This should be released in the category: "Things we always wanted to have inside Ventuz - and which already exist  - but nobody told us:" As we don’t have this category (yet ) it probably belongs to "needfull things."

It’s not always possible to estimate the exact performance of a scene inside the Ventuz Designer. Inside the Presenter it would work, but the framerate is not displayed there.

Wrong! As I learned yesterday: As a matter of fact there is the possibility to show the framerate/performance in the Presenter.

But it only works on the command level:

Open the cmd shell then change to the Ventuz directory and enter: VentuzPresenter.exe Name.vpr -stats or simply create a *.bat text document, which could look like this:

cd C:\Programme\"Ventuz Technology Group"\"Ventuz 2006 Professional Edition"\

VentuzPresenter.exe c:\temp\name.vpr -stats

Then save as Start.bat on the desktop and that’s it.

Besides the "- stats" function there is another useful option inside the Presenter "-noesc". It blocks the Esc-key. Therefore a Ventuz presentation can not be stopped with Esc accidentally. To stop a presentation you now have to change into window-mode(Alt+Enter) and close the program. If this window function was disabled while exporting the presentation, the only way left is to use the task-manager…

Thanks to Karol from the Ventuz dev crew.
