Slideshow Photo Quality

[EJN]

In Nov I created a slideshow using VideoWave (2009) and the output was wonderful. I am now trying to create another slideshow using the same photos as the 11/08 version, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to match the quality. I've tried saving MPEG for DVD, AVI, etc., and nothing comes close. The November *.wmv slideshow was 1280 X 720. I need to be able to play this within Windows Media Player.

 

It's sad when I use the slideshow feature so infrequently, and can't remember what I did when I got it right!

 

Thanks,

Perhaps you mis-remembered. The program does not have an output to a WMV file to that resolution. Did you use Video Wave or a Slide Show Assistant?

Thanks for the reply. I have literally spent all day, and certainly if I used the Slideshow Assistant there is no way to create a 1280 X 720 wmv output. Today I've trying using VideoWave and every trick I can think of to recreate a nice high quality slideshow. My Nov slideshow has the same smartsound musical background, so I doubt I used another program.

 

I even went back into EMC 10 to see if I had used that, but unless I missed something, I think the output options are the same.

 

So, how in the world did I do it? CRAFT - can't remember a flippin' thing!!!!!

 

Thanks,

Sorry, i made a mistake. First one - believe it ?

 

In Video Wave select Wide Screen and then select output to video file then all then you have the HD options.

As they say here in Memphis, "thank ya, thank ya verrrry much ...." (Think Elvis, break into song)

 

This is a great forum, and I really appreciate your help. I suspect I would have spent the next several days and never have discovered the answer. You are indeed, THE Guru!

 

Thanks,

Dateline Memphis: Digital Guru, just wanted you to know that it worked like a charm! Had to remind myself to set it as "widescreen" prior to going to VideoWave, but once I did that, selecting WMV 9 1280 X 720 was a snap.

 

Thanks so much.
