Recommended hardware specs:

• Intel Pentium4 (1.7GHz) or higher
• 512M memory or higher
• Mouse wheel
• Multi-core or hyper-threading CPU is recommended as Maple slideshow builder can take advantage of multi-threading to process image/lyric/mp3.
• If your hardware is lower than the recommended specs, you should keep the size of slideshow bellow 480x360.

Free Hard Disk Space:

• 30MB for cache files
• 2GB for video creation (optional)

Restrictions:

• Mp3 files larger than 10M bytes should be avoided.
• Due to the memory limitation, do not add extremely large photos (e.g. 4000x3000) into the slideshow. If you had to, you should use maple.jar and launch it with the following command: "java -Xmx512M -jar maple.jar"
