DVD's and Panoramas

[norrie]

I have just created a AV using PTE v 5.1 . The AV, with quite long panoramas (4000*768px), runs very well on my computer. However when I create a DVD and play it back on my TV the panoramas are automatically resized so that the whole image appears on the screen at very much reduced height. All the other images (1024*768px) appear normally. (I accept the black edges down the sides). I have checked with the "TV safe zone" marker and all the images fit height wise into this, including the panoramas. What am I doing wrong ?

Nobeefstu,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Does this mean that when you want to record a PTE AV one should use the "window mode" rather than "full screen" mode ?

Norrie,

For DVD it is recommended to use in O&A | Common tab ... Cover Slide mode for your pano object. Make Mpeg2 file instead of DVD burn to first verify results.

Thanks for the tip about saving as an MPEG2 file before burning a DVD. If I had known, it would have saved me quite a few wasted DVDs !!

Hi Norrie,

Buy some rewritable DVD's and use them until you have the wrinkles ironed out. Don't waste regular DVD's on experiments.

Best regards,
