Multimedia Software World

I am a travelling lover, also, i like shooting. Making photo slideshow is the most often happened thing after my journey. I have tried a few photo slideshow maker software like previous free Windows Movie Maker, Proshow Gold, PhotoStory on CD & DVD Deluxe. And now i am trying Photo MovieTheater. One word i want to say is, they are all nice photo slideshow maker sofware. Of course, each of them has their own features, so you can choose one according to your demand. The following are my opinions about those three photo slideshow software—-PhotoStory on CD & DVD Deluxe, Photo MovieTheater, Proshow Gold

The three software have many common features like adding transitions between photos, adding text captions and animations to the slideshow, editing photos, recording voice, etc. Three of them can publish slideshow on DVD, SVCD, HD, Blu-ray. And can share the slideshow on Web, YouTube or CD.

However, there are many difference among them. In the aspect of photo editing, PhotoStory on CD & DVD Deluxe has 3D photo and text animation and it has picture to picture animation, You can find picture-to-picture animation in Photo MovieTheater, but not 3D animation. Proshow Gold doesn’t have this function.

As for the publishing method, three of them support iPod/iPhone. Photo MovieTheater is totally free if you publish with iPod/iPhone format. But you need to pay additional $5 if you use PhotoStory on CD & DVD Deluxe. Using Proshow Gold will pay much more, $20.

Three of the software support movie format Mpeg4, which is a popular format on YouTube, nevertheless, PhotoStory on CD & DVD Deluxe need to pay additional $5, Proshow Gold, $20. Fortunately, you can output Mpeg4 with Photo MovieTheater without any additional fee.

All in one, each of them has their own features, if you are a novice, i recommend you use Photo MovieTheater for it is very easy to use and has use wizards in the interface. Proshow Gold is the most difficult one for beginners, i think. For their price, PhotoStory on CD & DVD Deluxe is the most expensive one,($89.99), If you want to buy the slideshow software with full functions, it is a nice choice. Compared Proshow Gold with Photo MovieTheater, Photo MovieTheater should be the favorable one for it is much cheaper($35.95) than Proshow Gold($69.95), and its function is no less than Proshow Gold.

Unfortunately, three of them can’t be used on Mac, they can only used on Vista, Windows.

Mother’s Day present

Posted by effectvod in May 4, 2010

Mother’s Day is an annual holiday that recognizes mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general, as well the positive contributions that they make to society. And it is also a special day for children to express their love to mom. Using this chance, we can show mom how grateful we are for all her affectionate mothering and sweet love over the years. Then giving a special gift to mom becomes every child’s aspiration. How to show our gratitude to mom on this special day?

Make a personalized photo slideshow with pictures of mom, narrate every detailed story of each photos, even you can add mom’s video to the slideshow. Or if you live far away from home, Make a photo slideshow with photos of yourself or your wife, etc to let you mom know about your life. If you have children, come on! Make DVD slideshow with baby photos, I am sure mom will be very happy to see her grandchildren.

E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow is the easiest and totally free photo slideshow software. You can turn your photos and video into slideshow complete with background music, narration, caption, illustration and so on. And you can burn the slideshow to DVD, SVCD, CD as you like.

Mom deserves something special. Give the impressive present made by yourself to her will surprise her most. She must be moved when she opens up your gift!

Photo MovieTheater and E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow are software all developed by eTinysoft.Inc. They are all HD photo slideshow maker software. As we can see from their names, the main difference between them is one is a shareware and the other is freeware. As to other functions, I would like to analyze it from the following aspects.
1.The interface of the two software: At the first sight, you must say they have the same interface. Actually, they have difference in each window. And the big difference is the “Publish” window. In Photo MovieTheater, there are many output formats buttons to be chosen. However, we can only choose DVD in E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow. There has DVD burn introduction Demo in E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow, not in Photo MovieTheater.
2.The functions of the two software: To be honest, I consider E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow is simplified from Photo MovieTheater. Many functions of the two software are the same. But the Photo MovieTheater is much powerful than E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow. Firstly, Photo MovieTheater can make picture slideshow from images and video clips with abundant transitions and effects, nevertheless, E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow only has little transitions and I think these transitions are the worst ones in Photo MovieTheater. Secondly, Photo MovieTheater support more than 50 output formats including AVCHD, WMV, MJPEG AVI, 3GP, MP4, SWF, MKV, etc. E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow only free support DVD output format.
3.The usage of the two software: They are all slideshow maker software. If you only want to turn photos to video and burn them on DVD to share them on TV or DVD player or just have a fun with your images, E.M. Free DVD Photo Slideshow is the best choice, I think. If you want to make professional slideshow for wedding, birthday party, graduation shows, etc. Photo MovieTheater will be better for its variety transitions and output format. Of course, you need to pay $35.95

The following are my views about the two software. All in one, if you are looking for that kind of software, the two are nice choice. In fact, there are also other software can make slideshow, such as Windows Movie Maker, Microosoft Photo Storys and so on.

Exciting News

Posted by effectvod in October 29, 2009

Yesterday, the boss announced a piece of exciting news—-in order to celebrate the successful development of MP4 progress as well as broaden staffs’ horizons. The company decides to provide us a choice to have a journey.
According to the plan, senior staffs will go to Lijiang, which is one of the most beautiful places in China. Junior ones go to Yangshuo where I have been to last year. To be honest, I was very disappointed at the very beginning for Lijiang is the place I have cherished for a long time.
