Thanks for your comment on my problem. Maybe part of my problem is that I made the slideshow in Photo story with lots of zooms and pans, so there actually is lots of movement. Still seems a shame.

I don’t currently have a DVD burner, but would that solve my problems of poor quality?

Could I still create the movie from slideshow in photostory and WMM and then burn it straight to a DVD? Do you burn an avi file to a DVD or would I have to convert it to MPEG first? I’m new at this and need help obviously.

I can’t stand that I put hours and hours to create this 20 minute movie (which we love), but can’t burn it to watch on the DVD player satisfactonily, you know? Thanks for any advice. Ladybu

Motion or a rapidly changing picture is the toughest encoding challenge
for MPEG codecs. Better encoding rates and or technologies (like MPEG2)
will help here.

The lowest quality DVD is still many times better than a standard VCD.

I suggest looking over the dvdr.help site for some tutorials on
authoring;

if you want to watch on a DVD player, burning on a DVD is the way to go.
I messed around with VCDs formats for a couple of months before going
DVD. VCDs just pale in comparison to what one can do with DVDs. And yes
many hours are spent on this hobby, too many...
 
thanks again ahhnold - will really look into just getting a dVD burner. Life is too short....Ladybug
