I thought Nero Vision used the MPEG4 codec, but all I can get is MPEG-2. I have a Plasma HDTV and would like to use the best codec possible for making DVDs of my photo images. If it is there, how do you select it? Thanks
I don't see how that applies. I want to burn photo images to a DVD to play on my Plasma TV. I have the Ultra/Enhanced v7+ of Nero. I'm not looking for a "size" advantage as would be needed for an iPod, but a "quality" advantage for a HDTV showing. I burned a movie of the same images with Pinnacle Studio Plus and the quality seemed to be much better. I think it uses the MPEG-4 codec.
From the Nero website: "Nero Digital™ is a complete audio/video codec solution, based on the MPEG-4 standard... It delivers DVD-quality at a compression rate far greater than MPEG-2...". It seems that you don´t get better quality with Nero Digital, only smaller file size. Anyway, you can create a DVD-Video (MPEG-2) slide show using Vision, then recode it to Nero Digital with Recode, and compare the quality. Also check the "high-definition" features in last Nero 7 version.
