Activation Key is found in the Order Confirmation email that was sent from support@flipalbum.biz
to your registered email address the same day the purchase was made.
| i. | Before proceeding, please save your album as Book, complete (*.opf file + contents). | |
| ii. | Click on CD Maker -> Export Current Flipbook to CD. The CD Maker function in FlipAlbum creates the following: | |
| a. | One folder named FlipAlbumCD, | |
| b. | One file named autorun.inf, and | |
| c. | One file named startCD.exe. | |
| iii. | Select all 3 files/folders mentioned above, NOT the folder containing them, for burning to CD. Please make sure that you ONLY see the above 3 items in the root directory of your CD. | |
| iv. | Proceed to burn the CD | |
| v. | Burn the CD as a DATA CD. | |
| vi. | Make sure you have selected ISO 9660 Level 2 (Max of 31 chars), Joliet, and Relax ISO restrictions for pathdepth and characters in path. | |
| vii. | Never permit the CD software to rename any files - if it is trying to do so you don't have the CD burning software set correctly (and, if it ever does try to rename files, don't ever turn off the warning in the future or you will not know it is renaming files!). | |
| viii. | Select No Multisession, and Finalize the CD. | |
| i. | Do not have too many annotations. Text does not look good in video format. | |
| ii. | If you do have annotations, try to avoid fonts with straight edges. | |
| iii. | Large font sizes are also encouraged, like point size 28 and above for normal sized fonts. | |
| iv. | Try to choose a darker page and book background. This will minimize the flickering effect that may occur on some TVs. | |
| v. | Size of your pictures DOES matter. Whenever possible, use the centerfold mode for your pictures so that they will occupy as much of the screen as possible. | |
