DVD Architect Picture Compliations
I’m going to add a picture compilation (slideshow) to a DVD I’m creating. What resolution should I create the images at? 640 X 480? 720 X 480 (.9 PAR?) Any help is appreciate. Thanks!

In scaling stills, Vegas likes 655 x 480 png. However if you plan to do a lot of pan/crop and track motion, higher res and larger photos are better.
For example I am completing a DVD that has video and still photos with pan/crop. I used the original camera photos of 1798 x 1199 @ 300dpi and checked the “reduce Interlace flicker” box on the timeline. This way I could zoom right in close.
It was probably overkill but it worked great for me. I use either PNG or photoshop PSD only on the timeline.

Hi Marc,
I use 720 x 480 jpeg even though png is recommended. You shouldn’t go over 1440 x 1080. All my photo montages are in jpeg and they work find in Vegas. I’m going to use the higher resolu
tion next time to see if there’s a diiference. When I tried to change jpeg over to png, it takes to long for the computer to convert over to png, especially when your dealing with over 100 images.Good Luck!

Thanks Ralph.
I think another responder thought I was talking about using still images as part of a video project — I was referring to picture compilations on a DVD. I would imagine that a resolution over 720 X 480 wouldn’t help you at all because that’s as high as the DVD would be able to display on a normal NTSC television. Do you use square pixels or .9?
Thanks again!

Hi Marc,
Try .9 and see what you get.
