I'm using MYDVD 8 Premier, and have just made a slideshow with transitions, music, etc. in Videowave, which I want to turn into a DVD "movie". I have output the project as an MPEG II - dvd quality file, but when I watch it back I notice distortion / flashing / "noise" at the top of every still image. Any ideas? Also, when I try to output the video, in the settings (resolution, bit-rate, format, etc.) I'll make changes and click "okay", but the changes don't seem to stick. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Is that inside or outside the TV safe zone? Use MyDVD to output that production to an ISO file. Watch the ISO file in disc copier. The previews may be distorted because your computer can't keep up with the simultaneous rendering (at low quality) and viewing at the same time. Since you already have the file as a mpg2 for DVD best quality, it should not take a lot of time.

If you post your computer specs in your signature; perhaps there will be other suggestions. Ar you rendering in hardware or software mode?
