XAT

I am by no means actually degrading Xat. It is a very fine program
in its class. Actually the pictures are sharper then Pictures to
Exe. I use both for my business. I like the fact that Xat will make
a cd with both computer and vcd. I have not been with this forum
long enough to know much about if Xat can do svcd's and I guess they
can all I need is the updated software for this. I would say that
Xat in its own power has a good program and has a future and all of
us including myself should stick it out and learn all you can and
sample other programs to compare. I believe that Xat is ahead of the
field in certain ways and I like both programs. I wish we had a web
site like Picture to Exe to upload our presentations for all of us to
view. Perhaps one day. I would do this if only I could afford it.

I believe that Xat wants us to converse with other members and
perhaps work out our answers to our questions.

I look forward to another beta version that would perhaps have a
preview to see what our creations look like before we go through the
process.

Mine works great... transitions and all on the PC and television. The only
drawback is that you can only have one song per "program".
Dee

I have used it and only seems to work with one song for some reason when yo
u are choosing the transitions but Steve I have no idea why it is not worki
ng for you at all. Sandy

[ssstevens89048]

I really mudt be doing something wrong.Can not imagine why it works for you
and it shows me up evertime.I wonder if maybe I should remove it and redow
nload again I have did it twice so I guess one more want hurt.My transition
s will not play on the TV and that is with Beta.also any music over one all
will skip back 2 frames music and pics to start over it will then play thr
ough until the next song and it does it"s skip trick again.
Steve

To add another song, all you have to do is click on add files.
You choose a second song. I have made shows with 200 pictures
and three or four songs. no problem. If you want the second song
to start at a certain point, you have to figure how long each slide
is. That takes time. I'm hoping the next version will have something
where you have 1 song timed to a group of pictures.

Steve:

Have you tried it without the music? Let's diagnose the problem one step at
a time. Your music seems to be taking up a lot of the CD's capacity which
limits the number of images. What is the music format (mp3, WAV, etc.)?

Transitions will work for your DVD player only at 352x240
resolution. Check your transitions setting.

Also, not all CDs are created equal. Are you using a good quality CD
(Memorex, Sony, Maxell, etc.)?

The information is correct download this version it will do
transitions & music I am not sure if it is a 30 day trial ? If you
have to buy it ? or how that works since I got a refund.

On the settings tab at the right bottom half of the page click on the
drop down menu for transitions & choose the one you want.
Then click on the drop down menu for format & choose 352x240 with
transitions & of course choose either spaced to music or sync to
music which is what I have used on the options tab.
You just have to get an idea of how long you want each picture to
stay on the screen & then calculate how much time you need in music.
Example I used 50 pictures, 5 seconds each, 50 x 5 +250 seconds
divided by 60 seconds = 4 minutes 16 seconds so I use as close to
that amount of time in music as I can get & it will do the rest &
sync the music to the pictures for you.
I hope this helps I remember how frustrated I was at first & it is
hard to get someone to walk you through it.

WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING SYSTEM WISE ??
What is your processor speed ? How Much Memory Do You Have, Hard
Drive Size ? Is anything else running when you are creating your
shows ? What kind of burner ? Does it say it will do VCD format
compatible ?

I know this is not the best place for my problem but I couldn't find
any other forum on xat.professional image optimizer.
After rebuilding my computer I had to have release code again.
It was send to me but I have the same message constantly that the
code is not correct.
I need help to find the place to resolve this problem, the email
address info xat.com is working but I have no replay from anyone .
Can anyone help me out where to find maybe technical support, or
someone to communicate with.
Thanks Eva
