RE: Burning Photo Story 3 to DVD problem.

I make DVD-movies all the time..I would say ROXIO is very good..I used the
Photo Story 3 for a Still Slide Show..its PAN&ZOOM feature is excellent..but
I always "BURN" my DVD's in ROXIO DVD-Builder..the most important thing is
compatibility..your DRIVE must be Compatible with your BLANK Disk..the
DVD(dash)Disk is your Compatible disk for the Home DVD-player(and PC)..the
DVD(plus)Disk is PC-only..and the new DVD-Dual Layer is a PLUS Disk only(so
far)..Do Not Play a PLUS Disk on your DASH DVD-writer Drive..my experiance
w/that was not very good..if your going to purchase Optical Drives I would
recommend a (-+)Combo..Software is next..ROXIO is excellent I have
found..NERO is complicated..but you get DOLBY-Digital(audio)..TDK makes the
best Quality in DVD-blank Media..but I'm beginning to find that quality for
less money..always DEFRAG-your Files..and even perform a Re-Start once in a
while..I sometimes even RUN CHKDSK..before I BURN a Blank disk with a Video
File..you can jump between Software Programs that accept the same File
Extensions..but then you need to recognize where some "noise" might be being
created along the way..avoiding the complications is the best way to enjoy
making Digital Video movies..finding short-cuts takes time..your software
must be registered and Updated to work properly.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your excellent reply.

of a more experienced friend, Billy.

I may have to call on you again for help but thank you for taking the time
and trouble.

Cheers
