I have EM Creater 8. I have used both Microsoft Movie maker and VideoWave (at different times) to create the sliows. When I burn the slide show to a DVD and Play it on my computer or my TV I get distortions in parsts of the piture. Other parts are crystle clear. The distortions show up on straight lines is the picture. The lines becom jagged and apperar to move. I have tried changing the size of the slides and the PPI. The problem makes for a very poor quality video to view. Any ideas??

This can show up with still images with straight lines and it is a function of the TV format. That's why certain shirt patterns are not used by TV people like newscasters. Simply apply a slight blur to the image to get rid of it. You can do it on Photosuite or any other photo editing software. In Photosuite, choose special effects, smart blur 1 and set the slider to the minimum. Unfortunately, you cannot do this directly from VideoWave. In most cases, the image will automatically update to the new one if you give it the same name but to be safe, delete the image from the slide show and then add it back in in the same place. Clear your proxy files also, again just in case. VideoWave>Tools>Options> Clear Proxy. -- the files will immediately (almost) be rebuilt.

What are the Properties of the source files?

Quality of the source must be equal to or greater than the output quality or it will look poor on screen. You cannot overcome a poor source.

I believe that the quality of the source is very good. The pictures were taken with a 5 megapixel camra. I i pay the JPEG images on the TV they look great.
