Hi all, In the past, I used to make photo VCDs using VCDEasy, therefore the conversion of the stills was in MPEG1. I was able to put around 1800 MPEG1 stills whose original resolution was 1600 x 1200 pixels. Nowdays, I cannot succeed with more than 1000 stills on DVD-R. Of course, conversion is now to MPEG2. Therefore, I was wondering, what's the advantage of using a DVD-R if the quantity of stills I can burn on it is less? OK, there are many other things you can do using a DVD-R, I know, but if you only want to put stills on it? Therefore the question: Do I need such a high resolution of the picture to be watched on TV? I mean, if I resize the picture to, say, 640 x 480 and then convert to MPEG2 and put it on DVD, I guess the quality I see is the same as if the picture was 1600 x 1200. Would I save space and be able to add more stills this way? I guess the resolution is important for printing only. Am I right or wrong? BTW, my TV is not a hi-tech one, it's a 16 years old Philips, but image is still perfect. Thanks for clarifing. Cheers Alex
