DVD menu becomes blurry when viewed on a computer screen, help!?

When I create a DVD menu in "DVD PRO" it looks great until the DVD is burned and I try to play it on my Mac, then I notice while it is at full monitor screen size the background image becomes very blurry, when I put it at 100% the screen is very tiny, is there a way to make the screen larger or make the background image more clear when it is blown to that screen size? Any info you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

I'm reading your post again . . . more carefully (sorry!). When you see with DVD Player at 100% , do you see your menus fine?
Playing at 100 your seeing at the original graphic files size: 720x480 (I guess you are working NTSC). Depending on your monitor resolution, you probably are stretching more than twice when looking at full screen.
Did you tried playing the DVD in a player on TV?
You can get here some advices about how to het better menu quality but must post some information about how you built them first.

  • Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered?

    Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

    I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
    You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
    DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
    There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…

    http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
    You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
    Some things to consider…
    DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
    Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
    You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
    It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
    Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
    I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
    You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
    See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
    http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
    Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
    I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video

  • I am using using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.

    I am using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer, the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting that controls the quality of the burn and if there is, where do I find it?  Thank you.

    The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

    In Dreamweaver 6, I created a new fluid layout. I set up (4) DIVs. In the 3rd div, I changed the font color. The new color shows up on the website when viewed in my computer desktop, but, when viewed in a tablet and a cell phone, the color of the font does not change. It's the same in Dreamweaver's Live view. It shows the new color on Desktop view and not in the cell phone or tablet view. Also, I changed the font itself in one of the DIVs and it shows up in the new font on the desktop view and website viewed thru the computer, but, not on the tablet or cell phone. Can someone please explain. I want to be able to change the fonts and colors for viewing in the tablet and cell phone, also. The fonts were all standard fonts. Sans-erif and Verdana and Arial were tried. Thanks.

    I will lock this discussion because of duplicate post.

  • Screen goes to sleep even when viewing movies in full screen mode

    Hi, I have adjusted my settings so my screen goes to sleep after 5 minutes which is ok. But it also does this when viewing movies in full screen mode.... Is this a setting somewhere? Thanx!

    Welcome to the Discussions!
    "When the computer is inactive" or "idle" means when YOU, the user, are doing nothing, neither using the keyboard nor the mouse. So you have to increase that 5 mins in Energy Saver.

  • Hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!

  • Menu positioning problem when viewing in Internet explorer on a pc

    Hi guys,
    I have created a website for a football team and I am having problems with the menu. It looks fine in all browsers apart from Internet Explorer. The menu positioning is meant to be on the left hand side but shows far right on the screen when viewed in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

    Hopefully someone can help.
    Cheers,

    Hummm....its difficult to tell. Youre using so many redundant css styles ie not needed.
    Youre 'leftPan' <div> container is 140px in width but your ul (unordered list inside it is 244px wide?
    Why set widths and heights when they are not needed. You have no idea what height the ul and li will be in other users browsers. A child element placed inside a parent container will stretch to the full width without specifying a width for the child element. The key to web deisgn is keeping all the maths 100% correct. If you so much as get anything out by even one px it could break the design.
    #leftPan{
         margin-left: 90px;
         width: 140px;
    #leftPan ul{
         width:244px;
         height:250px;
         background-position: 0 0;
         padding-top: 0px;
         padding-right: 0;
         padding-bottom: 0;
         padding-left: 0;
         margin-top: 1px;
         text-decoration: none;
    I see no reason why your based structure ie the 'container', 'header', 'mainpic', sidebar1 and 'mainContent' should not work in all browsers. Now what you have inside those may be casuing the conflict. I would strip the page back to the base structure (check that it does work in all browsers) then begin to fill the containers, checking as you go.

  • Upgraded to 10.3.1 - photos appear blurry in the albumn but are fine when viewed on a computer

    Hi - I upgraded to 10.3.1 on my Q5 last week.  When I take a photo it takes a while to appear and then looks blurry.  If I turn the phone off and try again it's fine for a little while then the same problem happens.  I downloaded the photos to my computer to double check them and they are clear on the computer, so it's not an issue with the camera as I first thought, but rather when viewing them.  I have no outstanding updates and I have searched all over the forums but can't see a solution.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    can you please take one picture, view it when it is blurred and make a screenshot
    and do the same after turning the phone off ?
    then for both screenshots, you can attach them here so we can see.

  • My footage becomes blurry when i add the keyer

    Whenever I use the chroma keyer, my footage goes blurry. It takes out the background brilliantly but the actual subject becomes blurry. Even after rendering. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong.

    Hello,
    You posted on your YouTube clip:
    "I contacted Apple directly and they have confirmed there is a problem, especially when using DV footage. They are trying to fix it as we speak. If you export your green screen footage to Motion 5 there is no decrease in the quality.
    Hopefully they will have a patch soon."
    Can you give details about that?  Any updates?
    Also -
    Do you import to Final Cut, edit, then export using Motion 5?  Or, do you import to Motion 5 directly from DV, then open in FCP?
    I don't own Motion 5 yet - so I'm not familiar with it's capabilities.
    I have the exact same issue - it's not dependent on project settings, or any Keyer adjustments that I've attempted.
    Thanks much.

  • Forcing DvD menu to show when DvD is loaded

    Hi Studio Proers,
    After creating a killer menu, I was disappointed to see it skipped over and the first track start to play when I load the DvD into a DvD player/recorder.
    How can I 'tell' Studio Pro to force the menu to show when the DvDs are loaded (I'm going to burn 50 of them).
    Thanks muchly,
    Nick. . .

    Hi Nickalf,
    I heard in these forums that other users of SONY DVD recorders have similar issues with first play items. Is yours that brand?
    I suggest you try your disk in another player; most probably it will work fine.
    Some players have it's own ... "personality".

  • After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

    i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
    recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...

    Yes
    I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
    but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library)  I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
    We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

  • Pictures imported are blurry when viewing as slideshow

    Hello everyone, I am new to this this business and am trying to create a picture slide show but am running into the problem of the picture which I have imported and added to the slide show being fuzzy when I view it on my laptop. Here are the specifics and what I have already tried. Thank you all in advance.
    1. Have Adobe premiere elements 3
    2. Pictures originally scanned in at 200 dpi, have also placed same picture at 400 and 800 dpi scan into slide show for comparison
    3. Picture in question is a 3x5 and I have not touched any settings and have left them at defaults
    4. Picture is in good condition and is in jpeg format
    neubs

    Thank you Paul, Steve.
    Ok. I just checked my size in terms of pixels, at.....
    200 dpi= 680 x 1010
    300 dpi= 1020 x 1546
    With that said, I am assuming that the higher the dpi count, the bigger the size (pixel wise). Could it be a issue of the picture being used "being too big" and PE is automatically converting it to what the preset optimum dimensions are? As a result, making the pictures blurry?
    -In terms of resizing, how should I go about doing that? I have Photoshop Elements 5, would that be a good program to adjust the size to about 1000 x 750 pixels?
    -When you say render and "hitting enter," when and where do I do that: when I am doing with the slideshow and I export, or how/when do I render and what is the procedure?
    -The slideshow will be shown on a projector. What is the best method with the quality of the show in mind to show it....Direct link from laptop, AVI, DVD?
    Again, a big thank you to everyone in advance.

  • Adobe Reader plugin on Intel iMac... menu bar gone when viewing pdf?!?!?

    I had Adobe Reader 7.0.5 on my iMac G5 and when I clicked on a pdf file, it opened in a new window with a menu bar at the top. Since migrating to my Intel iMac yesterday, the menu bar is gone though pdf pages display... just with blank space where the menu used to be. I downloaded v7.0.8 and installed and the same problem. I have the prefs set to view pdf files in Safari and, again, they view... just no menu bar! Any idea how to fix this?

    As far as I know, Adobe Reader (even v7.0.8) isn't Universal yet, which means it [the plugin] probably won't run natively on your Intel iMac unless you run Safari under Rosetta.
