Default PPT storyboarding with Photo Story 3


Consider that you can simply create:
MP3 data disk with about 1500 typical length MP3 soundtracks!
JPEG data disk with about 13,000 images of typical good resolution.

and use your cheapo DVD player support for playing these jukeboxes-disks of
audio clips or huge slide shows.

So that begs the question about those JPEG image data disks. What is the
quality of these images compared to say a SVCD slide show where you convert
the JPEG images to MPEG2 for video disks?


'Bout the same, at least the times I've tried it with yer basic family snaps
sort of images.

Since the entire jpeg image is read by the DVD player, it does a hardware
video transform on the fly for display?


Must be.

I gather that these JPEG data CDs/DVDs don't support any soundclip
synchronization capability (like DVD/SVCD slide show disks do).


Or effects, transitions, user-friendly interface. On mine, the interface is
downright opaque, in fact. I wouldn't dream of handing a cd full of JPGs to my
mom and expecting her to be able to play it, where with a VCD slideshow,
navigation is pretty much like a DVD, or can be.

Hoping somebody has answers for the latest round of Qs, 'cause it's beyond
my
ken at this point!

I seem to have the full version; I made a slide show CD/DVDthing earlier today
out of curiosity. In it, if you rightclick a picture or transition and choose
Properties, you can change the transition or picture display times. Pretty
clumsy, that one.

BTW, did you also try Nero Vision Express? I've been poking at it a bit
and
also the Windows Movie Maker. Interested to hear your take on how they
compare
(and also the ULead product).

Once you get past a certain age, you ned a microscope to see *hairs*.


Are you suggesting that aging has its benefits? like intrinsic visual
"smoothing" ?


You don't notice everyone around you getting gradually more attractive?

Or at least less wrinkly?

Agreed on that one. I actually do like the MS Photo Story interface. Too bad
the conversoin results are not worthy.

Actually that comment about navigating VCD slideshows is interesting. I
created a SVCD slide-show directly in my Ulead Movie Factory 3 SE, one with
sound clips tacked to the images, and the second one just the jpgs.
When I play the SVCD with JUST the images on my DVD player, the | (next
button) on my DVD remote control advances to the next slide as expected. But
with the mixed SVCD that button doesn't advance the slide at all! hmmm
sounds like something strange in the menuing of the SVCD!
So even VCDs are not without their own onscreen navigation glitches :-)

Seems so. FWIW, mine's a sub $50 Polaroid DVD player. I didn't expect too
many luxe features. g

Didn't have time to read through all the posts but one thing you have wrong
is 640X480. DVD's require 720X480.

To add some references, a very useful site on Movie Makes and Photo Story
is:
http://www.papajohn.org/


Yeah, PapaJohn's a good guy. I don't think there's a PhotoStory group, but
you might want to try
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...sxp.moviemaker and
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...indowsxp.video -- I know he
posts quite frequently in those groups.

As far as I'm concerned, you can crosspost to this group and those if you
want, as I suspect many reading here would be interested in the answers to
your Movie Maker and Photo Story questions also. They're a bit off-topic,
but I think they're still very relevant.
