Bye the way, how do you access the sound setting? I can't find it in the manual or the camera display.
I don't remember exactly, but it's a setting which can only take two values : "Hi" or "Lo". I don't think there's another setting with these values.
What resolution do you guys prefer? I'm trying to make a DVD for TV viewing and using the lowest setting still could not get my DVD player to read a disk. Thanks!
I'd say the best resolution is the native resolution of the camera, but if you're trying to make a DVD, you will have to downgrade if you have a HD cam.
Maximum DVD resolution is :
- 720 × 480 pixels in 30 fps countries (60 Hz mains).
- 720 × 576 pixels in 25 fps countries (50 Hz mains).
Those systems used to be called "
Never Twice the Same Color" (NTSC) and "Perfection At Last" (PAL) back when there were still vacuum-tube TV sets lying around and poor weather could change broadcasting conditions.
Most DVD Authoring software should be able to help you in the process.
You should burn the DVD at a fairly low speed setting (the lowest if possible), most video DVD players can't read discs which were burned too fast (same goes for audio CDs).
If you think your software may be doing something wrong, you can try
DVDStyler, here's the
documentation. It's rather simple.
