Hi,

I'm trying to create a Maestro slide show with stills.

I can put 6 stills on the timeline and the project compiles fine.

But if I put a 7th still on the timeline, compiling fails with error message "The calculated VIDEO bitrate is too high for a legal DVD stream."

Wow! These are only stills! I don't know where the bit rate is coming from. If I open the .m2v with Bitrate Viewer it shows 8Mbits, but there is no audio in this movie, just stills.

Any ideas?

Wierd, I had 43 still pictures, but one of these stills had very high detail. When I create a Maestro slide show without this one particular picture, everything is fine. If I put this one particular picture into the slide show, then I get the "The calculated VIDEO bitrate is too high for a legal DVD stream." error message.
