I posted this message more than a week ago and it has not appeared.
The problem is that Style Movie Show #2 only displays 12-13 photos and then quits. Does it have a limit? |

I don't think there is any limit. I just ran a test with 79 images and it showed them all.
If the problem shows up prior to CAPTURE, then I would check your images.
If the problem shows up during CAPTURE, then I would suspect that you're trying to capture to either AVI or DV AVI and hitting the size limit. _________________ Bill

Thanks,
Yes the problem is not in creating the Album, but in Capture, as I mentioned in my original post. I finally found the post but it had no replies. Yes I am capturing to AV DV. What is the size limit? Did I miss something or is that mentioned in Help? |

I don't work with AVI or DV AVI. I think Nan is the one who works with them the most.
My understanding is that there is a 2gb or 4gb limit on the AVI files, and that this has nothing to do with 3D-Album, but is a general limitation. I don't believe it is covered in any HELP information, but I could also be missing it.
Here's what my tutorial says:
| Quote: | | Why do some people prefer AVI or DV-AVI? Because AVI is uncompressed, and DV-AVI uses lossless compression (much like png over jpg). Now, currently, DVDs are MPEG-2 video files which are compressed video files. The thing about compressed files is that each time they are compressed they lose a little quality. It??s the reason some people prefer to work with TIFF over JPG. The DVD authoring program will compress the DV-AVI when it creates the DVD video folders. I??ve been lucky and satisfied with my results using DVD-NTSC (mpeg-2) from the get go. But, if you have quality problems, try the DV-AVI approach. Does the compression affect you? I created a 28 second test. DVD NTSC was about 22mb and DV AVI was about 855mb. |

Bill,
Thanks for your reply. It was a big help. I had been using AVI or DV-AVI and taking the output into Pinnacle Studio. I didn't know that Studio would accept MPG. I ran a test using to CAPTURE my album using DVD NTSC as you suggested, and it went from >4GB to <1 GB!! I then took it into Studio to be sure it works, and it does!
Thanks again |
