When I burn to disc (DVD format) and then try to play it for TV - it tells me incompatible TV format. That is when it is set at either PAL or NTSC. No problem with earlier Pixplay. When I go to folder and burn using Nero everything OK. Any Idea what the problem is please?

Thanks for reply - here are details:-
Jpegs from computer file ( originally from digital cameras )
PAL
DVD-R
Three different DVD players that worked ok on earlier Pixplay
Main difference was upgrading Pixplay but don't know from which version to which.

Have you downloaded the plugins for DVD PixPlay? Here is the link:

Since you used the Dvd format, PixPlay converts the input to a Movie format. You may not have the proper codecs to play the program. Here is the link for K-lite codecs:

Are your pictures from a standalone camera or from a digital camrecorder? Many photo companies use their own "special" codecs, whereas, DvD PixPlay uses the standard Windows codecs. Nero uses a different set of codecs so that is the reason for it working.

Hi Bill

Hmmm, that's odd. Have you tried using different disk types, in particular the ones that worked for you in the past?

Thanks for continued help - have used both DVDs I've used for ages and have tried different one (Memorex).
Have re-installed Dixplay + plugin + K-lite codecs.
Have narrowed DVD player down to one where problem persists - i.e.
Panasonic DMR-EX75 - { see posting by Baj 10 May on this forum }.
No problem when I use DixPlay, save to Folder and burn with Nero. Have also burned with ULead Video Studio 9 and also no problem.
Can continue to save to folder etc and problem solved!
