Hi:
I'm pretty happy with EMC8 but I notice some bugs when I make a slideshow of photos & audio using videowave8 ;
1-When I change the pan & zoom settings for a photo in the slideshow, the change isn't apparent when I play the image afterwards. I have to go to the dropdown list in "Edit" , undo the change & then redo it. Only then can I see the change in the pan & zoom when I play the slideshow.
2-sometimes when I play back an audio track with several mp3's in timeline mode, the 1st mp3 is played & the playback bar moves to the next mp3 but I hear the first mp3 playing again.
Any suggestions?

I have a PIV 1.7 GHZ Intel CPU WINXP SP2 with 1 GHZ of Ram & a 500GB HD.


Also I have a couple of questions
1-Would another GB of RAM help speed up my PC when I'm using EMC8? The PC seems to freeze for almost a minute while it completes some tasks. Windows Task Mgr shows EMC8 sometimes using 800MB of memory.
2-How long of a video should I be able to record on a 4.7GB DVD? I created an 18 minute slideshow consisting of 200 jpeg images around 4mb each & then I tacked on music. at the end. I could only get a 60 minute video at most. Should I be able to create a longer video?

thx.

Production and development of V8 ended about 9/06… Never really messed with Pan & Zoom or Audio to any extent. I am sure someone will be able to comment on that.

Yes more RAM will help a little with EDITING. It will do absolutely nothing for render time as rendering/burning only use about 300mb. Your CPU is really your bottleneck. Make sure you are not sharing it with anything else while you are editing.

Defragging your HD will help speed things up a little too.

A 4.7gb disc will hold about 1 hour of DVD Movie at highest quality. You can get more but quality is sacrificed for time.
