    What OS are you using? 

    You must use the Export option to save the slideshow as an MP4 file.  You can then burn the file to DVD if all you want to do is play the mp4 on a computer.  If you want to play the DVD on a TV via a DVD player, you need to use DVD authoring software.  Here are instructions for a free option.

     

    When you use the Save option in the Organizer, it only creates a file that can be opened, edited and saved/exported again in the Organizer.  The file is located in a catalog folder location and is not intended to be used outside of Elements.

    I moved your post over from the poorly named "Using the Community" forum, which is for getting help using this forum system, to a better forum.


    I hope this helps. Best of luck to you.
