1. Introduction
1.1 Welcome To FlipAlbum Vista
Thank you and congratulations on choosing FlipAlbum Vista. FlipAlbum Vista opens the door to a
whole new way of organizing, viewing and sharing digital images and multimedia files. Now you can
spend more time enjoying your FlipBooks* rather than struggling with the software. FlipAlbum Vista
combines profound sophistication with simplicity. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to use FlipAlbum
Vista, allowing you to be more productive than ever.
FlipAlbum Vista allows users to instantly create a digital photo album or catalog with our 3D PageFlipping interface. This version is Windows Vista LOGO certified and users can now install FlipAlbum
Vista on their Windows Vista Operating System. Users of FlipAlbum 3.1, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x will be
happy to note that their old albums can be opened and edited in FlipAlbum Vista.
Users can now also publish and share their FlipBooks with friends via the Internet. These online FlipBooks
can be viewed using the free FlipViewer.
* FlipBooks are books that have the extension .OPF. FlipBooks are created when you save your photo
albums that you have created. In this user guide, the terms FlipBooks, albums and books may be used
interchangeably.
1.2 Introduction
Have you ever wished there was an easier way to obtain a good overview of your image and multimedia
files in a folder, but have not been satisfied with what is currently available? Have you also wished you
can export your images and multimedia files onto a CD and distribute them? If so, welcome to
FlipAlbum Vista!
FlipAlbum Vista is a novel album creator and image editor that allow the user to view and edit images
resident in a folder by automatically creating a virtual photo album. The photo album created works like a
real one, with pages that can be flipped and with page thickness on each side corresponding to the
number of pages in the album. The album, or FlipBook created allows the user to browse through his
images, bookmark them, and perform various commands such as copy, move and edit between different
albums in a convenient manner. FlipAlbum Vista therefore provides a most intuitive way to organize
and view through your image collections in a book form, a feature not commonly found in other image
viewing software.
FlipAlbum Vista automatically creates a FlipBook out of each directory, and two FlipBooks can be
created under two separate windows for easy viewing and manipulation. In other words, the user can
open more than one FlipBook for viewing at any given time. The ability to view image files in both folders
simultaneously greatly facilitates the moving or copying of files between different directories.
With FlipAlbum Vista Suite, you can export your completed albums onto CDs and share them with your
family and friends.
With FlipAlbum Vista Pro, you can also export your completed albums onto CDs, add security features
to the CDs and distribute them for commercial purposes.

4.3 Flipping through Your Book

The new multi-page rapid flipping user interface allows you to flip multiple pages at varying speeds,
depending on a number of factors such as how fast you click your mouse, on which portion of the page
you click, and of course your CPU speed and other hardware resources. You can also pick up pages (or
hold pages) of your book, just like you would pick up or hold a page of a real book. In addition, while you
hold a page, you can move that page left or right to compare it with other pages, or pick up more pages
of your book.
To start flipping a book:
Left click anywhere on the page when the mouse cursor changes to
. A single click will cause one page
to be flipped. Further clicks will do 1 of 2 things depending on where the click is and which direction the
pages are flipping.
Case 1: Pages flipping from right to left
a. Clicks on the pages on the right will cause more pages to flip.
b. When pages are flipping, a click on any page on the left splits the flipping pages where the mouse
cursor is.
Case 2: Pages flipping from left to right
a. Clicks on the pages on the left will cause more pages to flip.
b. When pages are flipping, a click on any page on the right splits the flipping pages where the mouse
cursor is.
Splitting means all pages to the left of the mouse click will flip in the direction from right to left and all
pages right of the mouse click will flip in the direction from left to right, in effect opening up the pages of
the book.
Note: You may see blank pages when you first flip multi-pages of your book. This is because the pages
are not loaded yet. Simply let the pages settle and they will load. This phenomenon is dependent on
your system resources. You can also set the amount of memory space for image buffering under
Options->More Options->Advanced.

Flipping Speed:
The flipping speed is dependent on where the click is, i.e., the position of the mouse cursor vertically.
The flipping speed is at its slowest when you click at the bottom of the page (minimum setting in options)
and is at its fastest when you click the book at the top of the page (maximum setting in options). Clicking
elsewhere on the page will give a speed somewhere between these two settings, with the speed varying
gradually from slowest to fastest from the bottom to the top of the page.
To Hold A Page:
When you move your mouse cursor over the lower left/right bottom corners of the book, your mouse
cursor will change to a page-holding cursor
, meaning that a click will enter the hold mode. The
page that enters the hold mode will stick to your mouse cursor so that you can move it left and right to
look at other pages.
With your page held by your mouse cursor, a further left click will pick up a page that is on the opposite
side of the book relative to where your mouse cursor is. Further left clicks will pick up more pages from
the opposite side.
To Release A Page:
50
If you are holding only one page, right clicking will release the page (it will flip to the opposite side of the
book). If you are holding multiple pages, right clicking will release one page at a time (to the opposite
side of the book).
To release all pages that are held (i.e. to get out of hold mode), simply move your mouse cursor to
anywhere outside the book (edge of your monitor screen) and you will return to normal flipping mode.

1. Launch your CD writing software.
2. Navigate to the folder that stores the exported MPEG files (eg C:\Album VCD) and copy all the
MPEG files onto the CDR. Ensure you select the Video CD format. For MPEG-2 files, you may
want to select the Super Video CD or DVD format.
Note: Users should take note that the quality of the Video CD albums and viewable on TV will not be as
good as the albums created on FlipAlbum CD viewable on the PC. In order to achieve optimum quality
for the Video CD albums that you create, you may want to design your albums with the following points
in mind.
1. Do not have too many annotations. Text does not look good in the video format.
2. If you do insert annotations, try to avoid fonts with straight edges. Large font sizes are also
encouraged, like point size 28 and above for normal-sized fonts.
3. Try to choose a darker page and book background. This will minimize the flickering effect that
may occur on some TVs.
4. Size of your pictures does matter. Whenever possible, use the centerfold mode for your pictures
so that they will occupy as much of the screen as possible.

To assist you in understanding the process of burning the MPEG file to the CDR in the Video CD format,

9.1 FlipAlbum supports these file formats:
Images (GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP, WMF, ICO, PCX, TIF, PCD, PSD)
Open Electronic Book Package Format (OPF)
Sound Files (MP3, MID, WAV, WMA)
Video Files (WMV, AVI, MPG, WMV)
There is another file extension that needs some explanation. It is the .flp format. This is a proprietary file
format of E-Book Systems. You would probably see this file extension at the Overview, Contents and
index pages whenever you make any changes to each page of the album, like adding annotation or
repositioning etc.

If desired, you can also click the Add Info To Page button to add the EXIF information onto the page

9.3 OPF Information
When you create a book or save current web pages as a book, the book is saved with an OPF extension,
for example, myflipbook.opf. The extension OPF stands for Open electronic book Package Format. This
file contains information that represents the structure of the book that you have just saved. Technically,
the book structure is described using XML.
Essentially, the OPF file contains references to the other files that make up the pages in your book. These
other files may be one or more of the file formats supported by FlipAlbum Vista.
The OPF file also contains information that describes attributes of the book, such as the book's
appearance.
Since OPF files contain information written in XML, anyone who is conversant with XML may use a text
editor to modify the OPF files, and/or create OPF files.
