Version 4.0.0.33 seems to have a bug...

Postby curvelo » Tue Jul 27, 2010 1:58 am

I am having a problem with the latest released version of PhotoDVD. Perhaps I am a bit clumsy but suffice to say that I have being using this magnificent software for over 2 years now and only the latest version (4.0.0.33) that has a lot of nice new features, a new design and even allows us to insert up to 3 different soundtracks, shows this problem: it distorts the images!

I wonder... Is it just me or someone else is having this sort of problem?

I have made two small slideshows after the birth of my grandson; one using 3.0.8.4 and another using 4.0.0.33. Clearly, the images on version 3 are in perfect and undistorted shape. In version 4 they have being shrunk vertically for some reason. I must clarify that using DVD Format 4:3, full screen this happens. Using 16:9 (Wide Screen) this doesn't happen - perhaps because the picture is shrunk both vertically and horizontally so that the result if a squared picture, is s a small piece in a huge black frame. If it's a retangle, black frames under and above the picture but full in width. Not my preferred format once "Full Screen" is available and works like a charm in version 3!

I have to add also that I have tried the newly released software in three different platforms (Windows XP, Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7) the result, unfortunately, is the same.

If you indulge me, I would like to show you the result I am having, both with Version 3 and Version 4. I've made 1 minute slideshow using each software because otherwise they would become too large to send. Sent it to Rapidshare, once someone told me that would be the easiest server to download. Both versions are compressed inside a 60 Mb .zip file:

Hi curvelo,

Thank you for all your usefull tests.
I downloaded your ZIP file, played both .vob files and I can confirm last PhotoDVD version have an aspect ratio issue.

I fixed this problem and compiled a new PhotoDVD beta version for you.

Please, can you confirm your problem is fixed in this new version :

Now the issue is really rectified. Works fabulously!

I've made two more small slideshows (only 1 minute each), this time in 4:3 AND another in 16:9 - they look both great! All features working properly and the problem with shrinking image is definitely gone!

Thank you so much for your kind attention and fast reply!

Here you may see the results:
