Logoviewer Probs on XP

ManofScience · 15-01-2009, 12:14 PM

ok, i'm resizing my .JPG to 720-576, reducing to 256 colours and saving as a .BMP - then loading into logoviewer, saving 'no' to black frame around it but it's just a blank black image - any ideas what i'm doing wrong

i'm using Paint Shop Pro

i've got the LCD one sorted - this is for the boot screen

Never had any probs with logo viewer, i just let logo viewer do the conversion and upload to box, although you dont get full screen its ok for me, i use it to put a pic of one of the kids when they were young, always good for a laugh when they come round and i reboot box lol.

Yes m8 it does, only really tried jpg format though but works fine.

Derek

You can get it full screen if you click no to black border, never tried it before lol.

i use TMPGEnc to convert to .m1v file using the following template

MPEG-1 720x576 25fps CBR 12000kbps

then upload using logoviewer

they are full screen

cheers

MOS- once you have the preview piccy in the Logoviewer logo-fb window, you ARE saving it 'as' filename_logo-fb aren't you?

The file will then be saved to your chosen folder as filename_logo-fb.mvi

You then remove the .mvi extension and txfr it to dbox as logo-fb

And you don't need to resize the source image nor convert it to .bmp nor drop the colors to 256 either- Logoviewer handles all this for you.

To finish up with a plain black boot logo suggests you're doing summat wrong regarding transparency settings back in PSP.

Cheers- AL
