MPEG1 in Slideshow

[famdebraaf]

Chris,

great enhancements in the new beta release B4. I really like the
graphical slide ordering possibility !

I successfully got a MPEG1 (according the VCD standard) in the
slideshow by dragging & dropping (pull down menu for file add did
not recognize the file..).

I placed the MPEG file right in the slideshow. By showing in TV
there was only 1 little problem - the slideshow did NOT advance
automatically to the movie section - it halted (music continued).
I had to press the FORWARD button on remote control to get the movie
started - after movie slideshow continued fine. What went wrong ?
(Just as I write this I get a thought - has this to do with SYNC to
MUSIC? May be not ...)

regards, Michael

Yes sync to music does not work if you have MPGs - too difficult for now!

Not sure why you had this problem though. Can you send me your setup (.xats
file)

Thanks Chris.

I've been able to add an mpeg to a vcd. This doesn't show as a video
in the exe / screensaver file. Should the mpeg play on the pc also?
If not, does anyone know of software to turn an avi or mpeg into a
self-running exe file?

Thanks

No, its VCD only.
