Hi I have been trying to add more than one slideshow to disk but it is too large how do I separate to make it smaller without loosing image quality.

i am using photostory deluxe on windows pro system
Hi
What would the total run time of the 2 slideshows be, and are you creating a DVD or Blu-Ray disc?

Hi when going over to burn , it stated disc full and it was approx 4474 if memory serves me correctly, so don’t know how much larger it would be unless there is a way to tell how long each slideshow is, I have tried to separate them with s/show manager, but then it comes up with encoding error, and won’t burn to DVD, I am hoping that I haven’t corrupted my slideshow so I have to start over.

Hi
The length of the slideshow is displayed in Photostory Preview window - position the cursor at the end of the projects Storyboard or Timeline view, by pressing the End key on your keyboard, and note the times - in the example below, this project is 1 min 54 secs and 20 frames - you can ignore frames value.
. . . . when going over to burn , it stated disc full and it was approx 4474 if memory serves me correctly, . . . .
That would suggest the project is more than 2 hrs long, if it is less than approx 4 hrs long you could try using Dual Layer discs - DVD+R DL, disks if your disc burner supports them.

Thanks John will try this Leila
Hi I have removed slideshows from my project to allow it to fit on dvd disc, but am receiving message, encoding error while writing project file, notepad saying on several of the errors, no import module for image file and gives related image numbers, what can I do to resolve this ?
Hi
Is there anything different about the images that are listed in the crash data - the error message would suggest they are a different format ?
John EB
Hi I wrote down just one of the errors and can’t find it on notepad again, but it’s img 00 18.mov. I think it’s from my camera, could be iPad.

Hi
. . . . img 00 18.mov . . . .
A file with the extension .mov is a video file - download and install MediaInfo and use this to analyse the file. Post the results from the Text view in MediaInfo - you can copy and paste directly into your reply.

Some sample pages from the log.

Hi
Unfortunately the images you posted are not what I asked for - please read my last post again and provide the information asked for.
Thanks
John EB
Downloaded medial info, selected text, highlighted it copied it but can’t get it attached to post.
leila
Don't try to attach the text, simply copy it and then paste it into the Comment box where you write your replies.

Sorry, but that is not what we need!
Please open MediaInfo and choose the .mov file as the file to be analysed, not your PS project file. Then, go to Options>Text View in the MediaInfo menu and copy ALL the data there and paste it into your next reply.

fingers crossed
No need to cross your fingers, that data is what we need to see, thank you.
I'm sure @johnebaker will see your post and make rather more detailed comments but my immediate thoughts are:
Jeff
Hi
Thanks for the MediaInfo information, as @emmrecs has commented that is exactly what we needed.
The initial problem that Jeff has commented on ie Quicktime - it should not be necessary to install this as the video is encoded in the standard AVC codec and the audio in the standard AAC codec.
Photostory Deluxe, assuming it is the latest version ie 20.0.1.62 - see under Help, About - should be able to use this with no issue.
Looking back at your previous posts the error messages in the log file are referring to images, I think we have may have been side tracked by the mention of MOV files.
Can you use MediaInfo to analyse one of the images that are in the folders mentioned in the log file and post the results.
