use your graphic program and save the tiffs as jpg's keep the tiff's until you are sure you have what you want with the jpgs ken

I regularily take my work to my favourite audio video retail outlet to test my shows -- was there again to test my latest vcd show on the 56" rear projection floor model -- they were impressed or were they just humouring the old fart - dont think so it's run time is 28+ mins. -- granted it is not Finding Nemo quality but is impressive non the less ken

Harry 21:34 11/25/03 using p2e 4.2 beta 2 just got done making a 5 part vcd final size on the cd = 261 mb took from 18:34 to 20:39 to encode it and 2 mins to burn the cd with a 32x burner IT 'S RUN TIME IS 29 mins 33 secs+- for details on my other burns see the thread http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...=2&t=1302&st=20 i think the only thing i have neglected was my swap file - i have it on a partition fixed size at 700 mb ken

Max you must leave the p2e process "running" until the vcd is burned do not click the finish button until you are completely done -- the easiest way is to save it into the folder you are creating your show from and direct the vcd creating software to that location you can test the file before im porting it to the vcd softwar by double clicking the avi wmp will play it in its entirety you can create multiple shows by opening other instances of p2e and creating the additional avi's -- i think this is covered in the help file -- and importing them to the vcd software ken

Lisa the picts from pcworld range any where from 30 to 375 kb and must not be larger than 640/480 see PC World's Digital Focus Newsletter-http://www.pcworld.com/howto/locations/0,loc,81,tk,dfx,00.asp and have a look at the archives and you can and save the picts and experiment the puppies were 11 to 58 kb at 720/540 -- the picts are part of a series -- picts are taken real close up with a wide angle lens to accentuate their noses -- sort of a fish eye effect another site to visit is http://www.mplonsky.com/photo/Gallery.htm he has picts of bugs that are sharp at 72 dpi -- i had good success puting some of his shots in a proshow vcd dont know what else i can tell you the puppy file is 14 slides 13 animal slides and an intro slide [the text on intro slide does not convert nice]zipped they are are 452 kb -- small enough to email if you want to play with them email me at pbyk@sympatico.ca ken

do you mean the individual slide names if so my comments from above posting make sure you have good size text and i would suggest not placing it on the slides -- use the object editor and put it there or as others have said many times make a slide up in a graphics program and put your text on the slide and then insert it in the sequence and same is mentioned in other recent threads http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=1321 ken

if your software supports it harry you can burn a vcd but study the forum a bit see my post on http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...E=02&f=2&t=1302 ken

Cindy, did the web page go black when i uploaded last night it went black on completion you might drop Bill a note ken

this was a question asked in this week's digital newsletter. Q&A: How Do I Copyright a Digital Photo? I've noticed that many pictures I see on the Web and elsewhere are copyrighted. What is the process to get a picture copyrighted? Do I have to repeat the process for each and every picture? --Carol Bar, St Louis That's a great question, Carol. Copyright is not well understood. Let's start with the basics: Copyright is the method established by the government to protect the rights of artists, regardless of what form their work takes--text, music, drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, or software. Violation of copyright is punishable by law. And since copyright violation is a tort, the artist can sue for punitive damages as well. In a nutshell, that's why you shouldn't take images from Web sites without the owner's permission. That said, how do you copyright something? Well, any work you create is automatically copyrighted. In other works, there is an implicit copyright on your work, and you don't need to do anything to receive some protection under the law. On the other hand, there are copyrights ... and there are copyrights. While no action is required to copyright something, if you ever expect to challenge someone in court, simply putting a copyright notice on your work before it's published dramatically strengthens your case. To assert your claim, just place a copyright notice somewhere on your image--use your image editor's text tool to add the copyright symbol [©] followed by the year and your name. That ensures someone can't claim that they thought your photo was in the public domain. Finally, the most aggressive copyright action you can take is to register your image with the Copyright Office in Washington, D.C. There is a form to fill out and a small fee to pay (it's currently $30), but this provides you with the highest level of protection available under copyright law. For the vast majority of us, though, that's overkill. For more information on the issue, visit the United States Copyright Office: http://www.loc.gov/copyright ken

Peggy it might be advisable to start a new thread re you reg key and write to Inna Malkova, WnSoft Inc., support@wnsoft.com explaining your situation Jeasco re "Didn't I read somewhere that the registration code is for life? " there was some talk of "grandfathering" existing keyholders if there was an enhanced version developed new people would have to pay more ken

Ron http://irfanview.tuwien.ac.at/ http://www.somewhere-in-time.net/tutorial/irfanview/ ken

Veronica, where is your original registration key and program. your original key will work on your present system. i still have ver 3.4 on my xp system and it still works fine. all you need to do is install the latest version over the original program and install the original reg key. If you are in the USA there is quite a time difference between the USA and tech support in Russia. in some cases the key gets scrambled by the email or anti virus settings on the recipients system. sorry this info doesnt solve your problem ken

welcome Mart it is in the works no eta as yet use the search feature of forum and you will find many entries ken

Bert, a little time saver -- do not trash your original tiff's -- wait until you are happy with your show, then burn them to cd, then make sure you can read them from the cd before you take them off the hard drive ken

Igor better get ready for more orders congrats to all ken

Bart has done some digging re optimum bit rate see http://community.barcin.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34 ken

Pushu where there is a will there is a way yesterday a 14 year old was arrested for making counterfit $20 USA bills on his home computer -- the police said it was one of the best -- and the quality of the paper was perfect match as well ken

I have been searching for an article that stated it was not wise to have exe's or folders on the desktop -- they should just be s/c's to exe's and folders. It has something to do with a system crash - i have a very unstable xp home and this summer during one of its performances i managed to lose track of the folders that had been on my desktop -- not nice trying to remember/recreate all one's little "cheats sheets". since then just s/c's on desktop.
