I made a couple of slide shows last month in PSE4. Last week I brought one of them into PRE and burned it to DVD. It turned out very well but I can't remember how I brought it into PRE.

Today I first converted the second slide show to WMV in PSE and then brought it into PRE and burned it to DVD. Was this a mistake because it took a few hours for it to be converted before being burned and I don't remember waiting that long on the first slide show ........and the pictures were much clearer then too.

Are you supposed to convert the show to WMV before importing to PRE or does PRE handle that in its preparation for burning to DVD? If not, then how can I bring the slide show into PRE. I clicked on File but the "Send to Premiere Elements" is not highlighted and can't be used And like I said.....I can't remember what I did differently last week but I think the "Send to Premiere Elements" was working and the whole process seemed faster and the quality was definitely better.

Thank for any input you can offer.

I found out a solution to my problem. I just highlighted the slide show in PSE and clicked on File but then clicked on Create and went to making a WMV file that way. When the file was encoded PRE automatically opened and loaded the slide show and then I could edit and burn the DVD very smoothly and quickly.

But I still have no idea why the other method took so long and gave such poor results.
