  SLIDE SHOW / AVI MOVIE  
Build professional slide shows in a few mouse clicks. More than 2000 transition effects at your fingertip. Add a music playing in the background together with audio comments that would match specific pictures or could be recorded live, with a microphone, while producing AVI movies. The use of a "loss less" codec preserves the image quality in the resulting AVI movie. Slide show or movie could be burned on a CD-ROM using the "auto run technology", and no install would be required to play the resulting CD-ROM on another computer.

  MINIMUM CONFIG  

PC Pentium 400 MHz +.
At least 256 MB RAM to work with 2000, XP, and 2003.

Program only 7 MB, but requires a large working directory when building slide show or movie.

Screen size 800x600 (better 1024x768) in true color mode.

Windows® 98, 2000, Me, XP, 2003 (optimized for Windows® 2000, XP, 2003).

CD-ROM combo, with dedicated CD burning software.
Full duplex sound board + microphone.

DirectX version 8 +.
Codec DivX 4.12 + if you want to play DivX movies.

 Note for Windows 98/ME users.

ZAP Media Solution is optimized to work with operating systems based on the NT technology. Some features are missing in 98/ME, and the following restrictions would apply to them:
  • Large pictures (above 4 millions pixels) will be resized in order to fit within the 98/ME 16 MB memory limit.
  • If you got the Windows message "not enough memory, please close unused applications" when ZAP builds thumbnails for the current folder. Then avoid to use the "graphic" mode display while browsing folders with more than 400 pictures, use instead the "All" display mode, that would save the limited 98/ME GDI stack space.

 These restrictions do not apply to new Windows OS versions.
