With FlipAlbum 5 Suite/Professional, you can choose to export more than 1 album to the same CD. Before you start exporting your albums to the CD, you must first ensure that your albums are created and saved on your hard drive. Do save your albums as Book, complete (*.opf file + contents) to ensure that all your files are kept in the necessary folders.
When you are ready to export your albums to the CD, just click on CD Maker -> Create Album CD from FlipAlbum 5 main menu, and follow through the CD export process. You can set CD options like auto-flip interval, CD security* and encryption* options during this process. Should you need more information on the CD export process, you can refer to our online help by clicking Help -> Contents from the FlipAlbum 5 main menu and refer to Section 7.8. Alternatively, you can check it out from your User Manual Section 7.8.
Once you have completed the CD export process from within FlipAlbum 5, we will strongly suggest that you preview your albums. Your albums are displayed on a bookshelf, and this bookshelf is customizable. You can have up to 60** albums per bookshelf, 10 albums per row up to 6 rows. Once you are satisfied with all the albums that you have exported, and the way they are arranged on the bookshelf, you can choose to close the FlipAlbum 5 windows, and move on to burning your albums to the CD using your CD burning software and CD-RW drive.
You may wish to note the files/folders that you have to burn to your CDs as listed below. They are located in the folder you have created earlier (e.g., C:\AlbumCD). You can also locate the directory name by clicking the Burn CD icon from within FlipAlbum 5 CD export window.
At any time you encounter an issue with viewing the albums on the CD, first run startCD.exe from your hard drive and check that all of your albums appear correctly. If the albums and the bookshelves appear correctly, the issue will most likely lie with incorrect files being burn to the CDs, incorrect use of the CD burning software, or incompatibility of the CD burning software and/or CD-RW drive/media.
We have included some tips on the use of some of the CD burning software for your information:
| 1. | Burn the CD as a DATA CD. |
| 2. | Make sure you have selected ISO 9660 Level 2 (Max of 31 chars), Joliet, and Relax ISO restrictions for pathdepth and characters in path. |
| 3. | 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!). |
| 4. | The CD that you are burning should not be set to “Multisession” |
**Please note that you can only see all 6 rows if your desktop screen resolution is set to 1280x1024 pixels. For 1024x768 pixel screen resolution setting, you will only get to see 5 rows with 10 albums per row, giving a maximum of 50 albums per bookshelf.
