RudiRe Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 I just discovered an interesting program, called NeoBook 4.1.Very similar to PTE, yet much more expensive ($199.95)There is a tour ready for download as a standalone exe, which can be downloaded athttp://www.neosoftware.com/software/nbwtour.exeThis presentation (838 KB) has been made with NeoBook. It is very informative and shows the programs potential.Now my proposal:I think, we should have a similar presentation for PTE, also made with PTE, which interested newbies then can download from wnsoft.com to get a quick, competent overall idea.Please download the NeoBook presentation and have a look at it. You then immediately get the idea, and also an interesting comparison between NeoBook and PTE.I'm looking forward, what you think about it.

quietstorm Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 yes..NeoBook is good, but why pay for a high cost "e-book" program when you can find programs that can actually make ebooks cheaper!I have used NeoBook in the past (3 years+) and I think it isjust a "cosmetic" e-book generator!Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodB Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 HiNeobook is a multimedia design program just like Multimedia Builder , Indigo Rose Autoplay Studio or Opus and at the head of this class is Macromedias Director (steeeeeep learning curve) .l have tried them all and for the money you cannot go past MMB , they are all very powerfull programs in the hands of a script wizard and have many plugins available which gives them much power .You cannot compare PTE to any of the above , the above apps are designed for interactive cdroms , kiosks , ebooks , installation routines , games etc etc they are indeed multimedia .PTE is a slideshow program that will allow a few links , it is specialized in one area while the programs above combine all types of media from video to 3D animation and allow you interact with all of it while PTE makes only slideshows .Regards RodMultimedia Builder http://www.mediachance.com/oldindex.htmlAutoPlay Studiohttp://www.autoplaystudio.com/site/index.phpOpushttp://www.digitalworkshop.com/dw_shop/products/opus/Mediator6 Prohttp://www.matchware.net/products/mediator/home_en.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmanz Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Now my proposal:I think, we should have a similar presentation for PTE, also made with PTE, which interested newbies then can download from wnsoft.com to get a quick, competent overall idea. I think this is a nice Idea. But, It would have to be updated every threemonths or so. It would take about as much time keeping it updated aswnsoft does working on the newest and greatest version.But, I do agree with you. We see so many question asked more then once.It would be nice to have a traning show for someone to watch. But, I now myself,I normally have to try and try until I get something to work. Then I read the Directions and find out the easy way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiRe Posted January 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 RodB and quietstorm,PTE does not just make slideshows, see my Jukebox. However, my point was not to recommend NeoBook, but to propose a PTE tour made with PTE, as there is a NeoBook tour, made with NeoBook.

Michel Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Very good idea, Rudi !I'm going perhaps to work in french for a PTE tour with PTE.Or if anywhere want to make that, we can translate in differents language.Why not ?

RodB Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Hi Guys My post was based on what you said RudiquoteI just discovered an interesting program, called NeoBook 4.1.Very similar to PTEPlease download the NeoBook presentation and have a look at it. You then immediately get the idea, and also an interesting comparison between NeoBook and PTE.And thats what l did Rudi , compared them , and l will still stand by , that when comparing PTE with the programs mentioned , PTE does just make slideshows with the ability to add a few links , its unfair to try and compare PTE to something like Neobook , its kinda like comparing Irfanview with Photoshop . Maybe you should try some of those apps Rudi , then you will see what l mean .If you really want to present PTE in a demo tour , you would be better of making it in one of those apps than PTE , PTE is way to limited for a presentation , it can be done but it would not be in the same boat as to what could be made by those apps that are designed for it .Your JuKebox show was great for PTE , but from the eyes of someone heavy into multimedia ,well l think you know .To finish up here , there is most definately Horse's for Course's in the world of multimedia !Please dont jump Rudi and take this the wrong way Regards Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiRe Posted February 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 RodB, you either completely misunderstood my proposal, or maybe it didn't express myself clearly enough, since english is not my native language.Nearly everything in the NeoBook Demo can be done with PTE as well.The NeoBook Demo gives the user a good insight into that program.So my thought was, having a similar Demo for PTE, respectively made with PTE.
