[d.enz]

Hi Guys,
I have spend many time to make a nice slideshow from my vacation. I am a german guy and I don´t can´t find a answer to my problem. My slideshow have 620 pictures. If i want to export the slideshow in any format i get these messages.








To the last message: It is impossible, i have 80gb free space!
My system: Win Xp Pro SP3, Intel Pentium 4 3,4Ghz, 2Gb Ram, 250Gb HDD
I hope my english is not so bad and somebody can help me.

Thank You

Post your AVS file

Is your hard drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit.

Make sure that you got enough free harddiskspace on the drive, where you installed DVD slideshow GUI(typically C: ) and also the drive you're exporting to. When exporting a lot of temp flies are generated like a 2 MB downscaled image each for each slide... Check those drives freespace when exporting to see if it's actully out of space.

If you need hhd space then check for and delete "..._temp" folders in the DVD slideshow GUI main folder. Normally they should be cleaned out automatically after succesful exports.

If you think you got enough free hhd space export your slideshow as ".avs" and drag and drop that file onto mplayerc.exe in the main DVD slideshow GUI folder and see if it comes up with an error message. Post what is says here.

When rendering 620 slides a lot of RAM is needed - since the entire video is loaded into the RAM before rendering. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to follow the usage of RAM when rendering. Add more virtual RAM if needed. (animated slides eat up more memory - so avoid those)

I never rendered a slideshow with that many slides myself. Alternatively you can render your slideshow into smaller parts(avi) and join them in a new slideshow project consisting of the avis rendered with a safearea x,y=0.

Morning together,
Baldrick I don´t understand what you mean with use a better subject? Sorry my english is only a bad school english.
I have enough free hdd space on the hdd where dvd slideshow gui is installed and on the disk i wont export to for sure. The RAM ist between 60 and 70 percent. I think thats ok too. If i put the avs file in de mplayerc it don´t start, but i have no error message. I post my avs file and hope somebody have a good idea.

Is your HDD formatted as FAT32 or NTFS (as asked previously, but not yet answered)

620 Bilder?
If you are outputting that as an uncompressed avi file...at
full size(720x576)....that is going to be VERY large....yes?

If i put the avs file in de mplayerc it don´t start, but i have no error message.

When exporting '.avs' it wll first prepare the slideshow by saving all the scaled temp images - this should give you no problems if you have enough hhd space. You could check if a "..._temp" folder is created with 620+ ebmp files. Then drag the avs file into mplayerc.exe and waith until it says something or show you the slideshow, while doing this keep an eye on the RAM. 620 slides will take a long time to load. Dunno maybe more than 20 min?

If this works okay then grab the gui version of HCenc and load the .avs file into that, to play around with the settings manually and render it.

Btw. does it export okay if you have like 10 slides in the slideshow?
