Keep the ideas flowing

Hi,

I have finally burnt a pretty good svcd & dvd to use to show some members of my family (without computers) my picture show.

I have now found if I burn an SVCD or DVD without the transitions in the show it burns fine. If I leave the transitions in (and I have only used the fade in fade out) the quality of the show is bad. I get a lot of movement on the screen and the quality of the slides is poor. It appears as I say to be the transitions causing my problem............

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Glenys,

Yesterday I burnt a SVCD of the latest show of mine in connection with Ulead Moviemaker 3.0. I did not make any alterations in transitions. When I played it on my tv with my DVD-player I was not disappointed of the quality it showed. The only thing I noticed was that the pictures now fitted the screen instead of the 95% which it had been set originally within pte. In the images who were extra landscape sized there was some flikkering at the bottom of the picture.(100HZ- TV)

I did this for the first time because I was somewhat sceptical about the quality of an image on TV, but it's quite acceptable. Maybe with some tweaking it even could become better.

Hi Glenys

Most of the SDVD creation software will switch to 352x240 resolution

when you have transitions in your show. Personally I don't use

any transitions in my TV shows. A regular TV shows onlly 300 lines of

resolution and even on SVHS only approx 400-500, no where near

what a Computer does. The only T V I have seen that will look as

good as the computer is the Sony. They have a few models with

1000 lines of res specifically for their digital camera.

Some of Igors's effects don't look to bad on the TV. Best to use

a CDRW and create a show and try the different effects to see which

ones look the best for you. Even at DVD quality of 704x5?? you are

still only using 300 lines of res on a regular TV. I usually create

a XSVCD which is 704x5?? and there really isn't all that much difference

between that and a regualar SVCD at 480x480.

I think, at this time we need to develop two different stratagies for our

shows. One for the pooter and one for the TV.

Hope this helps you out.
