Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.? I set the burn on the highest quality. The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.? I set the burn on the highest quality. The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v. They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer. I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

iMac, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

OS 8.6 or earlier? Surely not!

What version of OS X are you running, and what version of iLife?

Hi

DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.

This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.

That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.

Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.

If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)

I use

• iMovie HD6 or

• FinalCut (any version) or

• FotoMagico™

As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.
