John,
Thanks for the input and patience on this one. I've been struggling with it
for a while.
Let's say I just want to make a PS3 movie out of my 7MP still pictures, and
as you said, place it into my DVD Authoring software for burning. Forget WMM
for now. What setting would you use for the best final quality when placed in
a DVD player for viewing on your TV. I have tried saving it in "Profile for
computers - 4 (1024x768)" but the loss is quality is pretty noticeable. And
yes I always save them and view them in Windows Media Player to see the
quality.
When would I use the "SlideShow-1024x768WMV9" profile in WMM?

1) I did not tell you to use any specific profile..
I simply stated what works for me. And once
again....I was referring to Movie Maker *not *
PhotoStory 3.
2) When you import a high quality file into Movie
Maker and View it full screen it shows a reduced
quality version. Viewing the completed file in
Windows Media Player after saving will show
the actual quality.
3) PhotoStory 3 .wmv files do not have to be
imported into Movie Maker just for the purpose
of converting to DV-AVI. They can be imported
into your DVD Authoring software just as they
are.

I've written before and have learned a lot of things since visiting================================
your website and talking to you in the past month. I still have a
pressing issue with the loss of still picture quality when I save a
project in PS3 and then view it in Windows Media Player. My goal is
to take the stills from my 7MP camera and put a story together, save
it with a desired setting. Then send it to WMM to be put together
with my existing movie of video clips etc. I have already concluded
that I will save it with the DV-AVI setting.
Below is the reply I received on the XP forum which has helped me out
enormously.
Personally, I've had
good results using the following .wmv profile. SlideShow-1024x768WMV9
Download from the following site... Movie Maker 2 - Saving Movies -
Custom WMV Profiles http://tinyurl.com/s2vgu Right click / Save
as...drop it in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Movie
Maker\Shared\Profiles folder
As you can see, I was told to use the "SlideShow" Custom Profile. It
will show up in the WMM settings when placed in the "profile" folder
but will not show up in the PS3 settings when I place it into folder
1033 of PS3. Was I supposed to get this custom profile to work in
PS3? John Inzer talks about putting the custom profile into Movie
Maker folder, so how does that work for PS3. I'm confused.
I guess my final question is, what setting(where can I download it
from if not already and option in PS3 settings) do I use to get the
highest quality of my PS3 project. I not doing anything too fancy.
Just putting still pictures together to music. If I can get it to
look good when I watch it on Windows Media Player, that would be a
start. Ultimetaly it will end up in WMM to be put into a movie in AVI
format for eventual road to DVD.
Thanks so much.
This was explained in my last reply
to you. And I posted a link to an article

The profile you are referring to:
"SlideShow-1024x768WMV9"
is for Movie Maker...it does not
work in PhotoStory.
Have you tried using the existing:
"Profile for computers - 4 (1024x768)
profile in PhotoStory 3?
