[MacDV] Re: iDVD Menus

[Mark M. Florida]

This probably has more to do with fine detail in an image flickering on and
off as the fields are drawn.  Any graphic with details that are only 1 pixel
tall will flicker as the field where that pixel "lives" is redrawn.  The
best way to fix this is to do a 1 pixel vertical motion blur in Photoshop,
or if you don't have Photoshop, you can resize the image to 360 pixels tall
and then back up to 480.  This will reduce detail as well, but shouldn't be
noticeable on a TV -- it should look better since it won't flicker any more.
