[Dorset] [OT] Video Slide show with digital photographs
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??

Hi Tim, I would like to have the eventual video playable on a normal DVD\TV combination if at all possible. Modern TVs are mainly HD 1080, AIUI. You may find http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Vector_Video_Standards2.svg/960px-Vector_Video_Standards2.svg.png useful when trying to see the differences, e.g. the aspect ratio matches HD 720. Others will have more specific advice, I'm sure. Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2013-06-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
Re: [Dorset] [OT] Video Slide show with digital photographs
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? -- Andrew.

I use a 512Mb HD in a USB caddy with my Samsung TV. Works a treat. Also used USB sticks too.

OK a little more info, I need to make one movie that can be put on a DVD that can be played on a DVD player\TV and viewed on a PC, just a simple single file that will play when inserted into a dvd player. The DVD will also hold several files that can only be viewed on a PC (mainly pdf's and all the image files). I have to make another video similar to the one I will be putting on the DVD but with a few pictures missing due to copyright (I can let one person have them but I am not permitted to release these pictures to the public) and this video will be made available to be downloaded. Allowing 8 seconds per picture I have around 32 minutes of video but I may extend this to 10 seconds plus a few title pages and transitions so could be 45\50 minutes of video is quite possible. Any input to help me accomplish this that you guys have, would be gratefully appreciated Tim. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2013-06-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
