TJ:
does anybody know about codecs and stuff. I don't.

I'm trying to do a dvd for my mum's birthday, a couple of bits of video and some photo slideshows. The slideshows work OK when burned onto DVD but the vids play too fast although the sound plays the normal speed.

Any ideas?

Ooooooh not a clue.
All my brain said then was 'DivX' but I don't know what I mean, or even if I'm right.

I updated my Divx and downloaded a nice shiny new codec pack.

I'm sorry I'm arse-all help.
I'm looking for a new job, having decided everything can piss off for half an hour.

What are you using?

( ClanSoul CHEDDAR DENTATA™!, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 11:14, archived)

I think it's called
Wondershare

I've got no experience with that, sorry :(
Nero is pretty good, I've burned many a dvd with Nero.
And it does slideshows etc.
Other than that, I can't help, sorry :(

I only have an old OEM copy of Nero
which doesn't seem to do what I want unofrtunately.

Ah, shame.

are they both on the same disc or is one a slide show and one a film
i don't know why i ask as i don't really know any answers although i do know a fairly good freeware for converting and burning dvd's
www.dvdflick.net/
also were you doing anything else on your machine while the burn was happening, i've found that can cause problems, i'm told it's something to do with frame drop off or something.

Nothing else running on that machine at the time
All on one disc. Two bits of film and two slideshows.

I'll have a look at DVD flick though, cheers.

it does sound like it's dropping frames though
like you're getting 20 a sec as opposed to the 25 or so that you should be getting. ( numbers may be wrong)
( god save the queen CODIFEST, 26th July, be there or rot in hell !!!, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 11:24, archived)

this is another freeware i've used, seemed to work
imgburn.en.softonic.com/

although i've never tried to combine slides and film.

Go to www.free-codecs.com and download a codec pack for your operating system.
Also try playback in VLC media player as it has it's own OS independent codecs.

i wanted to suggest speeding up the audio so it matches, but that's even less helpful than my help.

i dunno
install the K-lite codec package, it's free and i've had no problems since i started using it.

it also has a version of windows media player classic with it.
