Problem Saving on DVD w. Sonic DVD for Photo Story 3

[Guest]

I have Photo Story 3 and purchased Sonic DVD plug-in for Photostory 3. I am
new to this downloading stuff and I think I did something wrong... Somehow,
when I tell Photostory to save the story to a DVD I get a message the the
profile for the specifired activity is missing. Should the Plug-in be
installed within the PhotoStory File folder and separately...Someone, please
help me, A hockey team is awaiting the final souvenir version of their
regular season...

I also have the same problem. Error message "Sonic DVD cannot create the DVD
because an error occurred". Can anyone help? I am a novice to this and am
extremely frustrated.

It's been a while since I installed the plug-in, but as I recall, it
set everything up correctly during the install.

You did install it after downloading, right?

I 99.9% THINK i DID, since it requested the serial # in the registration
step...

Yes, you did.

You might try an uninstall and reinstall--that kind of black magic
seems to straighten things out frequently...

Already did, it does the same thing... I even uninstalled the upgrade Manager
and erase the Reg Edit before reinstalling the whole thing. I kind of think
it was an error to purchase the thing to begin with....

Sorry that didn't work.

FWIW, I've also concluded that purchasing it was a mistake, but for a
different reason. When the plug-in is installed, the only profile
offered for burning a DVD is 720x480 (NTSC), and Photo Story 3 "smooths"
the pictures way too much to satisfy me and my large screen TV.

My solution was to use PS3 to create 1024x768 .wmv files, then use
NeroVision Express 3 to import the .wmv, transcode to MPEG2, and burn
to DVD. The results are excellent--crisp as can be--and I can put
multiple PS3 files on one DVD and design a DVD menu for them.
