one, of many problems, is due to the fact that DVD is compressed and you
are watching it from a projector...

If you try to watch a DVD on a large screen, pixelization occurs = not a
good idea...

If you want to view your "movie" using a projector, try to play it from
tape, first choice would be DV CAM, then miniDV, then D8, then VHS tape...

try it for yourself...

and let me know if you see a difference...


An acquaintance put together a video presentation using drum-scanned
artwork (FCP & DVDSP) and tried to watch it from the DVD using a
"state-of-the-art" LCD projector and it looked crappy...

but when played from DV CAM tape, looked specatcular on a very large
screen...
