I am trying to create my own DVD menu background using EMC9. Every time I try to add a photograph, the resulting image on the menu is much blurrier than the original image, regardless of which format I choose (e.g., jpg, bmp, png). Obviously, I'd like the clearest image possible, even though it will play on a regular TV. Is there a trick to getting the background photos crisp? Thanks

Don't go by the preview. It is a low resolution preview so video can be previewed in real time without full rendering.

I would have to agree what you see in your preview is completely different to what will show up on the computer or more were all show up on the TV Michelle

If you have a player that will handle them, you can try RW discs. I use them all the time since I usually find something later that I'd like to change.

Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
