Output type

 

· Burn on CD/DVD: (This is only possible on Windows XP. Further, you have to have installed a CD-Burner. The Ashampoo Photo Commander 10 currently can only use your default CD-Burner (if you have more than one installed)). If enabled, the Ashampoo Photo Commander 10 will create a CD-ROM containing all selected files, adds an autorun.inf file to enable the automatic startup of the presentation and additionally copies the Ashampoo Photo Commander 10 executable (apc.exe) which is required for playing the presentation.

 

· Copy to Directory: Use this if you don’t want to create a CD-ROM or are running Windows 2000 but have a CD-Burner installed. All created/copied data/files will be stored in the specified directory. Enable the option Copy files to output directory (relative paths) to make the presentation/slideshow location independent.

 

· If the option Create Autorun.inf is enabled, such a file will be created, giving you the possibility to burn all data in the output directory to a CD too, but using your favored CD-Burning software application.
