Stills on TV

[Ray Heath]

G'day all

I burnt a large number of 10Mp images to a DVD then viewed them via a DVD player on an 80cm flat screen TV, the quality is terrible.

Am I doing something wrong?

I think resolution would be more important then pixel count. My understanding is that most HDTV's have a resolution of 1920x1080. If your images are not this resolution or a corresponding ratio of this resolution. I imagine that your DVD/TV combination may be scaling them to fit. If you are using a standard DVD player and not a Blu-Ray then the resolution is even lower, 704x480 (or possibly 640x480).

You might resize your images to the corresponding resolution that is available with your DVD player and TV combo, and see if you get better results.

I used to supply a lot of images(artwork) & video for Monitor display and always gave appropriately sized images, I'd always check first or give 2 or 3 options.

As Joel says you can't rely on the DVD/TV rescaling.
