It's an update for XP's built-in CD/DVD-burning capability.

I don't know if InAlbum uses XP's functionality or provides it's own, however.

I use windows xp

Paul, are you using Windows XP or Vista?

Thanks for the site barry i will try them
regards paul

Hello,
I would suggest you try the very knowledgeable and helpful folks over at the After Dawn forums, http://www.afterdawn.com/ ,about burning these files to DVD. If it can be done, they will steer you in the right direction. They have been very helpful to me in the past,and "knock on wood", I have not thrown a disk away in a long time.
They may want a lot of details on your system, the software and hardware you are using, even the brand of media you are using to burn on.
Good luck,
Barry

no i tried to make a normal dvd but when it did'nt work i made an interactive dvd that seems to be the only disc i can make on this program that was why i was hoping to find a way of converting the interactive disc
regards paul

I can watch them from both but when i try to burn a normal dvd to put on player it encodes the show to 80% then the thing freezes plus the computer and i have to restart my computer the program is fine with everything else but making a normal dvd
regards paul

I'm blind as a bat in sunlight, apparently :>

Anyway - if there was a codec missing, it seems to be it would fail entirely, or something along those lines. Paul, you say you can watch your shows on your computer - do you mean from the DVD, or from the original files with InAlbum?

http://www.inalbum.com/help30/makingadvd.htm - Is that the option you are using to try to make a normal DVD? - with an interactive menu if you want.

I'm wondering if it's a missing codec somewhere.

tried dvd decrypter but player did'nt recognize the disc

http://www.inalbum.com/help30/makinganinteractivedvd.htm - looks like there's no way back, it can even be made expiring.

I don't know. What do you mean exactly when you say they're giving you the run-around? Did you check the help file to see if you did everything that was required before burning to DVD?
I wasn't able to find many reviews, and none mention any difficulty with the DVD burning procedure.
Sadly, I haven't found any information on the EAM filetype save that it might be some kind of audio file.

the program was InAlbum deluxe 3 but it wont burn a normal dvd inalbum support are looking at it but they just seem to be giving me the run around i just want to be able to put it on a normal dvd

You could always rip the DvD with DVDFab then reburn it with DVD Shrink v3.2.0.15.

It would be much easier to answer this if you could find out the name (and if possible, a website) of the software that was used to create the dvd.

i have a dvd disc that has some photos of my grandkids with animation and music but it only plays on my computer it says it is an eam file the program i used said it is an interactive dvd for computer is there any way of converting it to a normal dvd any help would be appreciated
