This is from Russel Brooks he figured out how to do it without using anything,"only" webtv.
If you create the picture in an email, and mail
it to yourself, and save it in your scrapbook, it
will end up titled something like mailedD0_jpg or
mailedD1_jpg, depending on how many images you
already saved to your scrapbook from mail.
If you go to your scrapbook and create the picture there with CAPTURE
, it will be titled something like
postedD0_jpg or postedD1_jpg, depending on how
many images you've already captured in this way.
It will also be much smaller. If you use a
Transcriber such as
http://www.webscissors.com
to take a picture off a web page and save it in your scrapbook, it will be titled something like importD0_jpg or importD1_jpg, depending on how many images you've already transcribed to your scrapbook. This is background info, but important to know. After the image is saved in your scrapbook by one
of these three methods,
it still doesn't yet have a URL. It's just a file
on a hard drive at webtv
central. To give it a bonified URL to transload
it from, first you create a page with your
pagebuilder. Name the page whatever you want. If
you leave the title blank, webtv will name it
"doc", for document. Your choice of background
for the page is unimportant. Any will do. For
this example, we'll name the page "images". The
URL for the page we've created is now
http://community-1.webtv.net/RDBrooks/images The
page has nothing on it yet, but that will be the
URL of the page.
Next, you choose ADD AN ITEM. Now choose PICTURE.
Next choose FROM SCRAPBOOK. Pick the picture you
want to transload. If you click the VIEW PICTURE
link now, you will see the full size image and
the name of it at the bottom.
If you had recieved the image by mail, and it is
the only image you
recieved by mail in your scrapbook, it will be
titled mailedD0_jpg. We'll use this as an
example. After viewing the picture, (you don't
have to view it if you don't want to) go back to
the screen you came from. Now click on DONE,
unless you want to name the image and/or write a
caption first. This is unnecessary if you don't
want to.
The image is now an item on our page. It still
doesn't have a URL, however. There's one more
thing you have to do. You have to PUBLISH the
page.
Now it has a URL. What is it? The page it's
on is at
http://community-1.webtv.net/RDBrooks/images> .
The image comes from your scrapbook files. The
name of the image in your scrapbook is
mailedD0_jpg.
So the URL of the image would be
http://community-1.webtv.net/RDBrooks/images/scra
pbookfiles/mailedD0_jpg
right?
Wrong.
You have to make a couple of adjustments to the
URL. The "f" in "scrapbookfiles" MUST be
caitalized. (srapbookFiles) Also the "_" in
"mailedD0_jpg" MUST be changed to a ".".
(mailedD0.jpg) That would make the URL for the
published image
http://community-1.webtv.net/RDBrooks/images/scra
pbookFiles/mailedD0.jpg
Of course, these URLs shown above don't work.
There is no page at my pagebuilder site titled
"images". This is just an example. Your image
will have your username in the URL instead of
mine, and will have the name that was given to
your image by your scrapbook at the end of the
URL, instead of the example used. (If it still
ends up being "mailedD0.jpg", it's purely a
coincidence.) This is the URL you transload it
from.
You may have to read over this several times,
before you can remember all of it. Practicing it
several times will probably help.
If at first you don't get it right, read over
this again, then
retry.
Eventually, it will make sense, if it
doesn't already. I spent about eight hours one
night figuring it out. I didn't have directions
this good, though.
If you want to do a video capture and save it
directly to your tripod or whatever account, you
can go to Starblvd's Camloader. It can be linked
from the bottom of Starblvd's Transloader page.
It will make a jpg image larger than a capture
done in your scrapbook, but smaller than one done
with the PHOTO link in your email.
Don't use
The link in pagebuilder where you can capture an
image directly onto a page you are building. If
you do, the image will not be in your scrapbook,
so it won't have a URL to link to. If you've
already made this mistake, you can still salvage
it by using webscissors.com to copy it to your
scrapbook. Then you can put the image from your
scrapbook on a page and publish it.
Good luck.
Later.
This is something I just found that will make it even easier to find your jpg or gif.
