Hi,
I am really having a difficult time. I may not even use the terminology correctly but I hope I can get some assistance. Ok, I made a photo story on photo story 3 that I downloaded, but when I tryed to make a copy it would not show on my home DVD player. Now it will show on my computer. i don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I am sooooooooo, frustrated. Can anyone help me?
A Photo Story file is playable only by Photo Story.
To create a DVD, you must continue through Photo Story to the page
that allows you to create a .wmv "movie" using Window Media Player,
selecting a profile suitable for DVD or better (see below).
Then you must use another program to convert the .wmv file into a
form (MPEG-2) suitable for burning a DVD. Photo Story does not have
this capability natively.
You will need DVD authoring software that almost certainly came with
your computer or DVD burner to do this conversion and burn to DVD.
(I've added some comments to earlier quoted messages below.)

Your experience matches with mine too. I think there is something wrong with the DVD profiles.
See the comparison here:
Computer profile: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/rehanahmad/Test1_640x480.wmv
DVD Profile: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/rehanahmad/Test1_dvdntsc.wmv
The loss of quality with dvd profile remains even when converted to MPEG2 and burned on DVD. Previosuly some people had argued that the softness in dvd version is intentional and it somehow it would look better on a tv. I cannot see how that can be the case.
The NTSC profile filters the images to remove high frequency components
that can cause color aliasing in (especially older) NTSC monitors.
Modern NTSC monitors have no need of this filtering, which reduces the
resolution of the picture.
It is unfortunate that Photo Story does not provide an explicit option
for this filtering. The only way I have found to defeat it is to use
a higher resolution rendering format, like 1024x768, as input to the
DVD authoring application.

I have burned a video cd using both the Computer 4 profile(1024x768) and the
profile for VIDEO CD (NTSC).
Oddly enough the Profile suggested for playback on computer (#4) renders and
plays back on the DVD Player through my TV with higher clarity and less audio
distortion?
While the Profile for Computer Playback #4 is decent - it is not really
crisp (like looking at the original photos)
I use NERO and the process is fairly straighforward - I select option to
burn a video cd in NERO - so the source files from PS3 are the only things
that aare different - as the burn process in NERO is only one choice.
Is there some other profile I should test?
No, you have discovered the appropriate fix for the DVD resolution
problem (at least until Microsoft decides to make the NTSC filtering
optional).
