So far so good. I have created a 3-part slideshow of our Appalachian Trail
trip. The 13-minute test DVD plays great on the TV and the 3 media files
play in MS Media Player with no problem. I still need to edit the pans and
zooms then add a soundtrack. I'm confident this will turn out great.
THANKS A TON!!!
