Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Mike Purdy for Expert Village and we're creating a video business card with CDMenuPro. Now here's a step that you can't forget is especially if your going to put this onto a small CD you want to make sure that your total number of files does not exceed in this case the 3" CD 210 mega bites. That's all the room you'll have is 210 mega bites so what you'll need to do is select the files that are actually going to be burnt to CD we'll have the CD icon, we'll have the CD start which is the little program that we just completed. And if you have any doubts over what folder or files your going to need do this, create a new folder and drag all the files that you think your going to need into that new folder. You'll need the CD icon, we'll need the CD start and then go to that folder and open it up and see what it does now if it doesn't play your background music that means you have to drag the background music into it. If it won't play your video when you click on video which it won't this case you need to drag your video into it. So what you'll do in this new folder is you will drag everything that needs to play into this folder and an easier way to see it is go to view, details and it will give you a list. Here's the sound folder you'll need the sound folder to play the sound CDMenuPro puts all the sound in a sound folder, we're going to have our videos that we have created our quick time movie. Now that quick time movie is pretty big by itself and this window media file that's pretty big to, now you see we have three gigs. We're in trouble that means your going to have to do is something has to go we got a not put that quick time video on or make it really really small. So what I'm going to do right now is I'm just going to eliminate it I'm going to cut it down over here and put it back and so that it's not in the new folder. Well it's still 17 mega bites how much space do we have, we have 210 mega bites so thats okay we're okay 17 mega bites. So here's a good way to test and see if your exceeding that 210 mega bites that's all you can get on a pocket CD if your putting it on a bigger CD then you have a whole lot more room. So everything in the new folder is going to be burn to your new CD."
