Help please,

I created a couple of groovy slideshows using MYDVD out of the V8 Suite, after a sucessful burn of the project to a Memorex DVD-R 16x Disc I noticed that chunks of audio and slides would come up missing. Being a good little researcher I read through the discussion forum and got the general idea that Videowave was a better solution for creating slideshows...which is what I did.

Now that I once again have a likable project I tried to burn another disc, this time all looks good i.e.. lettered slides, transitions and audio..except.. I have missing images that have been replaced by black slides. The time duration of the slides are the same, the audio plays right along but no image, I count 12 out of 333 slides missing.

I tried creating an image then copying that image direct to disk but that created a .wmv that had no audio and could not be recognized by DVD players.

Any idea why I continually get bad results upon encoding and burning?
If I create a disk image first how do I then create a DVD disc from the image?
If I have to many slides, can I break them up into chapters in the same project..or do I need to create seperate projects?

P.S. All of my projects look perfect during the previews available in MYDVD and Videowave.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm a Newbie Ya know.

Any chance you used a 3D transition before the missing images? Have you run the graphics test?

Hey Gary,

I did run the graphics test, although I saw no difference between the hardware and software results. The missing images do not follow a 3D transition, they follow other still images. The slides following the few 3D transitions I have are fine...I am using diffusion transition for all of the slides except the few I mentioned.

Thanks for you reply.

P.S. I saved a .ISO image last night and am getting ready to burn it using classic copy, I'll let you know the results.

Teh 3D transitions and Effects are NOT available when set to software render and is intended for those video cards that do not support the 3D functions in DirectX 9. I see that you updated your signature and your video cards should not be a problem. Just make sure you have the latest ATI drivers and DirectX (jun2006).
