I create 5 slideshow within one project. When I preview the slideshow it looks great, when I burn it to DVD and view it on my TV all of the photos are stretched taller. Each slideshow was created with 16:9 setting and the DVD is being burnt at a 16:9 setting.

What I'm I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ramjet

Sounds like a setting in the DVD player. Make sure it is set to letterbox if you don't have a widescreen TV.  If you do have a widrescreen TV, the DVD player should  be set to widescreen.

I have a LCD screen which is set to 16:9. i'll try setting it to letter-box and report back. Thanks, Ramjet

LCD 'screen'?  Computer monitor or a LCD TV?  If you have a LCD TV, then make sure the DVD PLAYER is set to 'widescreen'.  When you turn on the DVD Player, press the menu or settings button to get to that.

It's a LCD TV. When I switched to letter-box the slide show pictures are correct. When I switch back to wide screen everybody gets tall and skinny. Thanks, Roger
