thanks for the help. i got my pics up on mine today.

is it necessary to use nero to burn the disc? or will i just be able to click burn disc on the top of the folder task bar? i tried using without nero which doesnt work but wondeing if it's still really necessary to do so. also, for those using vista, should i be formatting it under "live" or "mastered" ?

is the screen resolution not 480x234....shouldn't the pics be that size? 500x240 must be cropping a few lines of pixels off

i followed the instructions and d/l Infranview but when I try to re-size the picture to 500X240, I put in 500 for width and height automatically adjusts to 375, and when I put in 240 in height it automatically adjusts width to 320... what am I doing wrong? Help!!

I'm having the same prob.

^^^ It's keeping the aspect ratio so your pictures don't look stretched. The D3 is widescreen and your pictures are all standard 4:3 format. You need to crop some off the top and bottom.

I'm having mixed results. The pre-sized pics I get off here all work great. But the others, I use Irfanview to shrink them to 500x240 or whatever it is.... and the D3 just makes them real small centered on the display. Any ideas?

EDIT: I figured out what the problem was. The picture must be EXACTLY 500x240. Not a single pixel bigger. I was trimming and cropping the hell out of some pictures....and well.... and figured 500x243 would be close enough. Figured it would just cut some of it off or something....nope. It automatically shrinks them down to fit everything on the screen, but it shrinks way to much to be acceptable. So for anyone having this problem, ensure that your pictures are EXACT!

Anyone ever use personal pics as a background? From the reading all pics should be 500x240 but my digital camera want set that low. Thanks in advance for any help

How many pictures can you hold on the D3? Also can you have them in a slide show or change every time?

Another question as well. It appears that my D3 has white lines that go through the screen when I would think it would be just black. Any idea why that might be? Is it just how the default is? It appears that the rest of the display looks fine (movies, map, ect.)

Thanks,

Dan

I better just keep my mouth shut....

Weird (or maybe not). In XP I can just burn the folder to a disc and it's fine. In Vista, no-go. Don't feel like messing with Nero, so I'll just keep doing this at work.

For the folks using pshop make sure you do NOT have the 'constrain proportions' box ticked as it will always change the width when height is changed and vice versa.

p

for the folks that still cant get the pictures loaded,

make sure you dont get excited once you pop in the cd and mix up the last few steps.

step 17 is IMPORTANT (do not go to import data directly)

make sure to go to first BACKGROUND PICTURE SETTING and so on

17.)Then touch "Background Picture Setting"

18.)Touch(Splash Screen,Navigation Background,AV background)

19.)Click "import from CD"

20.)Locate file and then touch "Center"

21.Touch "done" and you are finished!!!!!

cheers

im gonna have to try this thanks

I understand the file resolution and the file format.. is there a limit to file size?

what i did was put the entire folder "PICTURES" on the cd and the photos from that folder aswell.

And it worked.

and i found this i though it might help

i like it

http://gui.picresize.com/picresize2/

So just a general question.

These are the screen that can be changes?

Bootup. - Screen that shows for just a few seconds...

Then it goes into

Background Screen..

Is that the only ones that can be changed?

Thanks,

-Nigel

does it matter if it is a cd-r or dvd-r?

Ok I am having a problem with this. The pictures that I get from here show fine and work fine. The pictures that Imade with Photoshop are not apeearing in the list of pictures once I putthe cd in the d3 and Of course are not working because I can not see them. The pics are named with only letters the size is under 20KB and the file is a non progressive. The size is 500 X 240.

Thank you in advanced for your help

Worked prefert!

thanks

I just wanted to report that I got it to work. The reason why I was not seeing the files was because I was burning the cd the wrong way. I used Roxio that has a function to drag and burn. If you use that feature you are not able to see the files you have to create a data cd and then it will work just fine.

Just installed the D3 over the weekend and was able to upload images just fine. First try.

Hint: Instructions on how to do it are spelled out very clearly in the Users Manual... But who really reads the user manual anymore...

i ran into a few problems while doing this... i found out that the vertical and horizontal resolution dpi has to be somewhat low. i put 3 jps on a CD and only 2 of them worked. i kept getting disk error on the 3rd one. the dpi on the 3rd one was around 400. as soon as i lowered the dpi in photoshop the 3rd one worked perfect
