iDVD '08 (#5): Slide show quality, transition issues
Slide shows look bad when burned to DVD.
Slide show quality, transition issues MacFixIt reader Pete Kunasz laments the quality of exported DVD slide shows under iDVD '08:
"When using iDVD to create a slide show, the slide show, no matter if created from iPhoto and then imported into iDVD, or created in iDVD from images in iPhoto ( using Professional Quality setting), will look great when viewed on the computer monitor. But if you burn the slideshow onto a DVD, then watch it on screen with Apple's DVD Player, it looks terrible. I brought this to Apple Support and they were unable to offer any advice as to why this is so."
Meanwhile, some users are reporting problems with transitions between slideshows. A reader writes:
"In a DVD with four small slideshows, the slide-to-slide transitions are not rendered. Instead, 'green screen' is inserted between the photographs upon playback. This occurs whether the DVD is actually burned, or just when a disk image is made. This is a less-than-2GB DVD, and the G4 machine had 1 GB of RAM, 27 GB of free disk."
