I appreciate the Blog. Although I don't contribute often, I'm always reading the blog. I regularly recommend PhotographyforRealEstate.Net to our client's. We're currently researching how to offer DVD format after your tour is built with Buildatour.com. As most of you know, saving to DVD format takes a WHILE. We're not sure, at this point. how we're going to accomplish this .... but rest assured, we're working on it. It's funny, we thought that getting to the "Download to CD" stage (original plan was .EXE) would be UTOPIA!!! Of course, technology has advanced since we introduced Buildatour.com .... so, now the HD TV's (generally flat ... LCD or Plasma) are the norm. Good News!!! We'll have 18 new background music seletcions available this week. If you have questions about our services or need our assistance in any way, please contact us anytime. Sincerely, Brad Claghorn President Buildatour.com, L.L.C. (314) 256-9252 contact@buildatour.com Good work Larry.

Greetings;

I have not found a way to covert a Flash Slideshow to DVD with
acceptable quality. I use monoslideshow to create a Flash Slide show
for the web, I simply edit the XML file. I then use iDVD on the Mac
to create a DVD.

The whole point of using Flash slide shows is that 99%+ of viewers on the planet already have Flash installed so downloading anything is not required. Whenever you ask users to download stuff (even Java and QuickTime) just to see your photos or tour you immediately loose a huge number of viewers. Many will not download because they just don't want to take the time and annoyance and many others (like myself) will not download because they are concerned about "what evil lurks within". Bill,

Flash show in less than 5 minutes and you can export into many formats including Macromedia and Quicktime. I make my websites with Homestead...all template based, no html needed. I just import the shockwave file. http://www.verticalmoon.com/products/swfnslide/ http://www.homestead.com/ I use Swf’n slide pro and it’s easy.

Doesn't Lightroom output flash slideshows? I have never tried just the slide show, I did waste a week trying to convert Quicktime videos to DVD but the quality was horrible and the process buggy.

I use buildatour.com but unfortunately they are not transferable to a DVD. I don't get that many requests. Just recently did a DVD using iDVD for a friend/realtor for a memorial service DVD. I've had requests for 10 of them from friends and family. Another business opportunity. I agree with Cherie. I use buildatour.com but unfortunately they are not transferable to a DVD.
