PTE Latest Version
PicturesToExe Deluxe 5.0
Easy-to-use slide show software
PicturesToExe Deluxe has a simple and intuitive interface that makes creating a slide show very easy.
All you need to do is choose your images and add some music if you wish.
The Slide show produces sharp, clear pictures and the smoothest playback of Pan/Zoom effects you have ever seen!
You can place objects (images or text labels with drop shadow) on a slide and customize complex animations.
Moreover, you can use a variety of cinematographic transition effects between slides, add background music and add sound and text comments to each slide.
You can also precisely synchronize slides to music.
VideoBuilder in PicturesToExe Deluxe allows you to quickly and easily burn DVD-Video discs from your slide shows. You can adjust DVD menus and customize many parameters of your DVD disc. You may also create AVI video files. If desired, you can protect your slide show with a password and also assign an expiration date. No additional programs (including icturesToExe itself) are needed to run the resulting slide show because the program produces a stand-alone EXE file.
The slide show will work under Windows XP, Vista, 95, 98, ME, 2000 or 2003.
A DVD-Video disc created in PicturesToExe Deluxe can be played on any DVD player, on a PC or Mac, or on your DVD player attached to a television.

New Audacity Beta Update: Nov 1st 2006
(free sound editing on the web)
The Audacity developers have been busy with many new features over the past year. We're pleased to announce Audacity 1.3.2 (beta), which contains dozens of new features and capabilities. Because it is a work in progress and does not yet come with complete documentation or translations into foreign languages, it is recommended for more advanced users. For all users, Audacity 1.2.5 is a minor bug-fix update that addresses some problems with Audacity 1.2.4, but does not add any significant new features. It is complete and fully documented. You can have both Audacity 1.2.5 and 1.3.2 installed simultaneously. Also, we have just made available a set of 92 LADSPA plug-ins for Windows (for both Audacity 1.2.x and 1.3.x).
