Understanding Music
Yes I understand this - but I can easily calculate the average for my camera and photo types by building a 1700 or 1200 slide disk and divide by the total CD size (even with the PC slide show included it would average out). I am not even looking for the total, just tell me what overhead is added to the VCD and the PC slide show by the music, I can calculate my own averages for the entire composition. The results I am getting from our last conversation are confusing me - I have a VCD that is much less than an hour and added a 45 minute music file: 1) I put together a disk with 6 shows, total of 1200 slides with a PC slide show included, the image file comes out to 415 MB. 2) I edit the same XATSHOW config and add a 45 Minute MP3 (48 MB) to the menu root, deconfigure the PC slideshow and I get a warning that the disk will be 2000 MB. 3) When I move the same music file to one of the slide show directories I get no error, but XAT fills my harddrive up building the disk. I guess I can't understand from the results how sound is supposed to work and the help documentation does not explain it. So I can't even get to any type of reasonable estimate of whether cutting my 1200 picture disk down to 600, 400, 100 pictures would give room for the sound. Thanks, D. PS - A couple follow up questions: *) If I add sound that is shorter than the slides, does the sound file get repeated, or does it just end? *) Is there a way to add a sound file that applies to the entire disk that has more than one slide show on it? _________________________________ Darwin Sanoy Principal Consultant / Instructor DesktopEngineer.com WindowsInstallerTraining.com Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 5:17 PM Hello Darwin >How would I calculate the PC slide show into the equation (since I am >using it) ? Its not 100% predictable (becasue JPEG compression isn't) and depends on image size and quality. xatshow should warn you if the CD will be too big. Chris. |
