We have just released MemoriesOnTV 3.1.3. The bigger fixes have to do with (WARNING: Geek-talk ahead!) threading issues, which cause video generation to crash or hang under certain circumstances. It also contain minor fixes and enhancements, such as better EXIF handling, and localization support for transition and picture effects. In simpler words: get the update! :)

MemoriesOnTV 3.1.2 is released. This release fixes a couple of bugs, one of which causes the program to crash when the Disc Menu is activated at a certain resolution. Again, thanks to you, our users, for notifying us of problems encountered, and for helping us to track down the bugs!

In part 1 of this tutorial, we looked at the basics of using ClipShows to build up a slideshow. To recap, we have created a slideshow from 2 ClipShow-generated segments: the first being a 5-slide sequence presented as a filmstrip, and the second, a 4-slide sequence of pictures floating across a screen being held up by 2 hands. In this part, we will look at some advanced usages and customization to see how we can tweak and add on to the slideshow segments that the ClipShows have helped us create.

We have been making good progress on getting MemoriesOnTV 3.1 to run on Windows Vista. So far, it is running well on the latest Vista release, RC 1, or “Release Candidate 1″. Users who are living on the bleeding edge of technology, and are running Windows Vista RC1, do give MemoriesOnTV 3.1 a spin on your setup, and let us know of any problems/errors encountered. Thanks!

ClipShows are a great way to create an interesting slideshow. You can use them as a quick jumpstart to lay the groundwork for your slideshow, upon which you can tweak and build up an elaborate presentation. In the part 1 of this tutorial, we show the basics of using ClipShows. We will be creating a short slideshow from scratch with the help of ClipShows.

We occassionally receive video clips from our users. We have just setup a YouTube account so that we can share some of the interesting ones (with the authors’ permissions of course) with other people.

For the inaugural video clip, we have this dig at Creative’s patent from “AAPLLvr”. Check it out here.

Yeah, we know, we are from the same country as Creative. Oh, we are trying to digg this as well (dugg!). :)

As you can see, we have finally setup a REAL blogging package (we have chosen WordPress). This allows us to organize and manage our postings easily, without having to manually update every sidebar links like the old days :)

As the postings are grouped into categories, it makes it easier for users to locate and browse the tutorials and announcements without having to comb through all the other unrelated ones. Hope you guys like it!

We have released MemoriesOnTV Version 3.1.1. Thanks to all our users who have helped us flushed out the bad bugs that came with the new 3.1. Some of these were nasty, in particular one that caused huge memory leakages leading to crashes during video generation. For more details, refer to the change log. Once again, thanks everyone!
