Basic Preparation

There are three basic steps in creating your masterpiece: Compiling (includes importing new files), Sorting, and Editing. When you first open Medi@Show, the Wizard will automatically start up. But first, there is some Basic Preparation you may want to consider.

Use the i-Power function (refer to Internet Extras for more details) to access a world teeming of software or an endless amount of multimedia clips to begin building your database. While collecting, modifying, and editing your multimedia files, you may also want to use Medi@Show's built-in recorders that provide you with more added convenience.

Audio Wave Recorder

For microphone or audio CD recording, the Audio Wave Recorder adds another dimension to your film file.

If you would like to record microphone narration:

1.	Activate the recorder in the Control Panel.

2.	Be sure your microphone is hooked up correctly, adjust the microphone recording volume, and then press the Record button.

If you would like to Enable Audio CD Recording:

1.	Press the Setup button:

2.	Check the box and choose a track. Press OK when finished.

3.	For formatting the recording quality, press Format.

4.	Choose a Name, Format and select one of the Attributes (the higher the Hz, the better quality but more memory consumed). Generally, these are the minimum settings for the following qualities:

CD quality - 128 KB/s

Stereo quality - 64 KB/s

Radio quality - 22 KB/s

5.	Adjust the recording levels via the microphone volume and then press Record.

Be sure to press the Save As after recording and then open the new file while in the Audio Effects panel to employ. Refer to Ch. 3 for more details on individual controls.

AVI Video Recorder

Record video content through your own capture devices such as a PCI video capture card or USB video capture box.

When you first click on the AVI Video Recorder a live display should automatically begin operating provided that your capture device and its driver has been set up properly.

Click on the Capture Devices Settings button if you wish to adjust video and audio settings for your recorder.

Choose a suitable frame rate. The faster the frame rate, the more motion captured in the video content. The Driver and Compressor Settings are as follows:

Driver Settings will all depend on the specific driver. Functions that may be modified are brightness, color, RGB and etc. The Compressor Setting is for saving the file and let's you choose from the available video codecs (i.e. compression/decompression technology) supported by your computer. The more the compression, the less disk space the file will use.

To begin recording:

1.	Press Save As to name your file before recording (saves vast amount of time as compared to saving after recording).

2.	Adjust the camera as you please.

3.	Press record.

4.	You may also capture screens by simply pressing the Capture button and then selecting which folder to save it under.

System Settings

♦	Canvas Size: modify your default settings for your special effects or the canvas size (computer's screen resolution). If you find that playback is not smooth, choosing a smaller canvas size may improve the graphic display.

♦	Text Effects & Transition Effects: changing the default setting will alter default settings of previous slides that do not contain text. However, for transition effects, previous slides' won't be affected by later default adjustments since the transition effects are already in place and being applied.

Play Settings

Set play settings for your film/slide and select your background music here. If you prefer continuous play, choose Loop. When the file reaches the end during playback, it will automatically Loop to the beginning and resume playback without pausing.

For Manual playback, the slides will advance by a click of the mouse while Auto playback will play continuously with the time setting for individual slides available for adjusting in the Edit Mode.

Background Music supports four types of audio formats:

♦	MIDI

♦	WAV

♦	MP3

♦	Audio CDs

Independent of the foreground narration or audio effects assigned to each slide, the Background Music will continuously play the selected audio file throughout the entire slide show and is only available for modification here.


Compiling With the Wizard

There are 2 Ways to go about creating a project:

♦	Compiling with the Wizard

Compiling with the Wizard, best for users new to Medi@Show, will automatically run during startup but may be disabled.

Publishing on the Internet

After you have finished your slide show and are ready to publish on the Internet, the first step is exporting; except this time, you will be selecting the last option, Internet Export. Take a look at the Glossary below to determine which kind of Export will suit your publication needs.

Internet Export Glossary

Below is a factual description of all the files created during Internet Exporting and what the differences are between the three options.

Internet Streaming Format

This format will play your Medi@Show file in all its entirety on your web page in automatic mode similar to an executable file or with the Medi@Show Player. If you do not check Include Web materials, only a .FLZ file will be saved and won't be available for Internet Streaming. When the Include Web materials is checked, there will be a total of five files:

♦	.FLZ file is the compressed Medi@Show proprietary data file suited for Internet streaming. The .CAB and .JAR files have to accompany it in order to be played on the Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator respectively.

♦	.JAR file consists of a Netscape plug-in and needs to be in the same directory as the .HTM and .FLZ file which allows for playback of the Medi@Show file on Netscape Navigator. It will be located in the same directory under the name Mediashow.JAR.

♦	.CAB file consists of an ActiveX control and needs to be in the same directory as the .HTM and .FLZ file allowing for playback of the Medi@Show file on Internet Explorer. It will be located in the same directory under the name Mediashow.CAB.

♦	.JS file is a JavaScript file that detects the current version of the Web browser and warns users if it is not up-to-date.

♦	.HTM file is the template that compiles all the files for playback.

DHTML

By exporting with DHTML, your Medi@Show file will closely resemble an executable file but the modes (manual or automatic) will depend on your Play Settings. Some special effects will be unavailable (text and transition) along with the background music. Your export will include one HTML file, JavaScript file (.JS), and the same number of multimedia files that you have in their original form. You will likely be prompted with this dialog box:

If you wish to replace, drag-down menus are provided for Text or Transition Effects. If not, just click OK. The next prompt is for picking a theme:

Your completed DHTML export in manual mode with Netscape Navigator using the Sky theme will look like this:

While playing the Medi@Show DHTML file, click on the Next and Prev icon—located below the slides—to advance or go back. In automatic mode, these icons will be obsolete.

Note:	Some .bmp images will be unavailable for Netscape Navigator. Go and get the plug-in.

HTML

Exporting here will lose all special effects and only keep still images. Your export of HTML files will depend on the number of slides in your file. For example, 9 slides will equal 9 HTML files. Shown below using the Summer theme, it will also have the ability to go Next and Prev.

Web Streaming Publication

If you chose the Internet Streaming Format and the Include Web materials option during exporting, you are now ready for the last step in publishing your slide show (with all the effects intact) on your personal web page in streaming format. You may either Work with HTML Directly or with Web Page Editing Software.

Working with HTML Directly

1.	Open your Medi@Show HTML template file (assumes the same name as the corresponding .FLZ file created during export) with any web page editor or software to access the source code (for e.g. Microsoft Notepad).

2.	Simply copy this entire section:

<!-- Use this segment of code in your page -->

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"

src="SelBrowser.js"></SCRIPT>

<!-- For Microsoft Internet Explorer -->

<OBJECT ID="SequenceCtl" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240

CLASSID="CLSID:5DBF08EF-4BDE-11D3-B8E4-0080C84E9C66"

CODEBASE="MediaShow.cab#Version=1,0,0,1">

<PARAM  NAME="File" VALUE="SAMPLE2.FLZ">

<!-- For Netscape Navigator-->

<EMBED  SRC="SAMPLE2.FLZ"

PLUGINURL="MediaShow.jar" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240>

</OBJECT>

<!-- End -->

How it looks when using Notepad:

3.	Now paste this onto your web page's HTML file where you would like your Medi@Show slide show.

4.	Adjust width and height if current settings are inappropriate:

WIDTH=320	HEIGHT=240

5.	Save this file.

Note:	For first-time users when playing your Medi@Show file using Internet Explorer, it will be automatically enabled in your browser. For Netscape users, a prompt to obtain the plug-in will appear. Click on Get Plug-in. Then, select Grant when prompted for accepting the CyberLink certificate.

Working With Web Page Editing Software (Dreamweaver 2.0)

For Netscape Navigator:

After opening your web page file or site in Dreamweaver:

1.	Choose Insert from the tool bar and select Plug-in.

2.	Select your Medi@Show .FLZ plug-in file (shown below). Dreamweaver will then ask to copy it into your web page directory. Click Yes.

3.	Enlarge and alter your inserted .FLZ file by clicking on the image and dragging the corners.

4.	Now, go to the Selection Properties' tool bar (appears when Plug-in is highlighted) and click on the Plg URL folder icon or type in the HTML file directly. It should located in the same directory as your .FLZ file.

Note:	The Src just above the aforementioned slot should automatically display the correct .FLZ file that you just inserted. If not, insert it manually.

5.	In Dreamweaver, press F12 (depending on settings and if Netscape is set as the default browser) to view your web page with Netscape Navigator.

6.	Your Medi@Show is now enabled and can be viewed on your web page.

For first-time users, refer to the previous section on getting the plug-in and obtaining the CyberLink certificate.

For the Internet Explorer:

Please follow the above instructions from #1-3 first when inserting ActiveX (instead of Plug-in) and copying the .FLZ file into the web page directory.

1.	After inserting, go to the Selection Properties' tool bar and fill in ClassID:

clsid:5DBF08EF-4BDE-11D3B8E4-0080C84E9C66

2.	Type in or browse for the Src, which should be the .FLZ file.

3.	For Parameters, you will have to manually call up Mediashow.HTM with Internet Explorer, and then check the Source located under View. In most cases, the Parameter will be simply file, and the Value the name of your .FLZ file as shown below:

4.	Press F12 (depending on your settings) to view your file using Internet Explorer.

5.	Your Medi@Show is now enabled and can be viewed on your web page.

Web Server Configuration

Make sure that your web server is configured to serve JAR files with the MIME type application/java-archive and FLZ files (Medi@Show's proprietary file) with MIME type application/x-MediaShow.
