Nero photo show deluxe is a seperate program , not part of nero 6, 7,or 8 which ever one that came with the burner. you have to buy the 2 seperatly as one has nothing to do with the other, It's almost like 2 different companys. up until just latly you couldn't even find it on the regular nero site, it had a site of it's own. I use it and love it, i have lots of my slide shows on the free web site they give you so anyone can go there and view them. When they wanted you to update , they wanted to sell you the full nero 8 now.

Dear Helz.
You stated that you are using a video camera that records to a memory stick. If it is the new HD [High Defininition Camera] it will record in the MP4 Format [not avi] - that is somewhat new to the current applications that are around today. If you have, I also have a simular camera to yours.
The only programs that I know that will encode to this format at this stage are . . . .
1/ Pinnacle Video Studio Vrs 11 - MP4 Coversion.
2/ Adobe Premiere Elements Vrs 4 - MP4 Conversion.
3/ Ulead Video Studio Vrs 11. - [Excellent] - MP4 Conersion - All burn to DVD excellantly.
Now, even if you could afford the renowned Adobe Premiere Pro which is used by the pro's and around the $550.00 mark, it at this stage doesn't support this format. - [coming soon]
At the moment I am using the pinnacle app and it records to DVD HD beautifully.
Just a hunch, but I hope I've helped somwhwhat.
Cheers jopa

I've just rechecked your last entry! Those progams I recommended to you will also work with your DV camera - [samall tape device] - garenteed to finish and burn your composition to DVD - CD etc
You will also need a firewire card installed if you haven't aready aquired ons, [quite cheap] and of course a firewire cable to connect to your camera to PC.
Hope this helps as well.
Jopa

Ok then forget about Nero for a minute when you upload you mpeg files see if you can play them first before you try and burn them to a disk, just put the disk in should auto run if it doesn?t go to my computer double click the drive the disk is in or right click it and select open with choose windows media player or power dvd if you?ve got it installed see if it plays if it doesn?t you haven?t got the correct codices installed on your pc to play them might be right might be wrong ?need that log though from Nero? I mean right click the thumb drive you know what I mean

Hi Everyone ;0)
I have read and re-read everyone's comments which has given me a revelation. As I originally said I recently bought Nero Photoshow Delux 4, but before this I only had Nero StartSmart that came with my DVD burner I purchased. Now I purchased this ages ago and I am now coming to the understanding that the Nero StartSmart had a limited use which expired ... then when I go to use it recently it says that I need to buy a DVD-Video Plug-in which then diverts me to buying Nero 8 but underneath it has different Plug-in's to include Nero Photoshow Delux 4 (which is what I purchased - but didn't know that this still wouldn't work because my Nero StartSmart was not the full version.) I realise this because in previous replys I was advised that what ever came with the burner wouldn't be the full version. Obviously that has got me thinking that I needed to buy Nero 8 and not the Plug-in that I mistakenly purchased??! Am I right??!
Now ... as for the Nero logs ... leading on from purchasing the Nero Photoshow Delux 4 Plug-in I said that it would burn my photoshow but wouldn't recognise it in either the computer or dvd. Well, this being the plug-in doesn't give the option for a Nero log ... that obviously got me thinking again as to why not ... well, I have realised that you all must have been talking about using the Nero Startsmart - DVD Nero Burning Rom SE. So, I've gone into there and tried to open any of my pictures, videos or shows in order to burn the DVD in order to get the logs ... well ... it doesn't recognise any of the formats displaying the message 'unexpected file format'(which leads me to think I'd need the full Nero version to convert them before burning them?)
I've gone through every step and every comment 3 times in order to come to this assumption/realisation ... what do you all think? That has got to be it hey ... I just never realised that I needed to buy the full version ... so if I did would all my problems be over?
I am well and truly exhausted ... gonna pick up children from school run and log back in to see what you guys say ... you will probably call me a muppet and laugh your sox off at my niavity??!!

If you buy it it will work, like i have been trying to tell you from the start. But photoshow was still a good addition. and like i said before if you don't want to pay for nero 8 then download dvd flick and imgburn and you will be ready to make all your slide shows from psd4 work in all players. Good luck
P>S> If you deside to buy nero , check in stores for sales and on line from one of the sellers of software, you should find it cheaper than what nero will charge you.

Don't forget that with psd 4 you can up load your slide shows to your free web site from photoshow circle that comes with psd 4 And then just send freinds the link and they can watch your shows o line. The only thing with up loading them to the site you must use the songs nero supplies because of copy rites. i do them for the site with their songs and up load them. you do not need to run them through any other program to upload. then i change the songs to anything i want for my dvd discs.

Good tip Donewell ... thanks ...
By the way I've downloaded both programs you suggested ... am I right in thinking that dvdflick converts and imgburn burns? I'm pressing buttons 'n' stuff ... you never know I might get the hang of these ha ha!
By the way ... you know when you post a reply above the box you type in you get different formatting options ... the fifth one along enables you to add image ... it just brings up (img) in brackets ... what do I have to do to add picture?!
Feels like I am having personalised IT sessions ha ha ... thanks again x

Your right dvd flick converts and imgburn burns.There are good guides here on dawn. as for adding an imgage , i have never done it, so someone else will have to jump in here.

Did you do what I suggested? Forget about Nero can you open any of your mpeg video files with windows media player etc and can you view your pictures in windows picture and fax viewer both programs are installed with windows?

Killalot ... thanks ... I am able to view both my video files and picture files using Windows Media Player ... is that a good thing?!
Donewell ... I'm not having any luck at all! Downloaded both DVD Flick and IMGburn ... when I open DVD Flick and go to add a title I try to open just a normal video file (original - nothing changed or formatted) it comes up with an error message that reads 'Cannot render thumbnail for c:\destination of file is listed next. The video codec may be unsupported.' I then tried to add the photoshow that I created with Nero Photoshow Delux 4 and it added it no problems. It was successful in converting. I then used IMGburn to burn which it did. Worked on computer but not in DVD player?!
Am afraid to purchase Nero 8 just in case it doesn't recognise my file types as did DVD Flick ... confused ...
Hope everyone ok ... I'm knackered. Is there a good site where I can talk directly online to people about similar issues etc?

the file you tried to put in flick might already be dvd compatable and not need converting, flick is only a converter. In imgburn did you use dvd-R or dvd+r . I use dvd+r and booktype to dvd-Rom and they play in all. Some dvd players are picky. If you have both kinds try one of each in your stand alone player.
PS. you can try nero for 15 days for free

What format is the video file you are trying to ad to DVD flick? To find out the format right click it and select properties see what it says I added some mpeg 4 video files to dvd flick and made a dvd_video yesterday with no problems they was taken with my Samsung mobile what make is your camera and your camcorder

I've had some success ... my word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks like my videos are already compatible and therefore I didn't need to use DVD Flick which is what you said Donewell ... Went into IMGBurn with DVD+RW ... didn't work ... tried DVD-RW and IT WORKS in computer and on my DVD recorder ... ;0) Can try Nero for 15 days hey that sounds really good will definately give that a shot once I have more clues about what it is I am doing right!
Killalot ... when I right click my videos they only say that they say the type of file is 'Nero Showtime File' ... but is that only because I've opened them using this program? Don't know if it's MPEG but I'm guessing it is?! My camera is a Sony Cybershot.
I guess I can play around now and experiment?! (Not too much because you guys will seriously slap me ha ha!) Am I right in thinking that IMG Burn is only for burning videos? What should I do to get my photos onto DVD disk?!

Now that you know how, put your shows on regular disks to keep or give out. the rw 's can be a head ache, and you wont want to be using them over and deleting your shows anyway. And the imgburn or nero express will put your pics on a disk just use create data disk in nero express or just add pic's as files in imgburn

If you want professional looking photo slide shows with menus and transitions try this software like I said easy to use and gives excellent results does cdr and DVD slide shows
You can do slide shows with Nero but more trouble then its worth well was when I tried it some years ago the bit about dvd+rw does your recorder support this type of disk can you burn a dvd+rw with your recorder if it can burn these disk?s it should be able to read it if you don?t know what disk it supports Google it or go the manufactures website

I can tell you don't know about the program he is using. photoshow delux. It is not nero vision that he makes the slide show with. photoshow is a different prgram altogether just like your progold, and is very easy to use. it has nothing to do with nero suite, you don't havee to have nero suite at all to use it!

When did you buy photoshow deluxe 4,? The new one is psd 5 and it's been out for awhile. If you just bought psd 4 in the last 2 or 3 months then i would get a hold of nero and request a free upgrade to 5.
