Soft, Disproportional images when burned to DVD

[craighopkins@earthlink.net]

Ok - I'm new to this program - but when I made my first DVD for TV display - the images are soft and disproportionally squeezed! The images in the slide show creation and preview are perfect - but are terrible when burned to DVD. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Craig,

Have you checked the quality of your images when the DVD is played on a TV? I think this should be the first step before messing about with PTE settings.

It sounds like perhaps you are using PAL when you need NTSC or vice versa. Look under Project Options in Video Builder and be sure you have the correct setting for your area.

Best regards,
