Writing DVD

[Barry Beckham]

I am having a little trouble with what looks like a Moire effect on some of the images when a PTE DVD is written. So much so that it spoils the sequence and almost looks like part of the image is jumping.

I don't recal having this problem with earlier versions of PTE and I have not tried DVD writing for a while.

Any ideas please

Sorry, I can't help you with this as my DVD burner is still on order.

However, perhaps if you post the same message on the "How to create video" forum someone there may be able to help.

I think I have found my own solution to this problem. It looked to me as though the slides at 1024*768 where being stretched too far to fit the wide screen TV I have. I thought that perhaps there were not enough pixels for this stretching so I did a test with a few slides at something like 1200-1300 pixels on the long side and they project nicely on DVD.

Now, unless I am mistaken my PC will handle those file sizes without a problem and once they are written to DVD they should run a treat on a domestic DVD player.

My one doubt is the file size of the slide show as it ends up on the DVD. I need to get about an hours worth of slide shows on a DVD, but using a number of short sequences.

If I cannot do that the cunning plan I have may fall flat on its face.
