Can I create more than one albums?
Yes, you can have multiple albums, each with unlimited photos. You need to use the multi-album feature in Photo DVD Maker as follows:
–In the “Organize Photos” window, click the “New Album” button. There will be a pop-up window where you need to input the album name.
–Select photos and add photos to the selected album.
–Repeat above steps to add more slideshows.
How many photos can be added to the slideshows?
Photo DVD Maker uses MPEG encoder. Since the output file is MPEG2 format, the capability depends on the number of photos, interval time between photos and the background music length. The program can calculate the disc space used when photos or background music are added into slideshows. There is no limitation with the photo numbers for each slideshow. The only limitation is the disc space of your DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. Normally, One 4.7G DVD-R disc can holds more than 1,000 photos with background music. Adding Photos
Why there are no transition effects when playing on TV?
Photo DVD Maker professional version supports DVD, SVCD, VCD 2.0 still picture as the output format. Please select SVCD or DVD as the output disc format if you need the transition effects. If you select the Still picture as the output format, there will be no transition effects available. The High Resolution Still Picture format makes photos look great on TV (resolution is as high as 704×576). To support this kind of high quality image format on TV with DVD player, the layout of files on CD is not the same as that of the normal video CD which can be played like a movie on TV or computer. This is the reason why this output format does not support transition effects. Watching on TV
Why my VCD or DVD Player does not recongnize the burned CD or DVD disc?
The reason why some burned CD or DVD discs cannot be played on your DVD/VCD player is due to the “Read” ability of your DVD/VCD player. Please make sure your DVD/VCD player supports VCD 2.0 format, SVCD format. Even so, according to our test, some models of DVD/VCD player (normally, old models) do not support some particular brand names of burned CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW disc (worse for DVD+R/RW disc). If this is your case, please use another brand name of blank CD-R or DVD-R disc with the lowest write speed to have a try.
When I play the burned CD, what should I do if I am required to turn on the “PBC”?
“PBC” means “PlayBack Control”. It’s a function for VCD 2.0 format to support playback of the disc menu. Please do not press any other buttons before you press the “Play” button. Otherwise, the main disc menu cannot be shown up. Sometimes, after you insert the burned disc into the DVD player, you see the blue screen on TV. If this is your case, you need to press the “Play” button before you press any digital button ( 1, 2, 3,..) on your DVD player’s remote control to play the corresponding slide shows.

Why the size of my photos is only the quarter of the screen on TV?
When the photo is only the quarter of the screen on TV, you must be seeing the disc menu. Every disc menu selects the first photo of your photo slideshow you’ve prepared in the first step. When you see the main disc menu, please remember to press the digital button ( 1, 2, 3,..) on your DVD player’s remote control to play the corresponding slide shows.
