Thank you for responding to my question. Yes, the Video Output Setup dialog does open when I choose to save a slideshow. But *before* it opens (i.e. immediately I hit the Save Slideshow button) the application first searches all my hard drives, looking for a burner. Eventually, the dialog will open. This is despite the fact that my default preference for saved files is always set to Computer/Data. Since I have some multi-Terabyte drives on my PC, the search does take some time, and it would be nice if I could get PhotoStage to skip the DVD burner search altogether, unless I were to actually choose DVD as my output option (which I don't).
