Igor i am dsl - hi speed when i try to down load it it gives me an error -- says it is not there yet i just downloade 2 . 5 mb each files from UK with no problem when i downloaded from http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=3&t=3522 i downloaded at 1800 when i download from the cottage it is 180 ken

not there Igor and your host site -- this one -- is very unpredictable today -- it is either not there or slower than molasses in January other sites are ok problem could be Katrina ken

Isabel think you are going to have to supply more information for anybody to give you more help file sizes compression bit rate of both tunes are just a few things that you are going to have to supply in the interim see http://www.codeproject.com/audio/dshowencoder.asp you will see what we take for granted is really not that simple - there is a whole lot of things going in the background:) ken

did you try copying all the pictures from the cd to a folder on your hard drive -- then try starting the program fresh direct it to the "new" folder then file/new and select all the picts and add all and then do a save as create as under a new name then shut it all down then start p2e again and try to open "new name" ken

Mysty well that is normal -- everybody that is going to access your site does not own a copy of Pict to Exe -- tho' Igor would like them to what you need to do is load you completed exe's to your web site how you do it i dont know but when i accessed your page, you have urls leading to faq's and help for the angelfire site - try them and i posted links http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=3540 Mysty see this thread http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=2913 ken to other threads that should give you a hint ken

Mysty see this thread http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=2913 ken

Val welcome to the forum well now why dont you just burn the exe to a cd --- with nero make a file disk of the exe and put the resulting disc in your laptop hook up your projector and then drag the exe to your laptop's desktop and run the exe ken

the exif thing has been discussed before - search brings up many hits notably see some tests i ran at http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...&t=2470&hl=exif so if you are attempting to diddle your pictures make sure your graphics program does not delete the exif info Irfanview can delete it if the wrong default setting is made i dont know everything it is telling me but there is a pile of info there if one was troubleshooting and wanted to compare pict info i do very little digital so my scanned picts do not have it but as i mentioned in the WALMART thread http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=3513 they do embed it on a picture cd so there must be a reason -- the same as they code every print on the back so they can troubleshoot their process as well as your print see http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=exif&b...le+Search&meta= http://www.takenet.or.jp/~ryuuji/minisoft/...ifread/english/ ken

well Dave welcome to the forum. each pict already has a name and if you have the picts loaded into the program if you go to project options/comments/check the box that says to set comments is this what you want? ken

just maintain the KISS concept ken

Barry always good to have a unique utility so please post/email me more info ken

hate to say it but as quoted from a joke that routinely circulates Jesus and Satan have a discussion as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge. They sit themselves at their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out." "Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better." Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, "B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact. How did he do it?" God smiled all-knowingly, "Jesus saves." ken

Tim i thought Igor revised the program to recognize the picts if they were all in the same folder and the folder was relocated -- have never tried it myself as i set up a fresh folder for each show and then copy all components to that folder -- then start making the show ken

if you have enough computing power it should do it now - but pixelation is a can of worms that has been reviewed many times for starters see http://www.scantips.com/basics06.html http://www.telacommunications.com/nutshell.../pixelation.htm http://www.windowsphotostory.com/Guides/NoPixelZoom/ http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=3413 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=2991 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=3476 ken

I forgot to mention a very important piece of info that i gleaned from the young lad at WalMart - they have more problems with the do it yourself digital touch screens with the men - the women can handle the process fine ken

Bob that would be an area i am not sure of the player might play it but the tv might not Igor better jump in here ken

Robert, i did not know much about digital and trusted the advice i was given--mistake #1 mistake #2 was buying a "el Cheapo" < $200 but on the bright side i know a bit more -- not to buy cheap and when people talk digital i have a general idea what they are talking about mistake #3 not saving my money so i will stick with film till the 3 slr bodies or lenses go the way of all old things then it will be another pop and shoot i did another roll after i wrote the walmart test cw a cd - made another dvd and tested it now i will try to fit in more tests with the paper prints vs the digital the purpose of this thread was to document it so we can direct people to this thread when size etc comes up some background info see ALSO SEE http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=3504 http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html http://www.wantage.freeserve.co.uk/72-dpi.htm see GERARD DESROCHES ENGLISH Digital Basics PAGE AT http://gdesroches.free.fr/formation/fnumerbase_en.htm http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=4&t=3513 ken

11:33 AM 8/20/2005 I purchased a 2 pack of Kodak Plus Digital ISO 400/27 - the deal included a free photo Cd with each roll when getting Kodak Perfect Touch prints for $3.97 plus taxes. I generally use ISO 400 or 800 in my pop and shoot camera as the Max flash range is approx. 10 feet. The pictures were varied bright sun - groynes - water- beach - sand -- flowers and one granddaughter up a 10 ft ladder picking climbing green beans out of the cedar trees. the prints turned out fine but the bright sun - groynes - water-beach shots on the Cd were really saturated and quite grainy The WalMart Cd contains all the smarts[ macromedia viewer] to run a slide show of the picts from one folder, plus in another folder a duplicate set of picts to order on line from c/w a shortcut to the web site order form -- they are the same size picts - I do not understand their logic here because one cannot rename what is on a Cd. 4 sets of prints incl. developing was $14.06 incl. taxes what normally costs addition $1 was the index print - this was n/c because of the photo Cd Normal price of a photo Cd is $ 3.97 with 40 prints on it - extra prints are .10 cents each -- plus taxes WalMart will make a 12 x 18 inch enlargement for $5.97 plus taxes one thing I wont have to do is scan in the prints but normally depending on what I was scanning I would quite often scan in at 250 dpi as a tiff - resize and save as a jpeg 80% quality on Irfanview's resize screen it indicates the picts are 72 DPI so this gives rise to the 72 dpi question If Kodak/WalMart felt that the print orders for 8x10 or greater picts would not be satisfactory why would they not save to Cd as a greater DPI at the store in our city they have they have upwards of 6 do it yourself machines including 1 card reader that you pick pictures from to send to the processing portion -- after a long weekend or special happening the people are lined up to do their thing -- all of the major grocery stores also have the same layout as well the normal camera shops so they must be doing something right with these methods -- they are satisfying the masses I don't have any idea what the mix of forum members are I personally do for my family and friends and personal satisfaction - how many others do the same -- we could be the masses considerable number of members do shows for competitions how many do shows for money? now I have to do experiments as to the happy medium/price saving/quality -- I can make a copy of a Cd for +- .60 cents -- give it to my 3 girls rather than a pack of prints @ $1.97 + tax to be put in an album/shoebox WalMart TEST composition of show used P2E 4.42 PEANUTS - PIANO SOLO BY HENRY MANCINI - MP3 = 2201 KB 26 JPGS FOLDER OF JPGS = 35.3 MB AVERAGE SIZE 1.357 MB EA. 2 BLANKS AT START 2 AT END WalMart TEST EXE = 38,718 KB AVI = 24,388 KB WalMart TEST PUSH RIGHT TO LEFT EXE = 38,718 KB AVI = 24,388 KB PUT SAME ON DVD WITH NERO 6.6 WITH NO EXTRA'S - JUST BACKGROUND AND A BUTTON FOR EACH SHOW DVD SIZE = 223 MB INFORMATION/EXIF DATA FROM #1 PICTURE DISK SIZE = 1.29 MB (1,351,125 Bytes) CURRENT MEMORY SIZE =4.52 MB (4,739,112 Bytes) ORIGINAL SIZE = 1542 x 1024 Pixels (1.58 MPixels) PRINT SIZE FROM DPI = 54.4 x 36.1 cm; 21.4 x 14.2 inches File: - D:\P2E SHOWS - d 1pictures WORKING FOLDER\1_walmart aug 19 05\00470001.JPG XResolution - 72 YResolution - 72 ResolutionUnit - Inch YCbCrPositioning - Centered ExifOffset - 90 ExifVersion - 0210 ComponentsConfiguration - YCbCr FlashPixVersion - 0100 ColorSpace - sRGB ExifImageWidth - 1542 ExifImageHeight - 1024 INFORMATION/ EXIF DATA FROM # 26 PICTURE DISK SIZE = 1.12 MB (1,178,378 Bytes) CURRENT MEMORY SIZE = 4.52 MB (4,739,112 Bytes) ORIGINAL SIZE = 1542 x 1024 Pixels (1.58 MPixels) PRINT SIZE FROM DPI = 54.4 x 36.1 cm; 21.4 x 14.2 inches File: - D:\P2E SHOWS - d 1pictures WORKING FOLDER\1_walmart aug 19 05\00470026.JPG XResolution - 72 YResolution - 72 ResolutionUnit - Inch YCbCrPositioning - Centered ExifOffset - 90 ExifVersion - 0210 ComponentsConfiguration - YCbCr FlashPixVersion - 0100 ColorSpace - sRGB ExifImageWidth - 1542 ExifImageHeight - 1024 PUSH TRANSITION WAS -- JERKY POOR QUALITY WHEN TIME PERMITS WILL HAVE TO REDO ALL WITH CHANGES TO COLOUR AND TRANSITIONS KEN

when a dvd is produced or a vcd/svcd -- the fancy stuff - buttons - nav bar etc disappear -- the dvd player controls are then the only functioal controls -- but the controls you build into the exe -- run continuous -- sync - fade etc remain depennding on the authoring software for the dvd, certain controls can be built in to the dvd for "chapter" display -- my experience here is limited as i have not seen a need -- each piece of of software has different terminolgy and confusion takes over in my case as mentioned many times in the past it now becomes absolutely necessary to properly position text, set screen size and frames around picture position to get satisfactory results these settings really cannot be laid down as only the person developing the show knows what the final "playing" hardware is going to be and what may be right for one person's system may not "fit" another's that is why it becomes imperative to view a dvd on different tv screens and or projector screens before you say "that's a rap" and a final thought -- if there is any chance that the work will be shown in a different country include a show for the various PAL - NTSC and SECAM. ken
