I'm happy the album is work now. May be the problems were caused by your video card. Check the requirements here - handle_url_tag('http://pho.to/album3D/download.php')

We'll think of an idea to save albums in .avi format

Hello JakeArlen!

Can you give us a link on an errol web 3D album, please?

We will check the problem and try to fix.

As for screen capturing - you can use any screen recording software to get avi. For example, Camtasia Studio.

Hello!

You can't add sound effects to a web 3D gallery, but you can make the background color Black by changing it in "Album options". Log in and then click "Album Options" under the album preview. Then change background color and save. Take the embed code to put 3D gallery on your site. You can also change tha album size.

Ok, but you can upload it on your web site (may be a blog, if you have access to file manager on this blog). But actually usually you can't upload your own files on a blog. You can use different free hostings or site creating services.
