DAVE GOULD, the author of this thread feels it is no longer relevant and would like to have it removed ASAP OBJECTIONS? KEN

This thread was a mild one - basically everybody loved Maureen's picts -- but the music, some felt did not fit this thread below was the thread to end all threads - and it was all about "peace" lot of people we don't hear from any more or very seldom see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....amp;#entry25053 i watched the show several times this morn on both my monitor and the tv -- still a great compilation ken

Barry a few of us have been using 1920/1080 format for quite some time -- anticipating the use of ws tv as the norm ken

Barry asked "Ken I havn't a clue what you mean about high res hiding sins, please can you explain? How does a low res protect your eyes. Eyes are amuscle like any in the body and when they get tired they tell you when to stop. If you mean to be able to see icons because of poor site, then that is different. However, you can use a 1024*768 screen to produce any size show you want, as you know." with hi res the images on the screen are smaller -- text spreadsheets picts etc therefore flaws in picts etc are not easily seen - and my eyes strain too much to see -- we have this discussion many times when you recommend we change the screen resolution to what you want - as it is your shows generally do not fill my screen because i refuse to change my res to suit you another example letters written on laptops - the text default is small and i can hardly read it comfortably ken

NO I dont run the native resoution - i have to respect my eyes - i run 1024/768 19" SAMSUNG 932B Max Resolution 1280 x 1024 / 75.0 Hz will have to get a bigger monitor to run higher res or use the 37" tv NOT ken

IMHO using the high resolutions can hide many sins ken

JEB http://www.1000islandsinfo.com/ http://www.lake-district.gov.uk/ the first shot at the lake-district web site was of the mountains -- i thought i was in British Columbia Canada ken

it is all in the ears of the listener ) ken

I commented on Maureens piece off list -- my comment was "very peaceful", she replied "that is how i intended it" or words to that effect. now this from a Scottish writer http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/jul/26/s...lans-membership maybe the pipes like the clans are not in fashion anymore the pictures could have been from anywhere but because a few recognize the area they feel that the music is wrong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billabong so Maureen could have been in Australia and took the pictures then the appropriate music should have been along the lines of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waltzing_Matilda ken

if you already paid for it and installed the the deluxe version c/w the registration you will not have to pay again for 2 years just download it and install it ken

I have PM'd him but i guess he is not reading mail ken

MIKE your posts have been moved to the proper section of the forum - -questions re video belong in this area please see section http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....showtopic=10242 re video suggestions for present and future ken

a couple years ago in the early days of p/z i made a show of my daughter's house expansion using picts she put up on a web page and picts i took -- i made an avi the old way, converted to a divx with one of my programs -- i cant remember which proggie -- oldtimers disease -- i did this more to satisfy Hawk because he was experimenting with divx and i had to have something to tell him. I never appreciated the show until i got my ws hd tv cw with the samsung 1080p UP player connected to the tv via the hdmi cable -- prior to this i had been quite satisfied playing it via the svhs out feed of my ati 9600 card to the standard 4:3 crt tv the colour/pictures / etc are right on at 10-12 ft viewing -- when 1ft away there is the expected pixelation the info on the screen when playing the divx file with the dvd player says 1080P and screen is full in "JUST" aspect setting http://www.panasonic.ca/english/audiovideo/lcd/tc37lz85.asp see specs with attached ken

LIN GOT ME INTO USING http://www.kantaris.org/ Kantaris is a new media player based on code from Videolan client (VLC) and Bass audio library. Kantaris has a graphical user interface similar to that of Windows Media Player. Version 0.5.8 works with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7. but IMHO gui is far superior and seems to have more smarts ken

TRY 1920/1080 i believe igor recommended that a while back ken

Peter have tried all combo's of the view tab and aways get the bmp to show but in retrospect , when i originally opened the pte there was nothing showing in the left panel until i directed the pte to the location of Colins file G:\1_P2E HOLDER\DOWNLOADS FROM COTTAGE ETC\1 JULY 09 COTTAGE ETC\Colin Hill and then the bmp showed and i just added it with the add slide command so maybe he was in the wrong location when he opened the pte initially like i was which goes back to what we have tried to stress the importance of having all slides and material for the project in a properly named folder ken

Peter et al the original pte has no mention of the bmp but the revised one that i made does ShowPic=1 Picture=G:\1_P2E HOLDER\DOWNLOADS FROM COTTAGE ETC\1 JULY 09 COTTAGE ETC\Colin Hill\2009-6-16_12-17-48-959.BMP how does his explanation -- Administrator IDs and User IDs have anything to do with the pte not showing the pict? I am not too swift with the contents of pte's and i looked for obvious faults -- no mention of the bmp was obvious as you say KEEP it SIMPLE so IMHO Colin should forget about permissions till he becomes more familiar with the workings of his system ken

opt_expireText=Sorry, but trial period of this presentation has expired LOOKING AT THE pte i see no mention of the bmp that was in zip but the the bmp opens ok on my system but not with the pte so by bringing the bmp in and hitting preview i get your plane ok every time i click preview i get a different fade ken

FURTHER TO STU'S ENTRY if you go to C:\Program Files\WnSoft PicturesToExe you will see all the versions you have installed and for example if you go to C:\Program Files\WnSoft PicturesToExe\5.6 and open the folder and then the exe in that folder, when you are ready to start the video builder , the video builder in that folder C:\Program Files\WnSoft PicturesToExe\5.6 will open i believe that is the way Igor designed it to work ken
