Using Photostory 2016 V 15.0.2.108 (UDP3) I created a slideshow using 62 photos and a backround music track.

In preview it works great. When I burn it to a DVD the show starts there is music, a start screen but it only last for the first 2 photos and stops. I have tried a DVD + and a DVD - I am using Wndows 7with a HP desktop computer that have both a DVD and a Blu ray burner. I used the DVD burner. I tried burning from the Photstory main screen and the slideshow screen, same results. The slideshow File (on the computer ) is only 334MB.

Locate the DVD files (VOB, IFO and BUP file extensions ) created for the project - they will probably be in a folder called Disc images.

Then try and play the VOB file VTS_01_1.vob with VLC to see if this is complete or the video is shortened.

If the video in this file is shortened the same as when you play the DVD and assuming you did not get an error message during the burn, then there may be an issue with the third photo which has caused the render to fail.

Try removing the third photo and burn again *

* Tip - use rewriteable DVD-RW discs for the initial burns when the video is complete and correct then burn to DVD-R. This will save wasting discs and money.
