DVD Photo Slideshow FAQ

1. What Can the Software Do For Me?

DVD Photo Slideshow is a versatile yet easy-to-use software for creating slide shows that are both playable on your computer and your TV with standard DVD/VCD players. With just a few clicks, you can use DVD Photo Slideshow to view and edit photos, create and organize your photo albums, add background music, burn your photo albums on a blank CD/R or CD/RW. After that, you can enjoy your creative works on your computer or TV through a DVD/VCD player.

2. Why my VCD/DVD Player does not recongnize the burned CD?

The reason why some burned CDs cannot be played on your DVD/VCD player is due to the "Read" ability of your DVD/VCD player. Please make sure your DVD/VCD player supports VCD 2.0 format. Even so, according to our test, some models of DVD/VCD player (normally, old models) do not support some particular brand names of burned CD-R or CD-RW disc (especially for CD-RW disc). If this is your case, please turn to another brand name of blank CD-R disc (not CD-RW disc) to have a try. If there are still problems, please try to burn the CD-R with relatively low speed (say, the lowest speed your CD writer supports). Tips for play the burned CD: after insert the disc to the DVD player, please don not forget to press the "Play" button on your DVD player's remote control to play the photo slideshows.

3. When I play the burned CD, what should I do if I am required to turn on the "PBC"?

"PBC" means "PlayBack Control". It's a function for VCD 2.0 format to support playback of the disc menu. Please do not press any other buttons before you press the "Play" button. Otherwise, the main disc menu cannot be shown up. Sometimes, after you insert the burned disc into the DVD player, you see the blue screen on TV. If this is your case, you need to press the "Play" button before you press any digital button ( 1, 2, 3,..) on your DVD player's remote control to play the corresponding slide shows.

4. Why the size of my photos is only the quarter of the screen on TV?

When the photo is only the quarter of the screen on TV, you must be seeing the disc menu. Every disc menu selects the first photo of your photo slideshow you’ve prepared in the first step. When you see the main disc menu, please remember to press the digital button ( 1, 2, 3,..) on your DVD player's remote control to play the corresponding slide shows.

5. Why I cannot move forward and previous of my photos when I am using the simulation?

The simulation does not provide the function of moving forward and previous of pictures. So, you need to try this with your real DVD player’s remote control.

6. Can I modify or add new templates of the Disc Menu by myself?

Yes. But it needs patience. You can try to modify the templates by the following steps.
-Go to template folder under the set up folder of DVD Photo Slideshow(Normally, it is at C:\Program Files\DVD Photo Slideshow\template). You will find some .ini files (they are text files, you can open them with any edit tools.) and some sub-directories with the same name. You can see that there are so many parameters for the .ini file. So, it’s not easy to create your own templates with correct position shown on your TV. (Anyway, you can have a try if you are patient enough. Our next version will let users make their own disc menu more conveniently.)
-Go to the corresponding sub-directory, change the .JPG or .BMP files to change the parts of the template listed on the Disc Menu.

7. What is the resolution of my photos shown on TV?

DVD Photo Slideshow optimizes your digital photos and use the High Resolution Still Picture format which is supported by DVD/SVCD. This technique makes photos look great on TV. The resolution of the image shown on TV can be as high as 704x576.

8. Can I use multiple albums? How many photos can be burned into a normal CD?

Yes, you can have multiple albums, each with maximum 99 images. According to the standard of VCD 2.0 which supports the still picture, maximum 99 photos can be stored in one segment of the VCD. This is the reason why you can only add 99 pictures into one slideshow. But it can support totally 200 segments. So, the full version of DVD Photo Slideshow will support 99 x 200 = 1980 photos.

A DVD-5 (single sided) DVD-Video disc will hold nominally 133 minutes of high quality MPEG-2 encoded video, together with three surround-sound audio channels and four subtitle channels. (Without video compression one DVD-5 disc would hold only about 3 minutes of video).

A DVD-9 (dual layer) disc increases the playing time to 240 minutes of continuous video.

A DVD-10 (double sided) disc will hold a nominal 133 minutes on each side (ie 266 minutes in all), but the disc needs to be turned over to play the other side.

A DVD-18 (dual layer, doubled sided) disc can hold 240 minutes on each side and the disc also needs to be turned over to play the other side.

Most DVD is D9 or D5 format. DVD-Cloner can clone D9 to just ONE DVDr/rw disc (D5 format) without evident losing.
