Hello. I have completed my slideshow. 13.30 minutes. I have burnt to a DVD-R and the quality is not very good. If I use AVCHD onto a DVD-R, could it be played on a regular DVD player? Any burn suggestions to get better quality onto a DVD. Many thanks and Best Regards. Terry Pritchard.
Hi Terry
What is your source video format ?
DVD quality is poor due to its low resolution, 720 x 576 (PAL) or 720 x 480 (NTSC), and depends highly on the quality of the players upscaler for viewing on a Smart TV etc.
It is possible to burn to a higher resolution, and works best with source video that is Full HD (1920 x 1080) or 4K, by creating a Blu-Ray format disc , this can be put on to a standard DVD disc providing the movie length does not exceed approximately 20 mins - in your case this will be possible - do not use the AVCHD disc option.
You will however need a BD player to play the disc.
DVD only players do not support either the AVCHD disc or Blu-Ray disc format.

Hello John. I shoot in RAW, process the photos in Adobe Elements 21, then save them as TIF files. These are about 50MB each. The people I will send these to will probably only have a DVD player. Best regards .
