Thanks Nigel. When I couldn't find it I thought going mad.
But that was what I was looking for.

Hi Guys
Sorted out the zooming issue but still cutting off the left side of photo.
I have a standard TV so burnt a disc on standard Pal 4:3
When I was was putting in my image motions it kept telling me warning your selection is smaller than the output dimensions and will reduce the display quality.
So my questions are

Should I burn standard or higher ?

DVD or DVD & PC format ? ( I only want to play back on TV )

What % JPEG ?

In other settings it says not to go smaller than 1920 X 1152 for frame size and quality, so what is the recommended ?

As I said earlier I'm very new at all this, so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Tradon

I'm not sure about the missing left side of the photo. Does it happen even if you disable motion effects? None of the options you mention should affect it.


> Selection is Smaller than the output dimensions

If you get this message you should almost always increase the size of your selection so that PixPlay does not need to enlarge the size of your image (which is a image quality no-no).


> Standard or Higher

Standard, unless you encounter some problem (sound or image quality related, not cropping)


> DVD or DVD + PC

If it is only for TV playback then DVD


> JPEG % Quality

The default or higher (there is little reason to change this)
