Background music problem

Post by SPJ29 »

I have a dvd with movies and pictures. The pictures each have a music track playing in full.

This is where I have the problem. WS2 only seems to allow tracks 4 minutes long and no longer is it possible to have WS2 play a track of say 5 or 6 minutes because most classical music tracks last about this time.

Are you talking about a limit for a menu, or for a slideshow? Would a slideshow work?

Could it be you have a hard disk formatted in FAT32? If so, convert it to NTFS.

The problem is when I select a video/photo in the storyboard and then click on the audio tab and click "MATCH AUDIO DURATION".

The video clip can be 6 mins long and the actual audio clip can be 6 mins long but DWS2 only plays 4mins 04secs.

I have some classic music pieces that last over 25 minutes - take for example Francesca De Rimini by Tchaikovsky.
You would be better off preparing your video in an editor beforehand such as VideoStudio / MediaStudio.
