Yes, that is possible. You need to have the same set of songs on both PCs (it could also be a network drive). I'll post more detailed instructions soon.

I think you need some DirectShow codecs for this video type. This is the piece of software that decompresses a video so that it can be watched on the screen. When you click on that video in the schedule with your right mouse button, and select properties from the popup menu, SongBeamer will open the...

SongBeamer cannot join multiple video clips. You need to use a video editing program for that.

You can select multiple files at once if you hold down shift or ctrl in the open files dialog while clicking on the filenames. This already works for *.ppt and some *.xml formats. I've improved version 4.23e so that multi select works for *.txt files, too: http://www.songbeamer.com/bin/SongBeamer_Up...

You can enter a time value (hours:minutes), then SongBeamer will calculate how long each slide (starting from the currently visible slide) must be shown so that the slideshow will end in exactly that time. For example if you have 4 slides left and you enter 04:00, then each slide will be shown for 6...

You could write the verse order "V1, C, V2, C, C, B, B, B, C, C" into the comments section in the Copyrights tab. Then you will see it when you open the song.

Uninstalling or reinstalling SongBeamer will most likely not fix this. MagCore.dll probably belongs to a video codec that is installed on your PC, but that file cannot be found. When searching the web for that file it seems that the file is from a company called ArcSoft. You could try re-installing ...

The SongReport only exports to an Excel *.xls file. If you want to export all songs to a *.csv file, then you will have too add all songs to the schedule, then use the Export to csv function from inside SongBeamer.

We request the video thumbnails from the Windows Shell (Windows Explorer uses this one, too). After that we use our own database for the thumbnails.

Currently we do not split a verse in the middle. This is not easy to implement, but would probably be possible. Another problem is finding the right position for splitting for all languages. Do you have this problem very often, or is it just a few verses?

There is no automated way for this. The latest version of the SongReport always saves to UTF-8. So maybe you can upgrade and save those songs again?

I guess you are trying to open an existing slideshow. You need to create a new slideshow and then add the fotos. Depending on your version of SongBeamer, use File -> New Slide show or Insert -> Slide show (not Slideshow from file).
