[MacDV] Using DVDSPro's Slideshow feature - Blech!

[Brett Conlon/HU/AU/SonyDADC]

Hiya,

This is the second time I've noticed something weird happening with 
DVDSPro's slideshow feature. I'm currently running v4.

I've set the transitions to dissolve. When viewing the slideshow on TV, in 
the final burn, the photo transitions between shots seem quite clear and 
crisp but the still photos seem very low resolution and pixilated.

For example, with a person's smiling face, during the fade in, the eyes 
are visibly open but when the still photo settles in, the eyes might look 
closed due to the pixels "blocking" together in the eye area. When the 
transition begins to change over to the next photo the eyes look open 
again before it fades out.

Anyone else seen this?

Am I better off building my slideshows elsewhere and bringing a .mov file 
into DVDSPro for the final project?

What pixel size should the photos be? I'm creating a 16:9 disc but I've 
been setting up the slideshows as 4:3 (seeing that the photos are already 
that proportion). Should the photos be resized using Photoshop to 
720X576pix?

Thanks for your assistance.

Cheers,

Cojcolds
