I am creating DVDs for church campers to take home each week. This is the 3rd week and I have been going in and just changing some of the pictures, leaving the rest and saving as the new week. This week some of the dissolve transitions are more choppy. Also they tried to play it at one of the churches on a computer (only 2 years old) and it played but as if in slow motion and of course the music was not right. We are supposed to send one to be shown at a meeting tomorrow and I want to be sure they don't have that problem there. The very same DVD that was slow at church played perfectly on the dvd player and tv at the camp.
Please help! Thanks!
Terri

If it's [playing perfectly on a standalone DVD player/TV, I'd suspect the computer is at fault - it mightn't be able to stream the data fast enough to the monitor.
Get them to check the settings on it - make sure it's set to UDMA and not PIO and also make sure that there is nothing running in the background that could make it slow down (do a spyware sweep using Spybot S&D or Lavasoft's Adaware which are both free for personal use)

If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

I thought it was the computer as well but they thought the file size of the pics were too big. I would not think that would be a factor with it in DVD format.
Any ideas on why my dissolve transitions are getting choppy? Am I going to have to start over each week?
Thanks
Terri

Still images are turned into video even if you checked the option to 'archive the photos'.
Choppiness can be caused by a fragmented hard drive. HD can get fragmented quickly when you are working with video regularly. Defrag each time before you start a render.
