My slideshows and menus look pixelated after I burn a DVD in DVD Studio Pro

Hello to all! I'm new to DVD Studio Pro and this posting. I have finally finished setting up my DVD, and it looks great in DVD Studio Pro. However, whenever I burn a final copy, the menus and every picture in my slideshow looks pixelated and crunchy. I'm pretty sure I have all my settings right, I had help setting up my project by a guy who creates films and promotional shorts in DVDSP all the time. The pictures/menus are jpgs (original size is something like 1800 pixels, 180 dpi). I have tried saving them smaller (720x543) then importing them. I have tried saving them as tiffs and importing them. I have tried saving them smaller AND saving as tiffs and importing them. I have tried different media types. I have gone into "menu" under DVDSP Prefs, and changed the Final Rendering from "hardware based" to "software based". Nothing works. I don't know what else to do. I just feel like DVDSP is "compressing" the crap out of these things for no reason at some point, and I can't figure this out. They do look lovely in the simulator though, it's only when I play back the burned DVD that it looks terrible. Am I overlooking something very simple? Please help! I really appreciate any thoughts people have on this.

Hi JenRem, another idea you may consider is to export your content prior to DVDSP3 workflow as follows:
• set destination resolutions for your DVD as 576x720 (PAL) or the non pal version (480 x 720) and
• export ain APPLE ANIMATION CODEC (this is the thing that may fix you issue maybe).
I base this suggestion on some experiences in 2005-2006 when making a DVD title from micr$oft's powerpoint .app. I just wanted animation (transitions) slides in a DVD for mat with an audio track and "stop on chapter".
I feel the same these days with a workflow using KEYNOTE.app - just export the QT in APPLE ANIMATION CODEC at the correct res for the DVD SP3 input.
I can't account for the look of your menus though.. perhaps another unrelated issue.
I noticed that exporting as a QT movie looked ok until I noticed dreadful compression artifacts in the final M2V after the DVD was encoded.
Additionally, I noticed somilatr issues when using content created by MOTION.APP into a DVD SP3 workflow when letting DVD SP3 do BACKGRAOUND or BIULD encoding.
SO.. simpe rule for me is to always use APPLe's ANIMATION CODEC as the input source for any CGA type stuff.
Naturally the objects are rather large when using the ANIMATION CODEC so just delete these transient objects when your work in comlete. You can always create them again as you know.
varies to taste I image but always works for me.
worth a try!

  • Illustrator cc image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background

    as the title states; image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background...
    i created a logo in adobe illustrator cc and i wanted to saved it for web in order to be able to copy and paste the logo where ever I wanted but the image looks extremely pixelated after saving as an png, and for web. Is there a solution for this?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!!
    Jon

    What DPI did you save as:
    You should always save as 300dpi, then you can always reduce  the size as needed.
    Another thing, don't copy and paste, that always causes that Problem.
    In Acrobat you should open Tools Menu click on Content Editing  the Add Image.
    Then click on image and choose Properties and place where you want and size as you desire.

  • Why does the Video looks Pixelated after Burning DVD

    In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great, when I burn the DVD it comes out very very pixelated. I've changed the preferences from Best Performance to Best Quality, and the project properties as well I've done the same. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    I'm using 16:4 aspect ratio Video Size is 1280x720
    Help

    How are you viewing the DVD you created - on a computer or on a TV?
    In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great
    The preview uses your original content on your hard drive and is simply designed to allow you to see if the 'flow' (sequences, menus, etc) are what you wanted.
    In addition, although iDVD 'supports' HD, it only supports it in the context of current specifications - not the new HD DV world that has two competing HD DVD formats.
    This means your 1280x720 content gets downsized and compressed to fit on a 720x480 DVD. The video must be 'expanded' to play on a HD set.
    BTW, your aspect ratio is 16:9 and NOT 16:4. 16:4 would REALLY be widescreen! I haven't seen THAT spec yet.

  • Something changed on my file and now my vector elements and fonts look pixelated in CS6

    Today an illustrator file with vector objects and fonts that I've been working on for days looked pixelated when enlarging at more than 400%. I couldn't find the fix so I started a new canvas, selected everything from my pixelated file, pasted it into a new canvas and everything transferred correctly so I was able to continue working with my vector elements again.  I was curious if anyone knows what made my vector elements change to pixels and how to fix it.  Thanks guys

    You are welcome Miss Modular.
    Even on web jobs people do not use that option too often, so really wish they would not assign a keyboard command to that, which is what I suspect happened to you.

  • Why do my still images look shaky after I burn them to DVD?

    Hello all,
    I'm in need of some help. I'm making a 30 second commercial with still images. The first problem is when I burn them to DVD and view them on my TV the shake. It looks fine on Youtube because I had to place it there for my boss to review. Any idea why this is happening?
    I'm exporting to Compressor then burning using DVD Studio Pro.
    Also, I put the color bars in but I don't hear a sound on the DVD or in the sequence line but I do if I'm in the View window.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've got a 9:30 am deadline for submission!

    thanks, i tried the deinterlace but can't watch on the dvd player till the morning. 6:30 am i'll try to see if that worked. if not i'll try your other suggestion. gotta take a quick nap

  • Images in Slideshows and Menus 'jumping' up before resolving

    Tried to do a search for this, but my word choices probably aren't correct...
    Is there a way to stop images from 'jumping' up before they resolve (or am I doing something wrong and making it happen)? I have been noticing that in slideshows (especially if there is a disolve transition) or in menus, images will 'scoop' up before settling into their final position. And that usually the image is not as crisp or clear afterwards.
    It's happening with items I create using Photoshop's templates, as well as images I drag into drop zones. It's happening with images that I have scanned, or that others have provided, or with item I have captured off the internet or off DVDs, so there's no common thread.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Pdf save as jpg and png looks pixelated like it doesn't anti-alias text

    This has been an issue for a while and I can't figure out how to resolve it.  When i open a pdf in acrobat 11.0.0 and click file/save as other/ i can't get the text to anti-alias, it always looks jagged no matter what settings i adjust.
    I can bring the pdf into photoshop or illustrator and can export there but with multiple pages it is a bit absurd.  any ideas?

    thanks bill,
    I'll try to do the updates, it is rather difficult to do when the creative cloud software thinks you are up to date.
    I've tried everything from determine automatically and 72-600 dpi, adjusting the interlace and filter options. It happens regardless of the font - here are 2 more examples on a file created in illustrator, saved off as pdf and then jpg using default settings and png using default settings

  • I just bought Adobe Illustrator and it looks pixelated on my Laptop

    I thought there might be a way to optimize the resolution to your display but I'm having a hard time finding that option if there is one.

    Do you have a retina display MacBook Pro? If so, download and install the updates.

  • Making a slideshow and putting it into IDVD

    I have made a slideshow and since I can no longer burn it to a CD (that was so simple to do) I find I have to get it into IDVD. I can drag and drop it fine EXCEPT I cannot get the theme in the right place. It starts after my slideshow not before.
    Guess I'm not too bright but I draged the slideshow to where it says " drag contents here to automatically start when the disc is inserted". Unfortunately by doing this, the theme comes on after the slideshow. When I tried to drag and drop it into the"movie" or "slideshow" box it will not drag and drop into it.
    Can someone please explain in simple terms how this is done ? I went to help but that only tells you how to create a slideshow in IDVD and I have already created it in Imovie and don't want to go thru all that work again.
    Thanks for any help.
    Stella

    " drag contents here to automatically start when the disc is inserted".
    Didn't I tell you a couple of days ago that you probably did that? If not you, then someone doing exactly the same thing...
    Trash that iDVD project. Start and Save a new one. Pick a theme. Drag the iMovie-based slideshow into the main menu (not a Drop Zone). Save the project. Burn a DVD-R.
    Can't get much more simple than that.

  • Windows 7 won't boot, during or after installation, only through the Windows DVD

    Hi,
    I've been trying to install Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro 15'' (Mid 2010) through Boot Camp. The OS X version is Mountain Lion (the notebook was bought with Snow Leopard, and I got Lion and Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store). I don't have a physical Windows 7 DVD, but I have valid and genuine serials (seriously), so I downloaded a retail copy through this article (http://arstechnica.com/features/2012/06/blowing-away-bloatware-a-guide-to-reinst alling-windows-on-a-new-pc/), burned it with Disk Utility (in 2x - I've read reports of people complaining that maximum speex, 8x, could bring problems), and used Boot Camp Assistant to install. The Assistant downloaded the drivers and burned them to a DVD, and also began the Windows installing smoothly.
    Here's the problem, though: when Windows does its first reboot throught the installation process, the Mac stops at a grey screen with a flashing question mark (as if indicating that it doesn't know how to boot). To fix that, I restart and hold the option key, and then select to boot FROM THE WINDOWS DVD - then the installation continues from where it left off. It then reboots once more, where I get stuck at the same point - flashing question mark. If I repeat the process one more time, it finishes the installation just fine. If I try to restart the machine, however, it doesn't boot to Windows - I get stuck at the same flashing question mark. To boot into Windows sucessfully, I've got to hold the option key, and select for it to boot from the Windows DVD - if I try to boot from the windows partition, the problem repeats itself.
    Can anyone share some knowledge about this? I looked through the web like crazy, but amazingly, this does not seem to be a common problem people have when installing Windows on Macs.
    Just as a heads up, I installed Boot Camp on Windows (the DVD created through the Boot Camp Assistant with the most recent files downloaded straight from Apple) to see if it would fix the problem, but it didn't. I also downloaded 5 different iso's for Windows 7, making sure they were untouched/MSDN/full retail versions and burned them through Disk Utility at 2x, and trying to install them reproduces the very same error I just described.

    SP1 has been trouble for some Macs. Don't know so don't ask why. Pre-SP1 then worked fine.
    Try Windows 8 Preview.
    Some people use VirtualBox, install there, and use VB and windows native tools to burn the DVD.
    Once you’ve downloaded the ISO for your Windows edition and bit-ness, you can either burn it to a DVD using Windows 7's built-in DVD burning tool or copy it to a USB drive using Microsoft’s Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool—our guide will help you through it step-by-step.
    Because it sounds like even though you used 2x that it is not a good DVD. Or DVD media/brand. Or the Superdrive - which has to be internal on your model unless you're hacking the USB-DVD driver plist.

  • Cant open PDF's after being burned to a CD

    I have an issue where a user is buring pdf files to a CD and when they try to open them is gives and error of not supported or currupt file. The weird thiing is that she can give it to another user and they can open it fine. Also if she burins another file then she can open the first one she tried opening earlier and couldn't. After she burns three files to the CD then she can open all three. She is on the latest version of Reader and so is the other user. I have tried repairing and reinstalling Reader with no luck, I have also tried turning off protected mode and have had the user try buring from the local drive and not a network share folder. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be?

    It would depend on the burning software. I use Roxio, and you can set things to "read only" where they have to be copied from the disc before they can be opened. Usually I burn things to run from the disc.

  • Added logos look pixelated and how to add a watermark?

    Hey guys,
    I'm having a bit of trouble. i'm trying to add a watermark with one half of the logo covering the footage and the other half the black bar. Because I need to crop the video the logo (ofcourse) gets cut in half. When I try importing the entire file as a .MOV file and then add the logo I have alot of loss in quality. Trying it in After Effects didn't help either.
    Also, adding the logos and text in Premiere as a .PNG file looks pixelated even though the file is of a very high resolution. How can I fix this/

    Jim,
    Picture this...
    You have 16:9 footage with really good stuff at the extreme right and the extreme left. SO you want to keep it that way. You also have 4:3 that you don't want to scale up. SO you use a 4:3 project. Now you have two choices. You can crop all of the 4:3 footage, or, when you get all done editing with both 16:9 and 4:3 you export the entire mixed clip as a 4:3 clip. Import that into Premiere Pro and crop the entire clip to look letterboxed. Now add a logo that happens to sit near the bottom right and some of it is over video, and some is over black letterbox.
    Only none of this is relevant other than to explain that he has a problem with his logo in that it looks pixelated.
    Solve the pixelation and the other explanation is not relevant.

  • Fonts and AI files look pixelated

    And yes i have it on high Quality view.  I don't know if it is a hardware issue or an adobe issue.  please help.  Basically all fonts and files that i place look pixelated.  they print and PDF fine but it doesn't help much while i'm trying to design the pages.  I'm currently on a 15" Dell Laptop with m880 graphics card and 8GB of memory.  I'm also using CS5.5.

    I've been playing with your files, and at first everything was fine, then I suddenly lost the previews, and just as suddenly resotored them shortly after. Took me awhile to find the trigger.
    I don't know why it is happening, but here's waht has been causing it here: Horizontal scrolling, but only when I use the side-to-side scroll action on the scroll wheel of my mouse. When you move the page around (at least with Live Screen Drawing set to delayed as I have it) the screen preview drops temporarily to Typical Quality while the page is in motion. Once it stops, it's supposed to return to High Quality, but for some reason it's failing. It seemed to be happening when an image started to leave the window, but curiously I seem to get the same effect if zoomed out and I scroll horizontally with the wheel, while keeping everything in view, but then try to move one of the links around with the selection tool. I was able to reproduce the latter behavior in a new doc for a few minutes using your logo and one of my own images, but now it has stopped in that file. I don't recall ever seeing this before on my system, but it's possible I didn't pay much attention as it's an intermittent problem that is self correcting:
    Using the Hand tool or the scroll handles on the sides of the document window restores the preview!
    My testing with other files is hardly exhaustive, but it looks to me like the phenomenon is isolated to the links in this file (it didn't happen with my own links in other files). I don't know why. I suspect it may have something to do with the file having been initailly created in CS4 and converted in CS5.5, but I can't swear to it.
    Bottom line: I can describe and reproduce the problem consistently with this file, but I can't explain it or fix it. I may do some further testing, if you don't mind, and depending on waht happens I may want to send in a bug report and attach your files. Would that be OK?
    New hardware is unlikely to make any difference.
    Before I forget, you have a linked .indd in the upper left corner on the background layer that is doing you no good at all and should be deleted. I found it using Find Font...

  • After the last Yosemite update on my MacBook pro I turned the FileVault on, now my Mac is freezing all the time and encrypting the drive looks like going to last forever and I am unable to use my MacBook pro what must I do???!!!

    after the last Yosemite update on my MacBook pro I turned the FileVault on, now my Mac is freezing all the time and encrypting the drive looks like going to last forever and I am unable to use my MacBook pro what must I do???!!!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
