Follow up question... I authored in VideoWave for AVCHD with 60i because that was the setting on my video camera. I made one AVCHD project in MyDVD, created an ISO and then burned to DVD+R. It played decently on my Blu-Ray player (although not as clear picture as when playing directly from original files on my computer), but not readable at all on my laptop, DVD player, or brand new XBOX One with Blu-ray. I made another project with both videos and a slideshow. The slideshow was created with VideoWave in 4:3 ratio because that is the ratio of my images (using 16:9 made the photos look absolutely ridiculous). The slideshow was pretty blurry, but I proceeded to authoring, assuming the final product would be sharper than the previews. It would not allow me to author for AVCHD at all, so I did DVD with NTSC/30i. Made an AVCHD production in MyDVD with videos and slideshow, and while the slideshow was still a little blurry, it was still in 4:3 on the preview. I made an ISO, burned to disc, and tried it in my BluRay player. First the menu was all crazy and none of the buttons lined up like they were on the computer, but I managed to get to the slideshow. It looked HORRIBLE! It had stretched to 16:9 and...wow...really bad. So, what am I missing?? On NXT2, I just plopped the pictures in, burned, and had GORGEOUS slideshow DVDs that played on anything. We are completely stumped because the final product looks nothing like the preview, and none of it is as clear as the original material. Prior to this, I tried making a "DVD" project and the slideshow was blurry, but at least in 4:3. Please tell me if I am making a mistake somewhere. I'm no tech expert, but I'm pretty intelligent and have been making these movies and slideshows for over a decade, so what has changed that I am not doing right? I've literally spent days of my life working with NXT6 because I don't want to have to learn a completely new system, but if I can't get quality products that will play...I'll have to find something more reliable
