=====================================
I guess you are using PhotoStory 3?
Try a different profile...you can find the
choices on the "Save Your Story" screen by clicking the "Settings" button.

Also, the following article may offer some ideas:

And bear in mind that VCD is a low-resolution format. DVD is much
better, but still substantially worse than most computer monitors.
