Re: picture duration

Just a quick note... Please unstuck your CAPS lock on the keyboard. It is
considered a very bad breach of net-etiquettes to post all caps messages.

THANMKS MUCH LARS! YOURS WAS THE BEST ANSWER SO FAR.

I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE ISN'T A SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE DIGITAL
SOFTWARE PROGRAM THAT SIMPLY, SIMPLY SIMPLY SUBSTITUTES FOR THE OLD TWO
STEP
35mm TASKS OF 1)"SORTING" LARGE GROUPS OF SLIDES AND 2) PROJECTING (VIA
DLP
IN LIEU OF A CARASEL) VIA LAPTOP AND DLP. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. I
DO
NOT NEED TRANSITIONS AND SUCH FOR A SIMPLE SLIDE PRESENTATION.

MAYBE DEVELOPING THIS SOFTWARE COULD RECUE EASTMAN KODAK????

THERE MUST BE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CAURASEL 35 MM SLIDE USERS OUT
THERE
WHO WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY BY A SPECIFIC PROGRAM AND NOT A WORK-AROUND.

THANKS AGAIN!

As also an Architect, I will suggest an Alternate!!!!!!!

Having nearly died from the frustration of dealing with WMM and slides
(check my past posts), I have blown like 18 months with a 100 yr family
history slide show and WMM.

As I attempted to show version one from my computer via feed to my GTWY
42"
plasma TV, and getting stuck, my 40 yr old son came to the rescue and
rattled
off the commands for the always present SLIDE SHOW option intergral with
any
folder in WinXP or such.
So I did, and a happy show tho without the vintage music.

As U know, simple is often better, cleaper, cleaner, and faster. Hence
my
sugggestion. I may well return to that option.

Forgedabout the carousel or such. You can feed from your lapeop, using
RGB
cable if you dont have an offfice network. I use a Toshiba convertible
and
works fine. You then can access ANY slides you have of other projects
that
may crop up in a discussion group in the ocnf room, be it clients or
yours.


Now THE SECRET. You go to the Belkin website and you buy a Belkin RF
keyboard and gesture mouse, thats RF, which means I can control the non
laptop in the loft (and thru walls), which has a AB switch to send the
RGB
signal to either the Gateway Plasma on main floor, or to my upstairs
monitor.
So couplea yrs ago I could browse the web sitting on my couch viewing
the
web on a 42" widescreen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid IR controls
anyway!!!!!!
Think the RF keyboard and gesture mouse pkg was about $65 or so, no more
than IR.....

SO

Now you can preload your laptop, bring along somoe cable options (15 pin
RGB0 and S video and whatever else). Set the laptop next to the clients
TV
or AV console, with the RF tenna plugged into a USB in the laptop. The
RF
keyboard and mouse you simply carry to your seat or place at conf table.
And
away you go.

The other thing you get is MUCH BETTER picture quality, and NO HASSLES OF
conversion to DVD or AVI files or all this other garbage.

Color me Been There and why the heck didnt I stop 18 months ago when I
already had THE answer.... and am still knocking my head out trying to
play
Mr. Moveee Producer. Isnt your time more valueable than that????

PS- my RGB feed consistss of a 12' high quality cable coupled to a 6'
cable.
If using the laptop near my living room Plasma TV I use the 6' cable for
direct feed.
REMEMBER
all cable is not created equal. You must spend the $$ for a cable with
the
small cylindrical devices on them. Mine probably are both Belkin.
Note I managed to talk to a VERY helpful person via E mail there and he
set
me up with the various devices. However you now have the facts...
