Slide show works now but poor video

[Guest]

Thanx to Papa Johns posts I figured out how to make a slide show work from my
DVD player. First I used the TPMG encoder to make an Mpeg 1 then I used the
CDEasy software link I found on Johns web site. I was thrilled that it worked
but the pics during the slide show are very poor quality. I use a 3.1 mp dig
cam and the pics were taken on the lowest resolution setting. Could the low
resolution setting be the reason for the poor quality? I can increase the
resolution but then I only get about 20 pictures. It only has an 8 meg CF
card and it only supports up to a 32 mg. Should I get a new camera that
supports more memory and use it on the high resolution setting?
Or......should I save the movie file as an DV-AVI file and then make an Mpeg
2 and then use the CDEasy softwware? Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions
but this is my first day working with MM2 and I have alot of questions but
I'll save them for another day. Thanx Papa John !!

Thanks Budman,

MPEG-1 files are for VCDs, which is the lowest of the quality levels for
discs... a lot less in pixel dimensions than a picture from a 3 megapixel
camera..

Maybe you'll need to explore SVCD and DVD to get the higher quality level.
