Blurry pictures

[Guest]

I'm hopping that this is just a small problem...I import my jpeg photos and
then begin to make a movie. Everything looks fine until I'm watching the
slide show in the full screen mode. The photos look blurry. Does anyone know
how I can fix this?

=============================
Are you simply viewing the project in
Movie Maker or did you actually save
the movie file and watch it elsewhere?

And BTW, there are several choices
of how to save your movie file. Read
the following:

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next / Next.
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

I guess you used MovieMaker since this is a forum on that subject. However if
you only have photos and are planning to make a slideshow with them, then I
would say that PhotoStory (also a fine piece of freeware from Microsoft) is a
better choice.
It has some extra features (pan, zoom) and most important: the codec used in
PhotoStory is better adapted for still photos !
But if you are planning to try it out: stay away from the standard DVD
profiles at the end. All the others are OK, but as reported previously in
this forum and many others, these are going to give you a rather blurry
end-result. If the others are for some reason not suitable you can download
extra profiles from the PapaJohn website and place them in the appropriate
"/1033" map.
