Re: Blurry pictures and texts on the storyboard and avi file

John,

I think I was wrong about resolution.
The original picture's size is 2137x1592, but horizontal and vertical
resolution are 300.
Do you think this is the reason that the picutures are blurry?

Hi John,

Thank you for your quick response.

My original pictures' resoution is high (It is close to 2000).
I resized them because I have to create DVD (for TV screen, NTSC).

I read other threads regarding the low quality of still images in DV-AVI
format.
I need to create DVD; that is why I am choosing DV-AVI format.
I need to insert both video and stil images to create DVD, so photostory
does not seem to work.

Is there any better way to create DVD without losing the quality of pictures?

Thank you for your help,

I imported my pictures to the collection pane. When I look at them
using the viewer, they look sharp and no blurriness.
However, when I drag the pictures to storyboard and play the video,
they are blurry.
================================
This is expected because the files are played
in a lower resolution from the timeline/storyboard.
This does not affect the saved files.
================================
I also created dv-avi file, and the quality of pictures are as bad as
the ones that I saw on storyboard.

Could someone explain how I can fix this problem?
The size of pictures are 720x540 and 640x480.
I saved the pictures with BMP.

Thank you,

If those are the original sizes of your pictures,
you have a low resolution camera or you don't
have it on the best setting. This may be why
your movie is not what you expected. Using
higher resolution images may be worth a try.

Maybe your answer would be to save as
..wmv and use a custom profile. have a look
at the following articles:
