I stopped using PD9 for this exact reason and went back to version 8. Never had an issue with version 8 pixelating portrait photos but, version 9 pixelates the photos so severly that you can barely make out the faces! When they come out with version 10 I will try it out before I pay good money to "upgrade".

James W.,
I am attaching two screen shots taken from a produced DVD HQ mpeg2 file. The photo that is in portrait orientation is very pixelated and the photo in landscape orientation is not bad. I have tweaked everything I know with no improvement.

I am attaching the dxdiag file but I don't fully understand the screen shot that you want. I have read the guidelines but I am still unsure of what you want. I did try uninstall and re-install with the 2330 patch but it made no difference. Video looks good but photos look like they were shot low res. whether I produce or create disk and yet everything looks great in preview.

I have been using PowerDirector since version 5. I recently upgraded from 8 to 9 and installed the 2330a patch. I also installed the new ATI Radeon drivers. I am running on a brand new HP running Windows 7 64 bit. Everything has worked flawlessly until I burned a disk. The preview looked great but the actual burned DVD is of poor quality. The photos that are landscape are OK but the portrait are badly pixelated. I went back and checked all of the disk settings and everything is identical to what I had always set in version 8. I'm guessing I am missing something simple but, I can't figure it out. Decided to try to produce an mpeg2 and got the same results. I would appreciate any help.

Hi Tony and thanks for the response. I have not yet produced the video as I was waiting to see if there was something obvious that I was missing. You are correct, it is a preview window issue. After receiving your response, I played with the buttons under the preview window and was able to switch to hi-preview resolution. Big difference!
Thanks Again!

I imported 2 hi res photos to add to the timeline ahead of my video. When I highlight the photos, in the media area, they look great but when I move them to the timeline they playback at a much lower quality. They are 24 bit JPG. Both are over 4 MB. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have received error code 1334 when trying to install PowerDirector 8 on my Windows Vista 64 system. It was suggested that I run a regisrty cleaner program, which I did, but no change. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
