"Invalid file" error playing PSE Slide show with audio through TV via DVD...

I have just made a slide show with audio and burned it to CD using photoshop elements....it will play on my laptop but when I try to play it through the TV via a DVD it tells me that the file is invalid.

VCD is an old format that is largely deprecated these days. Fewer and fewer devices understand it. If you have a burner, try outputting your slideshow as a wmv file and using whatever else you have to burn it to a dvd. Even windows movie maker or something like that.

A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit. When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays. It appears in the edit, but no audio is played. This happens consistently. What setting might be wrong?

That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
Thanks.

How do i share a slide show with friends through email?

Please help me to share a slide show with friends. Don't know how to do this. I was able to make the slide show, but now want to send through email and don't know how to do this. I've export the file, but can't seem to get it onto email.

Most likely you don't share via email.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing as the files are too large.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. You need to export the slideshow to the desktop - and that will make a video of it.
Assuming it's not too big, which would be rare, attach that to the email from the desktop.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they downoad the material to their machines to view.

Wanting to Use My MBP and HD Plasma TV to Show some Slide Shows With Audio

Hello-
I am tired from going around to Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc. and explaining what I want to help a friend do and coming home but not having what I was sold work.
What I am trying to do is connect my MBP to the HD TV and not only have the visuals of a photo presentation or a music "slide show" and other projects come through the TV ut also have the audio come through the TV. The cables that I purchased have worked in seeing what is on my MBP on the TV but I can't get what I need to also have the audio come through the TV.
If anybody has any idea what I need to do this, I would appreciate any help. I put together, for my friend to use at his mother's funeral, using Keynote a picture slide show with music of her life. I want to bring the HD plasma TV to the mortuary and use my remote with my MBP to help my friend give a talk while the music is playing on the TV and he can use the remote to advance the pictures forward (and have the sound come through the TV). it seems the problem has been getting the sound from the MBP to come through and out the TV.

I don't know what MB Pro you have... 2008 early/late, 2009, mid 2010, etc. ???
Also, what Audio inputs are available for your HDTV?
Not knowing these things for sure, here are your options:
1. If the HDTV has "Optical Audio" input then you can use this cable to get audio (regardless of what model MBP you have) This kind of audio input is often referred to as Toslink.
I resolved the problem on my machine unexpectedly
2. If the HDTV only has RCA stereo inputs then you need this cable (again regardless of MBP model)
http://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-3-5mm-Stereo-Male-Cable/dp/B000V0G2C4/ref=sr12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292163583&sr=1-2
If you do have Toslink available on the TV, that is the better choice. Also a perk with Toslink is it even provides 5.1 surround sound capability which is available from your MBP.
As for your Macbook Pro, only the current 2010 models provide audio and video via the mini display port. So, if you your MBP is new, you could use this adapter, mini display to HDMI, then run a standard HDMI cable to your TV.
http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Female-Adapter-Macbook-Laptop/dp/B002HU629E/re f=sr11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292163818&sr=1-1
Earlier MBP that have Minidisplay port only provide video out so you'd still need #1 or #2 above to deliver audio.
If your MBP has DVI port for video, that as well only provides a video signal so #1 or #2 above would apply.
This should cover all of the possibilities.

Need to play Power Point Presentation with Audio in Keynote

My wife and I have lots of Power Point slide shows with audio from the days when we were windows users. We have downloaded a trial version of iWork 09 and would like to know how we can play these .pps files that contain audio in Keynote.
We appreciate any help that anyone could provide as we would much prefer to use Keynote/iWork than MS Office.

That's interesting about NeoOffice. I keep a copy of it up to date but don't use it too often.
This may be too involved for the OP but I would play the file in NeoOffice and record the audio with WIreTap or similar, export it as an MP3 file and then import it into Keynote.
WIreTap can have its input source set to Mac Audio so that it will record from any application that is capable of producing sound.

I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission." What's this mean?

I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission." What does this mean? All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open. Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

I just created a slide show with iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Air. How do I save this to a DVD on my external drive so that it will play on a DVD player?

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

I just installed iPhone 11 and when I try to play a slide show, it just blinks and and shows the whole group of pictures at once. I have done many slideshows with older versions of iPhoto. How can I fix this?

I just installed iPhoto from the iLife 11 and when I try to play a slide show, it just blinks and shows a whole bunch of pictures at once. I have done many slide shows with no problem in an earlier version of iPhoto. What can I do to fix this?

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

Have you ever successfully saved anything to that external drive? My first two thoughts are that the drive isn't formatted for the Mac or that you don't have rights to save to the drive.

Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded from my camera. I would like to burn these to a blank DVD, but there appears to be no utility for export to a DVD for slide shows. Help. I want to distribute DVD copies to classmates

Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded to iphoto from my camera. I would like to burn the slide show to DVD, but can't make this happen. How do I go about doing this?

If the DVD is to play on a DVD Player, then Share -> Send to iDVD as iDVD is the only app that creates the correct file structure and format for this purpose.
If the DVD is just to hold the file, then Export to the desktop and burn with the Finder.

How can I send a slide show with email?

I am trying to send an album but want the receiver to get them as a slide show. does someone knows how?

Note that any kind of file containing a slide show with multiple photos is going to be quite large, most likely, and thus is not really appropriate for e-mail. Many servers won't accept attachments beyond a certain size, many people operate with strict mailbox size limits, and so your message may never arrive at its destination. I'd encourage you to do something else. For example, I think you can create a movie file - possibly using iMovie, I'm not sure though. Do that and upload it to YouTube, then send people an e-mail invitation to view it. If desired, YouTube allows you to set it to be viewable only to those who are invited and not to the general public.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs. In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show. Is there any way to fix this? This is something I

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

When playing a slide show there are many nonvisible photos. They appear as "image cannot be edited. The original is offline." Where is it and how can I get it back into my photo library?

How can I get all my images to show in my photo library? When playing a slide show some of my photos have a message "Image Cannot Be Edited. The original is offline."

What version of iPhoto?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

HD computer-based slide show with music

I've been asked to do a 1024x768 slide looped slide show with background music. I know using Encore slide show to make a DVD will not supply the HD requirement. If I can play the show on a PC, I can output to a digital projector at that resolution and to an audio amplifier and speakers. Many programs will do PC slide shows for 1024x768 images, but I haven't found any that will sync to wav or MP3 audio and loop the package. Does anyone have a recommendation within or outside Adobe software?

Premiere Pro might do what you need here.
It will certainly handle the HD part, but you're gonna need a serious system to set this up.
Premiere's HD editing will go to the following resolutions:
1440x1080 @ 16:9
960x720 @ 16:9
After Effects will do 1280x1080 @ 16:9
1024x768 is not an HD spec resolution.
It might be supported under WMV though.
