====================================
What software are you using to burn the DVDs?

Did you save copies of your projects in the .wmv
movie format? How do those look when viewed
on your Computer in Windows Media Player?

The color issue could be related to the
settings on your TV...but just as an experiment...
try burning a DVD using the following free
software...(scroll down for info)

DVD Flick
http://www.dvdflick.net/

Be sure to read the Guide:
http://www.dvdflick.net/guide.php

If you have problems downloading DVD Flick...
try the following direct link:

http://tinyurl.com/6gt7p2
or...
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dvdflick/dvdflick_setup_1.3.0.4.exe

Save the file to a folder on your hard drive and
install from there.

To create a basic Video DVD that should play in a free
standing DVD player...try the following...

Good luck.

First...read the DVD Flick Guide to familiarize yourself
with the program.

Open DVD Flick and insert a blank DVD in your burner.

If your computer's Autoplay window opens....just close it.

Click the Project Settings button and go to...Video /
Target format...residents of USA...choose...NTSC /
Accept.

Left click the Add title button and browse to your
Movie Clips and select the ones you want on the DVD.

You can arrange them by selecting one and then use
the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

Left click the Create DVD button / OK / Yes / Yes.

Wait while the DVD is created.

When the text "Finished Successfully" appears you
may close DVD Flick. Now you can eject your DVD
and play it in your DVD player.

At some point you may wish to purchase more
advanced software like Nero, Roxio, Ulead, etc...but
at least this is a start.

What profile are you using? I have had success using the DVD Profile
(NTSC) 1280x960 from papajohn.org to make the Photo Story and using Free
Videos to DVD by Koyote Soft to create the DVD. I have used DVD Flick
for other things like putting flv files on a DVD, but I couldn't get it
to work with the wmv's generated by Photo Story 3. If you want more
details about how I did this, I wrote a tutorial at
http://pctoby.com/DVDPhotoStory.aspx

John,

I'm using Photo Story 3 and I purchased the Sonic DVD plug in to copy
slideshows onto a DVD. Is there a way to have playback of the DVD loop
continuously? I want to play the slideshow continuosly during a birthday
celebration.

Thanks so much.

Sorry...but all I can say is check for
options in the Sonic software.

there's no user settings in the Sonic plug-in.... you would need to have the
feature on the DVD player.... or use other software to make the DVD.
