Pro Show Gold--Mini Disaster

[JOLY DESIGNS]

I recently created my second Pro Show Gold video.
It was a memorial video with 94 slides and came out great. It rendered and I copied it to four discs.
Then I moved the photos and file to an external hard drive with more memory.
When I went to open the file/movie again, all the pictures were gone.

I got back one of the original discs and it automatically plays the video. I would like to copy the video to hard drive and then burn several more copies.

I'm not seeing a single file that looks like "the" video but several files in a folder called VIDEO_TS with file names:
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TX.IFO

, etc.

How do I get the video from the disc onto my hard drive and then back onto other discs?

It's a normal dvd, see https://www.videohelp.com/dvd#struct

It's easiest to copy the entire disc. Use for example imgburn, make an iso from the dvd, then burn the iso and you will get a new dvd-video.


And you should ALWAYS keep the original photos because video slideshows are often in much lower quality.

Thanks, Baldrick. Appreciate the info. I think I've got an idea of what to do now.

Unfortunately, the photos dropped out of the file transfer...which Pro Show Gold says can happen when moving or copying them. Weird.

When you moved the Proshow project files and the pictures, and then tried to open the project, did you get a dialog box saying "Some files in the show "show name" are missing. Would you like to search for them?"
