Improving Output Quality

Due to our satisfaction survey, more than 80% users concern the output quality before they decide to purchase PPT2DVD. For most conditions, the output quality loses a little comparing to original presentation, because of the technical limitation of DVD format. Following tips may help you to achieve better quality while converting specific presentations to DVD.

1. Optimize the page size of your presentation

PPT2DVD suggests the optimum page size according to your settings on Settings screen, under Video Settings. If the original page size is not the same as the optimum one, please adjust the page size of your presentations under PowerPoint. To change the page size, do the following:

• For PowerPoint 2003
Launch PowerPoint, go to File > Page Setup, and then enter the optimum width and height to corresponding fields. Please be careful of the units for the width and height.

• For PowerPoint 2007
Launch PowerPoint, go to Design > Page Setup, and then enter the optimum width and height to corresponding fields. Please be careful of the units for the width and height.

2. Use Wondershare sound recorder to retain sounds in presentations

Note: If you use sound recorder to retain sounds in you presentations, all sounds produced by your computer will be recorded to the output. Close all media players before
conversion.

2. Choose proper encoding quality

The default video encoding quality is Medium. But it is not always the best. The optimum quality setting for different presentations varies. You can find the encoding quality at Settings screen > DVD Settings dialog > Quality Control tab.

• For presentations that contain a big amount of complex and complicated animations, Low quality is recommended. If you choose High, the animations may looks intermittent.

• For presentations that contain much text but no complicated animations, Very High is recommended.

• For presentations that contain many videos and images but no complicated animations, High is recommended.

Because the natural encoding efficiency of MPEG is much lower than WMV and AVI, if your device supports WMV or AVI, the two formats are recommended.
