Subject: titles on digital photos
Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 18:57:40 +0200Hi,
In order to get files to sort correctly on a computerized system
(pc,dvd,etc) you must make sure that all numbers are padded with zeros. For
example: 01,02,03...10,11... The number of zeros must add up to the maximum
number of digits in the filename, for example: 0001,0002 ...
0101,0102...1000,1001...
In Flash Renamer there is a "zero padding" function to help you with this.
If you stick to this rule, then your files should sort correctly everywhere.
If they don't then your dvd-player might be "strange" or it might be set to
play files in eg random order. In this case you must setup your dvd-player
correctly.
It is good to know that Windows Explorer (XP/Vista) can sort file correctly
even if the filename are not zero padded. So even if they look allright in
Windows, they might not on your dvd.
