FN-FORUM: Dvd photo slideshow creator (preferably os x 10.2 but can use windows)

date posted 8th January 2007 17:38

Hello

I am having a bad day

I am using os x 10.2 and have been asked to create a dvd from some images
that I have retouched, not a problem I thought, and was given a suitably
small budget for a seemingly simple task

Has anyone got a sucessful way of doing this - no matter what I do it
doesn=B9t work exac tly how I want

Firstly I resized all my images to 576x720 sRGB profile which I assume is
good for PAL work, and then tried several methods,

1. I thought of idvd - but it will not work on my system

2. I tried imovie - but the quality was terrible

3. I tried dvd studio pro - decent quality - perhaps the images are too
sharp as there is a certain amount of flicker which is sorted out by
blurring the troublesome areas

4. I have now resorted to trying products on the pc - I tried one called dv=
d
studio slideshow (www.dvd-photo-slideshow.com/) - but the images come out
really soft=20

5. I am just going to try pinnacle studio

So if anyone can help me or has sucessfully done this - can they recoomend =
a
product - it is a series of catwalk images, id it common for detailed areas
to create a 'flicker' problem, at the moment I am thinking that I will appl=
y
a small blur to all images and send it to the client - who complains that i=
t
is flickering on their system - however it plays fine on mine

Argggggh
