F150 Duke Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hey Guys, I searched but couldn't find all the info I need. I'm getting some pictures formatted to install on the Z1. I made "Pictures" file on the CD and a dummy data file with 100+mb of dummy data, no songs. The pictures are .jpg. I can't get it to be the size you guys said is correct to fill the entire screen, 2592x1305. Everytime I go to change the size in Microsoft Picture Manager, it puts it at 2592x1944. Any advice here?

Guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Um...stupid question, but where can I get 100mb of dummy data? What is considered "dummy data"? I dont want to put anything on a disc that will mess up the Z1 hard drive. I actually sized all my pictures using Windows Paint. Paint Image Stretch/Scew By lowering the stretch percentages it shrunk my photos. Wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. :?: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I use photoshop for this kind of stuff, but you can also get free programs like: [url=http://www.irfanview.com/]http://www.irfanview.com/[/url] or [url=http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/]http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/[/url] I got my dummy file by finding about 100 gigs of data in a folder and making a zip file from them. Or you can do something like this: [url=http://www.mynikko.com/dummy/]http://www.mynikko.com/dummy/[/url] [url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/NOD32-Dummy-File-Creator.shtml]http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/ ... ator.shtml[/url] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I tried burning it without and it wouldn't read the disk. Someone here posted that it was not needed to I burned the first disk without. It didn't read. This was in Nero with the correct settings. I went back to Nero (it was still open) I added a dummy file (like it said in the instruction manual) and it worked. Not saying you did not got it to work without one. But I am just saying I needed one. Maybe the brand and quality of the CD makes a difference. It's possible I changed some other setting in Nero before I burned the second one. I can't really remember. But it doesn't really hurt anything to put one in there. Some times it makes a difference, I don't know why, but some things it does (bioses for hacked xboxes, game cubes, etc...)
