Picture Show 3

Has anyone tried this newest product? Has Ulead finally corrected the music being in sync with the slideshows? Why can't Ulead have one product that provides both Video and slideshow capabilities? Does this newest version do that? Thanks for the info. I tried downloading the trial version and I get a message that my trial period has expired, even though I haven't tried it yet. Ulead seems to have soo many bugs with their products.

Surely the answer to some of your questions are in the topics below-Version 3

saw it after I posted my questions, after reading the above I have decided to check into ProGold Pro. Looks like a pretty good product.

I have been using Ulead Products for many years, but after the last few months and many problems with there software I figure its time for a change.

I downloaded a trial version but everytime i try to run it i get a microsoft error message saying theres some fault with dvdps.exe so i cant even try it. Just glad i tried it as this is basically the same as the disney version except without the themes and i was just going to buy that.

Anyone know if the disney version is just as bad as i dont wanna risk it not when i cannot get this one even running lol

Applied the latest v3.0.1.8 5in1 patch for DVDPS3??

Any audio/video CODEC packs installed in your system?? Use AVICodec to find out.

Hope this helps.

I have the Ulead CD & DVD Picture Show 3.0.1.8 and am running Windows XP Service Pack 1. I have never been able to get it to work and am hoping someone will have a solution for me.

I opened the program and clicked on NEW PHOTO SLIDESHOW. I added 2 pictures. That's as far as I go. If I ctrl-alt-delete and bring up the task manager it says the program isn't responding.

Any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks,

Elizabeth

I think you need to check what CODEC is installed in your system.

And you can contact Ulead Tech Support for helps also.

Hope this helps.

I've read the posts on this forum, many very old (in order of months).

The PictureShow 3 product performance problems are so severe that it is essentially an unuseable product. It should not have been released. There has not been an adequate response to existing reported problems since January 2005 and earlier.

If anyone, as I did, has purchased the product and found NO solutions to the rendering issues (thumbnail pages that take hours to update and over 24 hours to create a large DVD) then I am afraid your (and my) money is lost.

Caveat emptor as they say. The product is poorly written and not supported. We have been ripped off.

I have purchased and installed a very similar product (found from a link on this site) and have found the performance far better and the product superior. Also it is supported by the vendor. No, I won't name the product since you should research it and I won't compromise this comment with a promotion.

Good luck. ULEAD is junk, garbage, a crying shame!

Shove the Codecs already. This is like the old helpdesk person who knew nothing about computers and his only solution to a problem was to tell the user to reboot.

This product should never of been released.

I purchased ProShow Gold way back - I experience the occasional glitch with that as well but overall rate it very highly and regard it a good investment.

I also have the earlier DVD PictureShow 2 which was not a bad basic product and can remember coming across that audio synch problem and spent a little time investigating but can't remember where I got to - I don't use it that much anymore.

Seem to re-call that it was worse when I used VBR encoded .mp3 tracks. If I used CBR encoded tracks then it was a lot better but can't remember if it solved the problem altogether.

You might want to give that a try and see if it helps before ditching your investment altogether.
