Are you burning them to CD as MP3 or as Audio CD Files? The problem is that it's protected content. You STILL can burn regular audio CDs. First go to the "Preferences" menu and select "Burning". Make sure that "Audio CD" is selected and insert a blank CD into iTunes. (You might want to put a few other songs onto the CD at the same time) The maximum you can do is 80 minutes... When you put the CD back IN your computer, you can import them as MP3 (Make sure you choose mp3 edit > preferences > Importing...) with iTunes or Any other Program that Rips CDs. (*While here, you might want to reduce the quality if it's just used for p2e) There are of course other ways to remove the DRM (Digital Rights Management) but this way is legal.

The Best way is to right click the song, and click "Convert to MP3" If this doesn't show up (if AAC shows up) goto edit > preferences > Importing, and change the Import Settings to MP3. I'm not completely sure this will work with protected (ie. legally downloaded) music as AppleStore isn't available in Canada yet, so I haven't DL'd anything. However, one FAIL safe way to do this, is to burn the songs you want to use to DISC as a standard CD audio file, and then import them to an MP3 format... thus disabling the DRM (Digital Rights Management)

lol. thanks. It was done in Jasc PSP. I decided to self-teach myself to use the program a couple of months before the wedding, so I perhaps went a bit crazy on the filters... like a kid with a new toy... i wanted to try EVERYTHING.

Hi all, I just uploaded my first presentation... it's big... I want to shrink the size... the music for it is 11MB... but I haven't had the time to figure out the best way to do it. Let me know what you think. It was shown at my brother's wedding.

Fantastic job of filters and fades. However, that last image, where it has been turned into two-tone stippled effect, i would've liked to have glimpsed a bit of that image before it diappeared...

question: how to i shrink my presentation to a smaller size! Is there a FAQ on this?

pm me and i'll host the image for you.

got it to work!!! it switches to the desktop for a second though... which if possible i would like to avoid... anyway to avoid this? thanks so much for the help.... i'lll be showing this in front of hundreds at my bro's weding this saturday... it's my first time doing it... and with all the photoshop work (paintshop pro) it took a good 40 hours of my life away.... at least... great utlilities granot... i'm also using the CDMenu thing and autorunning it... bought a few mini 8cm CD-Rs too.... easy to distribute, hold 200MB, plenty for the show and they have more "keeping" value... due to them being more rare.

hmmm.... doesn't work... i have my show set to stay on the last slide after completion... do i need to close the show before the credits... like do i have to use that checkbox?

how do you run the swf after the exe file finishes? I can only figure out how p2e can run exe files... what am i missing?

What program do you all use to reduce the jpg quality? What quality would you recommend? Although i think my show is mostly large because of the music... any recommended music settings anyone? -00A

Still have the problem... I don't know how to play the flash movie after the exe runs... i want to run credits.

I'd like a volunteer to help me figure out how to roll flash credits at the END of the show... Flashme3 is GREAT, though!!! i got it (finally) to work at the beginning.

excellent suggestion, I got a hold of the song and I'm going to use it... excellent suggestion... I haven't checked out companion yet, though... I will check that out soon! The only thing I'm fiddling out with now is how to get a credits in there at the end, that I made in swish... how do you run flash "After" the show? I figured out the before part.

I would like to thank everyone who posted and also many others whose posts I have read! I am nearing completion of my project... after many many many long hours... learning paintshop pro. I dl'd the trial of photoshop CS too... but I had gotten used to PSP... so am sticking with it for now... In case anyone is wondering, I'm using a few songs... one is Beautiful Boy by John Lennon for my borther's growing up years, and I LOVE the song "Memories are made of this" by Dean Martin..." perfect for the dating/engagement pictures, and I'm just trying to figure out a good song for her growing up years, and his teenage years... THANKS to Igor and the Photoshop tutorials, I was able to understand the basics of image editing and the almost final results already brought tears to the eyes of a co-worker. I have a new love for paintshop, layers, blending, overlays, lumination, and masking... i never knew image editing was so easy, albeit time-consuming. Another song I am considering was "As Time Goes by" and maybe "My Girl" or "I won't grow up" for her... Thanks again for all the suggestions, the results are stunning! although I can't believe I've spend so many tens of hours on what ends up being a 10-15 minute presentation. Thanks again! .atomiton.
