k is there any way i can change the file format on roxio so that way they show from the file???? or where is the file located normally so i can change it

 

I'm not sure what you're asking.

 

In VideoWave, do a File\ Browse for missing files. In DVD Builder, do a Title\Browse for missing files.

 

The original files/pictures must be on the second computer.

I don't know, but I'm not sure you understand.

 

When you edited those files/pictures in VideoWave, the program saves the edited files as .png files.

 

The easiest thing to do would be to find those .png files on the other computer and move them to your current computer.

 

Do a Windows/ Start/ Search/ All files and Folders / Advanced/ Search in Hiddenl files and folders AND Subfolders for .png files on the original computer. Then copy those files to your second computer. It's usually in a hidden folder called Application Data\Roxio\VideoWave 7\ EditedImages

 

You will still have to relink them, but you won't have to re-edit all the pictures.

 

If I haven't included enough detail, please ask.

The question marks mean that the program cannot find your pictures. You'll have to do a Browse for missing files and 'link' them back to the program by finding where they are stored on your hard drive and selecting them. The program does not load your pictures into the program. You have to have the original pictures on your computer.

 

If you've changed those pictures, Roxio will save them as .png files (usually in a hidden folder on the computer where they were changed.)

 

Making a project on one computer and moving it to another computer is difficult at best.
