[DVD - Poor Quality]

The reason for this is that you are reducing the 1024x768 images to 720x576 (or 720x480) to make the DVD and then upscaling them to the resolution of your TV.

Worse case scenario:

From 1024x768 down to 720x576 and back up to 1080 high.

It's inevitable!

If you connect your PC/laptop to your TV and play the Preview or EXE then the downscaling does not occur.

Should I then not reduce to 1024 x 768, and if so what would you suggest

[DVD - Poor Quality]

My wife complains that my p2e projects appear better on the PC than on the TV.

My original images are set to 1024px x 768px @ 72px per inch.

Am I missing something or is the difference inevitable

[Sound]

On version 4 it was possible to add a sound effect to a single slide, but I cannot find this facility on version 5.5.

Am I missing something or is it no longer available

[Create AVI]

Am I missing something when creating an AVI. For the first time I want to create an AVI video file that I can copy to my laptop and not burn to disk

The 5.0 manual states on page 75 "When the AVI file is completed, the following pop-up will offer a choice of running the file or not".

All I get is instruction on burning to disk - I have not selected any disc at the first stage, just "Create custom AVI video file is selected".
