| I have the latest version of DVD Pixplay. I just returned from a vacation in Montana and Wyoming and took many great digital photos. So, I tried to put them on a Pixplay DVD slideshow. The result is horrible - the detail in the pictures is downgraded to what I'd expect on a VCR tape. I am viewing the slideshow using a Blu-ray DVD player and an HDTV, so the output equipment is up to snuff. What do you think could cause this when the original photos are from a Canon 5 megapixel camera and the burner is one of HP's latest models? Thanks. |

Points to Remember:
1. Any DVD player can be hooked up to an HDTV. Although upscaling DVD players are better able to match the native pixel resolution of an HDTV, you will still get good results on a standard DVD player that is connected via an HDTV's provided Component or S-Video inputs.
2. If you DO have an HDTV, and a standard DVD player, you will get the best results using the Component video connection (red-blue-green) between the DVD player and the HDTV. In addition, if your DVD player is progressive scan capable, always use that option when connected to a progressive scan capable television.
3. DVD video upscaling is only an approximation of the high definition viewing experience. To get the full impact of true high definition viewing from a disc format, you need to have either a Blu-ray or HD-DVD player connected to an HDTV via an HDMI connection and be viewing actual Blu-ray or HD-DVD disc content.
At some point it is likely that DVD PixPlay will output a high definition version of your slideshow that will allow you to take advantage of the full resolution of your HDTV. However, at this point, because there are not enough HD compatible players about, it is not a high priority item for XEQUTE.
In their testing the DVD format slideshows continues to look good on an HD compatible player with HDTV, particularly when upscaling is enabled.

Hi Lyndon
Also which format did you choose when you burned the slideshow?
For DVD player playback DVD format is best. If you choose a format such as VCD, it will only be equivalent to VCR quality.
