[MacDV] Scanning Slides - DPI resolutions?

[Ronald Woodland]

Printing on an inkjet requires 200-300 dpi at the size you want the 
picture to be ...you do the math.

Video is 72 dpi.  If you want to do the Ken Burns effect stuff, panning 
is still 72 dpi at whatever size the image needs to be for panning 
across it.  However, for zooming, you will need more resolution.  The 
highest zoom factor still needs to be at 72 dpi.  If you don't have 
enough resolution during the zoom, the image will go soft and perhaps 
even pixelized.

When will men who would never for a moment encourage their own sons to
enter the work of the public schools cease to tell us that education is 
the
greatest and noblest of all human callings?"  - William C. Bagley
