You can import your photos & videos into MemoriesOnTV when the import task is selected. You can either use the built-in file explorer to drag & drop your photos/videos into the main panel, or use Windows Explorer.
Adding photo/video recursively
When you drag a folder into the main panel, it will create a new album. Any sub-folders that you drag in will be created as an album as well. In this way, your folder of photos and videos are added recursively into the project, with each folder forming an album.
Arranging your photo/video
To arrange your photos and videos in the album, simply drag and drop them to the desired position. When in thumbnail mode, the order of the photo/video in the slideshow is from left to right, followed by top to bottom. When in detailed list mode, the order is from top to bottom.
Hiding the Control Panel
To increase the workspace for your album's photos/videos, you can hide away the bottom control panel (showing the file explorer when in import mode) temporarily. To do so, simply click on the just above the control panel. Click on the same button to un-hide the control panel.
Photo/Video Input Format
MemoriesOnTV supports all the common photo & video formats:
Photo: jpg, bmp, png, tif, pcx, pgm, pct, pict, tga, wmf, eps
Video: mpg, avi, mov, mp4
Note that video format support is dependent on the video codec's installed on your PC. In order to support mov (& mp4), you will need to have Apple's QuickTime installed (QuickTime 6 for mp4). For all other formats, you should have a relatively recent version of DirectX installed. At the minimum, you should have DirectX 8.1, to support the most common video clip formats used in most digital cameras.
You can download the latest DirectX and QuickTime from the Microsoft's and Apple's website respectively:
DirectX : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads/default.asp
QuickTime : http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Main Panel Toolbar
The main panel toolbar provides some actions you can perform on your album or photo/video. The toolbar functions are described as follow, following the order shown above:
New Text Slide: Adds a new empty slide, for the purpose of just adding text.
Set Album's Menu Thumbnail: By default, the first photo in every album is used as the thumbnail representing the album in the disc menu. You can use this option to customize the menu thumbnail.
Rotate Clockwise: This rotates the selected photo(s) 90 degrees clockwise. Note that this feature will not work on videos.
Rotate Anti-Clockwise: Same as above, but in anti-clockwise direction.
Photo/Video Settings: This allows you to change the properties of your selected photo/video in the slideshow. For details, refer to customizing picture/video settings. You can also activate this by double-clicking on your photo/video.
Delete Photo/Video: This will remove the selected photo/video files from the album.
Toggle View Mode: This toggles the display of the main panel between thumbnail mode or detailed list mode.
