DVD Pictureshow 2 - picture flicker

[murphinite]

When burning a slideshow to a DVD some photos flicker when played back on a TV - this does not happen when burning to a VCD - any ideas on how to fix this problem ? I have the anti-flickering option checked under preferences but flickering still occurs

tried the updates but still experiencing the flicker - but thanks for the feedback - will keep trying

The flicker usually shows in areas of high detail or horizontal lines, right?
Use an image editor, like PhotoImpact, PS or the like and introduce a slight vertical motion blurr, 1 or 2 pixels worth of it should suffice. In PI you can run a batch conversion which doesn't take long and you don't have to do it for each image separately.

that's correct - will give it a try - thanks

Hi, my mother-in-law has PictureShow 2.0 and is experiencing the picture flicker problem. She is thinking of upgrading to version 4 in an attempt to solve this problem. Is picture flicking a problem with v. 4?

Thanks in advance.

[murphinite]

not sure if picture flicker is still a problem in version 4 however it was in version 3 - I sugguest you try downloading the free trial version 4 and burn a test slideshow before purchasing the upgrade

[Josquire]

Ok, I will try that. Does anyone who has the full version 4 still have flicker problems?
