Hi Al. While some are having problems, so far it's working quite well for me. No problems using the program. The only thing I've noticed so far is some very minor stuttering here and there on pc executables. I don't have a DVD burner yet, so I can't test that feature. Picture and sound quality on pc executables is terrific. VCD's played back on tv is pretty bad, but I believe that's the case with any of the slide show programs. SVCD is supposed to be better, but I've read that it can be a fussy format (my player doesn't play SVCD's so I can't test those either). I'd say try it and see how it works for you.I am interested in buying PSG 2 but from what I read on this forum
it isn't very good. Some think it is still in BETA although it is
selling for $70.00. So I would really like to get a final answer
if it is worth the money or not.
Thanks
Al

What I REALLY want to be able to do, is to specify that my output
format is WIDESCREEN (i.e. 16:9) and have the program adjust the
output accordingly, giving me maximum resolution and quality. If
that is do-able with PSG2, it would be reason enough to buy the
product. I also like the idea of having a product created here in
the States, if only for support reasons.
Nevertheless, I keep reading about all of the crashing and freezing
with PSG2, and the majority of the raves are about how many more
features it provides. Features are all well and good, EXCEPT if
the product becomes too hard to use because there are too many
features to deal with, or the product is just too unstable. In
that case, I'll take the "simpler" program every time.
Having said that, I can comfortably state that I'm not a
techno-novice. I like hi-tech more than most, and I have been a
professional programmer since 1973. The industry I'm in is
considered pretty high tech as well. That does NOT mean that I
want to deal with program crashes or spending weeks learning the
ins and outs of a program in order to produce a simple, elegant
slide show. Quite the contrary. I have much better things to do
with my time.
So, I'd love for someone to tell me why I'd be better off with
PSG2, or to confirm my suspicions that, at least at this time, the
extra money would not buy me anything that I'd need over Memories
on TV.
Again, what I really NEED is to be able to produce slide shows
targeted to 16:9 HDTVs. Does PSG2 have this capability? I could
not determine this from the web site.

It absolutely hasn't worked for me as a DVD creator. Every new build gets worse on my system. 1526 now crashes the the desktop when starting the DVD burn. At least it doesn't make a coaster before crashing now...I am interested in buying PSG 2 but from what I read on this forum

.Hey Albert,
I am a beta tester for PSG 2 so I am a little biased. What I can
...I started doing video editing for my local cable access station last year. I used a fairly good PC and bought cheap software to do the work. As I progressed and fought off all sorts of problems, the cost of my software kept growing. Finally, I had a fairly high-end video editing, DVD creation, and sound editing package from Adoble.It absolutely hasn't worked for me as a DVD creator. Every new
build gets worse on my system. 1526 now crashes the the desktop
when starting the DVD burn. At least it doesn't make a coaster
before crashing now...

Guess what.
I still couldn't safely burn DVD's.
However, I did eventually find one program that worked and it
became the ONLY program I use for burning DVD's.
With PSG2, I tried making a DVD and it didn't work. Based on my
video experiences, that didn't suprise me. Nor was I disappointed.
So, I made an MPG file instead, used my "good" DVD burning program,
and I safely made DVD's of my slide shows.
I'm guessing that the Photodex folks are doing the best they can
with DVD's. Cut them some slack. If you look at video editing
website and user fora, you'll find a lot of DVD problems at all
levels of software quality. Many of the DVD programs cost three
times as much as PSG and the ONLY thing the do is burn DVD's.
DVD stuff is tough.

So, not only would I get the multiple pan/zoom stages within a single slide, but it looks like they will have this capability son. Granted it could be marketing-speak, but it's encouraging.Hey Ed,
Thank you for your query.
We've just finished implementing the 16:9 feature, actually. It's not
available in the current release, but will be in the next free update
(version 2.2).
Currently, we're waiting to finish up some other features before releasing
version 2.2. We'll keep you posted.
Regards,
