I am using VS 9 Building a soccer video / slideshow . I lose Quality on photo images. When I bring photos in to video Studio libary the pixels drop from 300 per inch to 72 . I have used both V S Basic and Video Stuio 8 with perfect photo clarity . I am Stumped, any ideas ?

You are confusing ppi with dpi. Dpi (dots per inch) only come into play when printing the images. For display on monitors, 72 ppi is standard, anything higher than that does not give a clearer picture. Some LCD/Plasma displays use 96 ppi.
If you are losing clarity in your images, it's not because of the 72 ppi, it's because of the size reduction going on to bring your picture down to the DVD frame size. The larger the picture in pixels by pixels, the more you could potentially lose. Resize your images close to your TV standard's frame size prior to introducing them into VS. Also, if you can, don't use jpeg images, convert them to bmp or other non lossy compression prior to resizing and insertion on the VS time line.
You are losing quality because the jpeg image gets compressed again in VS.

To much detail & resolution causes the annoying flickering effect on interlaced TV's.
Most likely, like Ken said they should be "Frame-Based".
When you create a slide-show in MF they are "Frame-Based".
I wouldn't combine a slideshow with real moving videos.
To do that and keep the resolution you would need to create a dv.avi file
first from the pictures, then convert that to mpeg2 to mix with the existing moving video.
It's easier to play them as separate items on the dvd.
