"VCD or DVD authoring program that supports WMV files ???
After getting some great help on this site, I bought the program --Plus!
Photo Story 2-- and, with a lot of time and messing about, created a slide show, with music, etc.. It looked pretty darn good for my first effort, I thought. With the PPS(2) program, I was able to burn my first Video CD that worked pretty well on my Sony DVD/CD player. Then, I fell into the trap of "free upgrade to Photo Story 3" from MS. I went and downloaded the "free upgrade" just fine. I had all of the necessary validations, etc. All seemed well. The new program -PPS3- has some great features that are not on -PPS2-...But.... When I burned a disk in the Video CD format..it didn't work in the very same Sony player that had worked well yesterday. Some additional reading and I found the answer.. "PPS3 does NOT have the ability to directly produce a Video CD as did PPS2" It follows with..... "If you intend to save your story on your computer, and then create a Video CD (VCD) or a DVD, in the Settings dialog box, select the profile that is recommended for your VCD or DVD player. Then import the story into another VCD or DVD authoring program that supports WMV files and burn the story onto a CD or DVD." Further...."Then import the story into a VCD or DVD authoring program that supports WMV files and burn the story onto a CD or DVD... or use Movie Maker to convert the story into a DV-AVI file for your authoring software. " I guess I do not know if I have a "VCD AUTHORING PROGRAM that supports WMV files " on my computer or not???? Could someone please share the names of any that I might have, or list any that are reasonable in price... so... if I have to buy something, I will at least know what I am looking for. This is all Greek to this old grandpa... Thanks a lot RichG TX -- RichG manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners .. |

Thanks, I jumped over the Visual CD part and bought a Sony DVD/CD burner
today ( $119.00) that had Nero programs included ( $69.00) Seemed like a reasonable $50.00 for a DVD burner (net difference in the two prices)!
