When I create a multiple slideshow, DVDPixplay creates individual
.mpeg files for each show, and a VIDEO_TS folder containing several
files. The total number of bytes is about the same in both forms. I have burnt the VIDEO_TS folder as instructed to a DVD+RW video disc, and it works as expected in a couple of different DVD players,
and in player software in my PC, e.g. Windows Media Player or
Samsung AVStation.

However, if I read the .mpeg files which DVDPixplay leaves behind, using the same player software on my PC, the picture quality is noticeably better, and certainly to be preferred. Will common domestic DVD players read these files directly, and can I put
several of them onto one disc in a form that a DVD player would
recognise, so as to recreate a multiple slideshow? Do I need an autorun file, and what can I generate it with?

I am using Nero for burning, so could produce an ordinary data disc rather than a video disc, but I guess most DVD players would not
accept this and give me a choice between files.

I do not (yet) have a dvd player myself, and can try things out only using machines belonging to relatives who live a long way away.

Hi Elirub1

Thanks for your feedback.

That option is only available when creating PC format slideshows.

Hello
When Burning there is an option ( > Burn Disk >next >slide show Settings > Other Settings > Frame size and Quality )
There you can determine the resolutin and there is an option: "Also Reduce large images to that size."
if this is checked and you have larger files than the limit specified, you might see a difference.

Hi,
Use DVD-R for much more reliability in DVD players.
Will play in 99percent of players.

Hi

That would be unusual as the source MPEG files do not undergo any further conversion when they are converted to a DVD format disk files (i.e. the VIDEO_TS content).

More likely is that the software you are using to view the files is struggling with the DVD format.

You should confirm this by testing in another player.
