Re: correct specs for title JPEGs

I'd like to create some titles from "scratch" with text
and images, and import the still image files into
MovieMaker. Looking for advice to create the sharpest
image... 1) format (JPEG?)
2) size (pixel height and width; this will be in 4:3
aspect ratio) 3) resolution
4) color format (RGB?)

Thanks for any help!
===================================

FWIW, the add-on title images that are
available from MS are 100 DPI JPEGs
720x540 Pixels.

And, maybe the following free downloads would be useful:

Download the Windows Movie Maker 2 Creativity Fun Pack
http://tinyurl.com/4jopp
This download includes titles, credits and sounds that may be imported like
any other image, video or audio file into Movie Maker from the following location: C:\Documents and Settings\
username<\My Documents\My Videos\
Creativity Fun Packs\

To import...open Movie Maker and go to...File / Import into collections and browse to the Creativity Fun Packs folder.

When Movie Maker 2 Creativity Fun Pack is installed, a file is placed in the following location that contains some information
C:\Documents and Settings\
username<\My Documents\
Creativity_Pack_ReadMe.htm

Windows Movie Maker 2 Winter Fun Pack 2003
http://tinyurl.com/lt8xd
(this site provides instructions)

I think this installs a couple of new transitions and there are images, sounds and videos that can be imported from the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\
username<\My Documents\My Videos\
Windows XP Fun Pack\Winter 2003

Also...there's a ReadME file in
the following location:
C:\Program Files\Windows XP Fun Pack\Winter 2003\Windows XP Winter Fun Packs 2003.htm
