Hello again,
Please do take the advice to use 800 x 600. The author of that message
(PAPAJOHN) is wrong. The standard output for a 4:3 TV screen is 720 x 576.
If you use 800 x 600 your image will stile be placed at 720 x 576 but
because there is no longer a mapping direct to the screen you will end up
with pixels (worst possible case) where 3 pixels are used to display just 2.
It is that error that WILL cause you a problem.
720 x 576 is the STANDARD format for DVD output, and if its good enough
for that it is certainly better than using PAPAJOHNS advice of using 800 x
600.
I have gone to the trouble of pointing this out to him in the past, he
has trouble taking advice, what's all the more surprising is he claims to
create DVD's himself, if that were so he would surely see that the output
required is 720 x 576. The size 720 x 576 is also the output size from a DV
camera!!!
No doubt I will have to point this out again, so worry not.
Best Wishes.....John Kelly
