Photo cd?????

I am making a photo cd using movie maker, when i burn to
a cd i cannot play it back in a dvd player, can't i make
a photo cd with this program or just movies?!

You can't make anything with Movie Maker that will play in a DVD player.
You'll need some other third party software to do that. You might find some
suggestions at www.papajohn.org

Just movies.

But you can take your movies and use other software to burn discs from them.
See the CD Burning section of www.papajohn.org to see what others are using.

If your "movie" consists entirely of photos, you might consider software
more tailored for creating "slide shows". Microsoft's recent update to
Plus! Digital Media Edition supports creating a VCD which will playback in
many (most?) "recent" DVD players. There are also several third-party
packages available for less than $50, see http://papajohn.org for details.
MyDVD from Sonic might be a good option for WMM2 users as it supports WMA
files for background music.

If you don't want background music (just the pictures), you can create a
HighMAT/image CD directly from Windows XP using the "HighMATT Extension for
Windows® XP CD-Writing Wizard" from http://highmat.com. HighMAT/image CDs
will playback in some newer stand-alone DVD players from manufacturs like
Panasonic and Samsung.

Finally note that "Photo CD" (or "Picture CD") generally refers to a
specific CD format supported by Kodak. Some stand-alone DVD players support
this format directly.

This newsgroup is for Windows MovieMaker, which doesn't create VCDs (or DVDs
for that matter).

Mr. Kelly,

Mr. Smith's reply was not only ON-topic, it was very thoughtful and helpful.
Who the hell do you think you are???? You are very arrogant. Lighten up,
and get a life!!!

Photo CD's are not produced by Movie Maker 2...period. Only High Mat.

As regards to Mr. Smith, I do hope you have the best anti-virus software on
your system.

As far as who do I think I am...I think you know by now. I am the person who
told him he is Off-Topic. OK !!

and as far as your reply is concerned that too is off topic, it has nothing
to do with Movie Maker. If you want to debate, go somewhere else..OK ?

I have been reading and contributing to this newsgroup for quite some time,
and I have noticed thay MANY of your posts are WAY OFF TOPIC. Everything
from posting very personal messages to individuals, to internet security, to
newsgroup etiquitte, to simply bashing people for asking a question or
offering a response that YOU deemed to be off-topic or inappropriate.

I usually only reply to posts when I think I have some helpful advice to
offer, but in your case I made an exception (after restraining myself on
several other occasions). Feel free to get in the last word if you care to,
as I will not respond any more to your nonsense.

Hi there,

I deem nothing at all. Please read my reply to Papajohn on this subject..it
talks of rules that Microsoft subscribe to that exist in all newsgroups. If
you find that difficult...sorry I can't help you.

With regards to personal messages to individuals. The one post made was a
mistake. I asked Papajohn to help by having it deleted, but it still got
sent out. You will find a reference in the Netiquette rules I posted to
Papajohn today, a reference to people making petty remarks about
mistakes...so even your type of comment is considered OFF-TOPIC. I'm not
certain, but I think the rule says juvenile.

Mr Smith was criticized by me, which I have every right to do, for
continuously posting an almost identical set of messages. It is against the
rules...period. If you do not like the rules, then join the organization
that makes them and try and get it changed...I wish you luck

I am pleased that you will not respond..to do so is Off-Topic as is this.

Hello Bob,

I have just realized that I was a total fool, in not asking you to fully
read my remarks to Mr. Smith on the subject of being Off-Topic, as he quite
often is. In your exuberant haste to defend Mr. Smith, you failed to read
the message that was tacked on to the bottom of mine telling him to stop
it. By the way, I am having quite a chuckle here at your own haste.

So, as far as being very arrogant as you put it is concerned, I am not a
total idiot...I DO read the full message before jumping in with both feet.
So who the hell are you to tell me what to do or not to do anyway, you do
not even realise what you are commenting on....and now we move on to the
other remark...Lighten Up and Get a Life...Mr. Bob, you are as the RFC
rules label you, a complete immature beginner, who had better watch his
mouth in the future. Try reading the message that caused your jump into the
foray, and shut up until such time as you know what you are talking about.

And if you do not know what the above is..its called Hate Mail, Users like
you are warned by the RFC rules that you will get such hate mail when you
break the rules 9in the way you have. and as you were so free with your
estimate of me......you're not worth it
