Digital Frames

drm_23 · 10-10-2008, 09:20 AM

Is it possible to have a version that will run on a digital Photo Frame.
Most will support Video files i.e. avi or mpg. Perhaps a looped video??

Thanks for your consideration

It's conceivable, if the frame had enough RAM for a long video loop. The DVD version of the Aquarium is just a video-capture of the program running on a Mac, and it wouldn't be too hard to do the same thing with MA3. Loops tend to get pretty boring, though.

Where did you find a frame that runs video? I received two for Christmas last and I love them and to be able to have video would be great.

The Frame that I have uses SD cards so I have a 2 GB card in there. Internal ram is 256mb.

If I purchase the DVD am I allowed to rip it and convert it to AVI ? And, or is the Video available for download in AVI format already.

Thank you for your Quick Response

Though I have no problem with you ripping the DVD, I'm not sure if you can still find one (they weren't a big seller). Also, that's the old version - the new one is in far greater resolution.
