Quote It looks like the default backgrounds are stored in the "themes" folder in the tenFt.zip file stored here:

Thanks, Dave. I found the image I was looking for in AppData.

I can't find anywhere in the program that shows the location of the background image. I used to be able to do this in earlier versions.

For a few months I want to install PD 17 alongside PD 365. Is that possible?

Does any version of PowerDVD have an auto-generated captioning function? I'm referring to videos captured without closed captions.

Thanks. Does that apply if I select the first track or if I choose a track some way down the list? (I'm trying to understand why it doesn't work some of the time.)

So, without Repeat only the current track will play?

Thanks for the reply. When I try the repeat loop, it repeats only the track highlighted in the play list.

The strange thing is that sometimes the tracks are played in sequence, and on other occasions only the selected track plays and I have to start the next track all the way through. What is the default behaviour: single or continuous?

Sorry, I don't know what you're getting at.

I can see a setting for playing videos one after another, which I've set, but not for audio. I didn't have this problem with the previous version.

Above the Media Library is a "Media Content" box with a drop down arrow. Select the drop down arrow and you will see the "Color Boards"

Jeff

Thanks, Jeff.

The color board feature used to be located within an option in the Edit dropdown menu, but it's not there anymore. Anyone able to tell me the new location? Thanks.

I don't know, as I've not had the problem since, but a number of other programs were open, including Google, some of which could use an audio process. Guesswork rather than fact, I'm afraid.

Quote Which one ? Your response may help opthers.

Another program did interfere. The problem is now resolved. Thanks, stevek.

Quote Thanks for the reply. I have a registry cleaner (Ccleaner Pro). I have other programs that could grab the playback device, but they're not activated (though I might have done so unintentionally -- I need to check running processes). I rarely have a need to disable antivirus software.

Quote Are you using a Registry Cleaner either a stand alone or as part of anothe program like an antivirus?

Do you have another program that may grab your playback device?

Edit: By the way, did you have your antivirus off or disabled when you reinstalled the software?

I selected an MP3 track and PowerDVD 16 sprang up and the track began to play, but as soon as I tried to minimise the screen or simply click on the screen, the screen faded with a "Not responding" message. It never did this before.

I reinstalled the software and the first time I used it again it was fine. However, the problem returned when I restarted it with a new track.

Why is this happening?

Quote How is it I've just bought DVD 16 only to see DVD 17 in this forum?

Did you get a discounted price for PowerDVD 16 because it is an older version? If you didn't, you have 30 days to return it and then buy the newer PowerDVD 17. If you did get the discount, is there really anyhting you need in PowerDVD to pay the extra money?

Where did you buy 16 -- from the Cyberlink site?

I bought it from the CyberLink site. I had version 10 of the program, which I hadn't used for a while, and when I opened it, it prompted me to update to V16 at a special price. There was no mention of V17. I discovered that only when I posted the other query.

Thanks for your help.

So you got the bargain upgrade to 16. Did you look to see if that price was available for 17? Contact Cyberlink sales to see what they will do in regards to returing 16 and getting 17 for the same price. I doubt it but you never can tell.

In certain cases, program updates are available based on the initial program. I don;t know but perhaps you could go from 10 to 16 with a discounet but not from 10 to 17 with that same discount.

Again - what is in 17 that you need? Since you haven't used 10 in awhile, perhpaps 16 will be good enough at that price.

Perhaps spending a little more time investigation your purchases would be of benefit. Again, contact Cyberlink Sales to get the definitive answer.

Good luck.

That price wouldn't have been available, as the upgrade price from 16 to 17 is significantly greater. There's nothing in 17 to whet my appetite, so I'll stick with 16 for now. Perhaps when V22 is superseded, I'll get another discounted offer.

Quote I have both products and I'm now wondering if I needed DVD 16.

Power DVD is a video/image PLAYER; PowerDirector is a video EDITOR. What you need is your choice.

Perhaps reading a little about what each does would be a good place to start.

Thanks. That makes sense.
