online in a few days. I like this software ok but six hours to burn even the first DVD is not for me. Also a little jerky. Again thanks for your reply.

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.
