Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / April 2007Simple CD/DVD Slide show that can work with Folders.
Can any one help I need a Dead simple slide show software to autorun on a CD/DVD, that can handle Folders, so like Folders as in Wedding, Xmas , Holiday etc, that can be selected and shown separately. Some thing along the lines of Vueslide program, with folder support.

Might they not have problems pressing 'next' during a presentation if the previous is too hard ? ;) Alternatively burn the whole lot in one slideshow with title pages and make them look through the whole lot. good luck! k Mathew Good wrote: > Can any one help I need a Dead simple slide show software to autorun > on a CD/DVD, that can handle Folders, so like Folders as in [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks If you have MS Office, create it in Power Point, save it as a .PPS file with the name "slideshow.pps". Next create a text file containing the following text [autorun] open=slideshow.pps then save the file and renam it as "Autorun.inf" Now simply burn both files to your CD. Job done. > Mathew Good wrote: > > Can any one help I need a Dead simple slide show software to autorun [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Now simply burn both files to your CD. > Job done. Which may be fine if EVERYONE you want to give it to already has PowerPoint installed, but putting Irfanview on the DVD along with the pics guarantees they can actually run it. MrT. >> Mathew Good wrote: >>> Can any one help I need a Dead simple slide show software to autorun [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > MrT. It appears you are correct. I was always under the impression that PPS was a standalone alternative to PPT which would run on any computer regardless of whether power point was installed. It now appears I was wrong, and a power point player is still required. This is completely contrary to what the MS Office help files suggest, and as a result I'm left wondering how many CD's I've distributed to people who have just binned it and added me to their "weirdo's to be avoided" list.

Our clients create a slideshow with PowerPoint and convert it to flash with third party tools like PPT2Flash Professional. When uploaded to web, viewers just need a URL to play the flash slideshow within their browser. For the folder support, you can have the similar category management for viwers. See this example by PPT2Flash Professional http://www.sameshow.com/images/ppt2flash4-demo/player.html More details about PPT2Flash Professional are available from s http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash-pro.php?sid=5 Free Trial from http://www.sameshow.com/download/powerpoint-to-flash-download.php?sid=5 How to use it from http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1515 >On Feb 24, 6:41 am, Mathew Good <m...@yahoo.org wrote: >> Can any one help I need a Dead simple slide show software to autorun on a CD/DVD, that can handle [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >How to use it from >http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1515 I did say dead Simple I think, that needs to be self contained on the CD/DVD and No Web use. or Power point and runes on WIN95 to CP.

Plain old html where you click to advance would be the only dead simple solution... another possibility is to create a movie but again there's a good possibility it won't be a compatible format... I have seen movies in exe format. > Mathew Good wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > there's a good possibility it won't be a compatible format... I have > seen movies in exe format. What about HTML with a meta page refresh to advance on to the next page after a pre-determined time? >>Mathew Good wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > What about HTML with a meta page refresh to advance on to the next page > after a pre-determined time? I never heard of that before, it does work: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=./page2.html"> </head> <body> page 1 </body> </html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=./page1.html"> </head> <body> page 2 </body> </html> I could set up something to generate pages like that with php, what're ya paying? Alternatively, use any web gallery generator like in photoshop and use something like pspad to 'find & replace in files' to add the code. replace: <title> with: <title>page1</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=./page1.html"> replace: </title> with: "" and manually change the numbers in each. > I could set up something to generate pages like that with php, what're > ya paying?

The attached bat file comes close... edit out the leading & trailing quotes & change the .htm name to next in the sequence & it works. Pasted below in case that attachment doesn't work (might need to remove the line wrap): for %%I in (*.jpg) do ( echo "<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=./%%I.htm"> </head> <body> <img src="%%I" </body> </html>" > %%I.htm ) >> Paul Furman wrote: >>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> content="1;url=./%%I.htm"> </head> <body> <img src="%%I" </body> >> </html>" > %%I.htm ) Simple, and effective. I like it.

Nero will make you an autorunning slideshow on a DVD that will play in a home DVD player or a computers DVD drive with no user input. It's very simple. You just drag the files onto a timeline and click teh "burn" button. Just how simple do you need it to get? >Mathew Good wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >"burn" button. >Just how simple do you need it to get? But does it let you select the Folders to view..? Mathew Good wrote: >> Mathew Good wrote: >>> [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > But does it let you select the Folders to view..? Yes. It allows you to build in a DVD menu page. In fact it will do this automatically for you if you tell it to. Each slideshow on the DVD will refer to images in a particular folder. You can even include the original image files on the disc with a link allowing computer users to browse the folders if they feel that way inclined. It's exactly the same as the chapter selection menu you see when you rent out a movie on DVD. Extremely user friendly for the end user.

Dear Mr. Good: I've used Flip Album for this type of application. To get the "folders" you'll probably need to use the "Professional" version: http://www.flipalbum.com/ I've had success sending these on CD's to folks that barely know how to turn on a PC. I think a DVD would get a lot more challenging for marginal users of Windows 95, since 95 does not support DV's! But I've used it as a CD with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP. Good Luck!
