Hello, can you please tell me what resolution Pixplay outputs the image and image+DVD slideshows at, and are JPEG files reduced in resolution or size when added to Pixplay for image and image+DVD shows?

The resolution of your images for the "+Images" part of DVD+Images Format (Or for the image only format) is configurable. By default, DVD PixPlay does not modify your images for that format at all, however if you click the "Other Settings" button on step 2 of the Burn Slideshow Wizard you can set a maximum size.

Under "Frame size and quality" check the "Also reduce large images to this size" Then if you have any images that are very large they will be resized. This is good if you are running out of space on disk, or just want your image slideshow to run a bit faster.

As Jim suggested, you should set this value to at least the size of most screens, plus another 50% if you are using image motion effects.

You generally do not need to concern yourself with the resolution of your input images.

DVD PixPlay converts your images into a video (because naturally that is the most compatible option with DVD players). Even DVD format video is only a maximum of 720 x 576 pixels, so generally all digital images will easily exceed these video output size.

If you are using DVD PixPlay to create a disk for DVD players, then the jpeg does not need to be very large. So as long as your image is larger than DVD format and you save at 80-90% quality it will be fine.

If you are creating disk for playback in other computers using the "Image Format" option in DVD PixPlay, then generally you want your images to be at least as big as your screen (i.e. a minimum 1024x768 pixels).
