Travlac: Here is a link to a still image from the MPEG2 that I captured using copy to clipboard in VirtualDub-MPEG2. I then pasted that into Paint and saved it as a bitmap. Then I compressed it to a JPEG at 95% Quality setting using Ulead iphoto express so the image file size would match yours for a fair comparison. The MPEG2 itself was made with ProShow Gold with the default settings checked for “Desaturate image to 80%” and “Apply anti-flicker filter to video” the video bitrate was 9000kbps VBR. As you all can see my still has higher resolution visible with less artifacting on the black material, but the color is not near as good as travlac’s still photo. The DVD’s color is marginally better when viewed on the TV sets but the green color on the “5%” lettering is still very bad and blurry. I did another one leaving the Desaturate image checkbox unchecked but the color was even worse. Let me reiterate that the DVD’s I make from ProShow do not flicker on the TV’s (or computer using WinDVD) playback using a Norcent DVD player to the 5 TV’s (47 inch, to 19 inch) throughout my home, some connected with S-video, & some with composite connectors.
