It depends what you're doing. If you want to distribute this as a DVD then you want to select PAL DVD. The 1080 options are all high-definition and I rather doubt any DVD players could play this. Blu-ray players could, but are they common yet? I recently saw a Blu-ray writer drive for around £60.

If this is for a slide-show that you are going to be controlling then you might want to consider creating a 1080 movie, preferably 1080p not 1080i (i means interlaced, and AFAIK there are about zero HD TVs where this is needed), and then putting it on to a Raspberry Pi. This has an HDMI output for HD TVs and a composite video output for SD TVs.

It seems common for TVs to have ethernet ports and USB, I wonder if SD cards or USB sticks can be used on most TVs these days?

Sorry for being slightly OT, but a quick question if may. I am going to make a video slide show using digital photographs (300+ images). I have two questions, I get various options as to what Profile I want the video to be in, DV\DVD Pal, HD 1080i (with various frame speeds), HDV 1080 25i 1920 x 1080 etc.. etc.. What is the best to use. I would like to have the eventual video playable on a normal DVD\TV combination if at all possible.

Secondly and probably related to the above, all the photograph are in various resolution, what would be the best resolution to change them in to??

Thanks in advance

Tim
