Photo Albums on VCD, Questions
Ok, Now that the nice ItTroll has hacked the LG3350 and I now have VCD I have been playing around creating Photo Albums, and before I get busy putting all my photo`s onto disk I have a few questions.
1. For display on my PC I size the photo`s to 800*600 pixels. What Is the best size for display on a TV ?
2. I have used Nero but I have read that Winoncd 3.8 enables an audio track with the album and sets upto 8 albums within the album. Any one used this. Is it better than Nero ?
3. Any one know where to get Winoncd from and what sort of price ?
Thanks

1. You can leave the pictures in any size as long as they are in JPEG format.
2.WinOnCD 3.7PE and 3.8PE are better than the current Nero for this as they allow easy Photo Album creation. The music track feature in 3.8PE is not worth much as it offers a selection of a music track instead of a picture, whereas what it should do is provide background music while viewing pictures. The new Nero 5.5 also looks good but is not out yet.
3. Cequadrat who make WinOnCD were bought by Adaptec (Roxio) last year. Unfortunately WinOnCD makes EasyCD look so p*** poor that Roxio will not sell it except in Germany. The German version is in English with German help files. You can either buy it from www.cequadrat.de or find it else where ;)

Thanks Gary,
I guess I will wait for Nero 5.5 and hope the update is out soon. I thought Winoncd provided background music as this is the feature I was looking for. It can add to the pleasure of the album. wrt the size of the picture I have since read the help files on Nero and have found that it adjusts the size of the picture for VCD to (VCD, normal 352x288) and (VCD, high 704x576) hence I guess as long as my pictures are bigger than this there will be no loss of quality. Thanks for the advice
