[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1318434, member: 8287"] I am sort of shocked more have not replied to your message. This is most of the issue. A DVD is standard definition video. That means 640×480 That is all a DVD player is capable of showing. It is standard definition TV. Even if you have a HD television, the DVD player can only show you 640×480, because that’s all DVDs are. But when you look on your Mac, you are seeing it in a much higher resolution. Perhaps your monitor is 1280×1024, for instance. That’s much greater than 640×480. So it's mostly the DVD format itself and the players that play DVD's are limiting the resolution. With todays cameras, the resolution is way more than 640x480, so the slideshow will look just as good as it can with the lower Resolution. Some on some forums are blaming iDVD, but I have seen the exact same issue in Windows. In other words the pics have more resolution than a DVD player can show. I tried to help someone with Windows and this issue and ran into this. Plugged in their laptop to the TV and the slideshow was sharp. [/QUOTE]
