I have struggled through creating a slide-show in Creator2009, now with some success.  However, I still cannot sort a problem with Transitions.  With some, I find the transition between images breaks up with black patches.  Has anyone come across this, and if so do you have any advice to offer?

regards,

RWB

It will probably trace back to your Video Card…

What do you have? Are the drivers for it up to date?

You may find that by switching to Software Render it will work. MyDVD – Tools – Options – Render – Software.

Many Thanks for the suggestion.  I changed to Software Render (whilst in VidioWave) but it did not solve the problem  Indeed some of the Transitions disappeared from the selection window.

I am using an NVIDIA Ge 6200 for which I downloaded the most recent driver.

Any other suggestion would be most welcome

Yes, you will lose some transitions by switching to software mode.

That card is ancient in computer terms; the design was from almost 5 years ago.  Try updating your DirectX 9c from MicroSoft.  That may help but I thnk you are stuck using software transitions without a newer and better video card.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Again thanks for the advice.

Before I change the videocard one thing I should say.  Before I bought Creator2009 I used myDVD10 and the transitions were okay with the present Videocard.  (I thought up-dating to Creator 2009 would give me added features.)

If your advice is still the same I will get a new Videocard

Before looking at a new card, I maybe try one of the older Nvidia drivers. I'm running a 6200 in my system and have found sometimes it works better with some of the older drivers. It's at 185.85 right now on my W7 system.

If you do look at a different card, you may want to consider an ATI one. There haven't been many posts re transition issues with those.

I changed to 185.85 but without success.  Before I go further maybe I should be more specific about the transitions in question.  The ones I have difficulty with are "Ball Mesh, Coin Flip, Orbit, Skew Rotate, Dual Flip".  The present situation with 185.85 is that Software render these transitions disappear.  In Haredware render they are broken up.

Still need help

That's a video card problem - some transitions are unavailable in software render

The fact that they break up in hardware is a fair indication that your graphics system just can't cope with the demands made on it
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed
