PicturePlayer highlights

Given that slide show programs are a dime a dozen, what makes PicturePlayer a good choice?
Well, because PicturePlayer has been optimized for use with CD ROMs and for setting images to music and also offers the following attractive features:

• Easy to use
• PicturePlayer is optimzed for use with CDs
• PicturePlayer requires no installation
• Images can be set to music
• Integrated AVI player
• It's supported by CDMenuPro (autostart menu software for CD ROMs)

Easy to use

PicturePlayer has also been designed with non-computer experts in mind. Creating a picture show couldn't be easier. Copy PicturePlayer into the image folder and you're done (this is the most simple approach). Use this approach and you'll not need the handbook! On the other hand, if you want to set the show's parameters to suit your own individual needs, you can do this too. You don't even have to copy PicturePlayer into each image folder, because it can be controlled with its own show file.

Optimized for use on CD ROMs

PicturePlayer does not have to be installed on the target system, because it does not use its own DLLs or registry entries. This means that PicturePlayer image CDs can be started on all Windows PCs (32 Bit), including on NT systems provided administration rights are not in place.

PicturePlayer uses relative path addresses (as far as possible), meaning that the show will run even if your CD ROM drive does not happen to be "D:" but "E:" or if the show is moved from "D:\Images\Vacationphotos\Italy\2000" to CD ROM "\Italy2000".

PicturePlayer takes the size of the monitor on the target system into account, meaning that the show can still be enjoyed if it's moved suddenly from a generous 19 inch 1280 x 1024 monitor to a 15 inch 800 x 600 monitor.

Picture size adjustment: The size of the picture is displayed according to the player window, meaning that larger pictures are automatically reduced in size.

Read ahead: In order to achieve faster image loading times, PicturePlayer will load the next picture in advance while the present image is still being viewed.
