Minimum Photo Dimensions for DVD SHow

Posted: 12-31-2008, 12:47 PM
Hello everybody!

I´m having a bit of a problem in knowing what would be the minimal
photograph dimensions for a dvd show, for the picture to appear in a
reasonable resolution.

Would 400 x 300 x 72 dpi work nice?

Thanks!

==============================
400x300 is a very low resolution photo.

What version of Windows are you running
and what software are you planning to use
to create the DVD Slide Show?

If you describe exactly what you are trying
to accomplish and the problems you have
encountered...you will have a better chance
of finding a solution.

If you are using Movie Maker or Photo Story...

It´s not professional looking DVD Slide Show...

What I intend to do is just put the images on CD, insert the CD into the DVD
and walkthrough the pictures on my TV screen.

I want to know if that resolution would appear ok on a TV screen.

BTW, the software I used is Photoshop CS. I know that is a small resolutions
and dimensions. But this slideshow isn´t intended for printing. Just for
watching on the TV, so I cutted off some othe pictures resolution.

The other problem is that I have these pictures already treated in this
format (400 x 300 x 72 DPI) and do not have the time to treat the originals
again to a bigger format (ex: 800 x 600). But I know that for "on screen"
viewing purposes, 72 DPI will do fine.

I just want to know if 400 x 300 will appear stretched on screen, wich is
what I wouldn´t aprecciate.

Yes I did.

I´m using Windows XP and am not using any DVD slide show software. I´m just
putting the pictures on a CD and looking them on my DVD player, wich has the
ability to read JPEG images.

=======================================
In that case there is no reason to resize the pictures.
Just burn them on the CD full size for best resolution.

If the pictures are the wrong aspect ratio for your TV
screen...IOW...If you have a wide screen TV 16:9
and 4:3 size pictures you will see black bands at the
edges...if you want to correct this...you will have to
Crop the pictures to the same aspect ratio as your
TV Screen. I can post a how to for that if you need it.
