• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

My wife has been working on a photo slideshow DVD. It works great and everything plays smoothly on the computer, but after she burns it to DVD there are 3 photos that do this blurry shifting thing. It's very noticeable and not very attractive.

She is using an Intel iMac, latest updates. She takes it from iMovie to iDVD. It doesn't have the problem when previewing in iDVD. We have tried burning it straight to DVD and also burning it to a disc image, then to DVD. Same problem in multiple DVD players as well. There are 110 photos in the movie and only 3 of those photos do the weird blur thing. They are sequential as well - 3 photos in a row. Very odd. Any ideas?

Curious, are the pictures in question in portrait or landscape? Also, are you using Ken Burns?
I did the same thing and 1 picture that was portrait w/ Ken Burns on gave me a shimmery "moving" effect on a window behind the subject.
I wonder if Ken Burns is causing the effect. Try it with out if you are using it.
