What is a PDM file?

A PDM file is a project created by Anvsoft Photo DVD Maker, a Windows program used to create photo slideshows and burn them to DVDs. It contains information about a slideshow project, including edits, the theme, and paths to images in the slideshow. PDM files also store metadata, such as the name of the project and names of albums in the project.

More Information

To open a PDM file in Photo DVD Maker, select File → Open. To create a PDM file in Photo DVD Maker, select File → Save or Save As....

The PDM file allows you to save edits you make to the project when you close the program, then re-open the project for further editing. After making final edits to the PDM project, you may burn it to a DVD, export it to a Flash or MPEG video file, or upload it to the Internet.

NOTE: Since PDM files store the locations of images and audio loaded into the project, do not move the media files after loading them or you will have to load the media again.
