John,

Thanks a million for the GSpot awareness. That’s a great tool.

Thanks, Mike. Looks like I have a lot to learn about audio.

Obviously I need to learn more about audio.

Thanks for the responses.

Found my problem, so thought I’d share.

In DVD architect, under project properties, there is an audio default setting. in my DA 5.0 it was set to PCM, in the new 5.2 it was set to AC-3. Changing to PCM made all the difference.

Apparently AC-3 is a compressed format resulting is a less pleasing sound quality (I’m not an audiophile), whereas PCM is uncompressed and much clearer and louder. I’m fine for now.

Mario, here’s how I do what I think you want…

First I put the background (in this case your tree)on the bottom track;
Then I put each picture on a track above the background, pan/crop to get the part of the picture I want, then on that picture’s track, I use the track motion button to size the picture and move it to where it should be positioned on the background. Can also add borders and shadows for extra effects;
Do this for all the pictures on seperate tracks above the background and positioned where you want them on the background.
When done, I have all my pictures on the background and I save it as a .veg file.
In my main project, I bring in this .veg picture file and simply use pan/crop to move across the background with the pictures on it. All the pictures are in position and it works well.

Good luck.

Tom
