All movie formats associated with discs (Video-CD, DVD, HD-DVD, BluRay) have lower frame rates: 24 fps for the HD formats, and 25 or 30 fps for DVD/Video CD, for PAL and NTSC respectively. These will always be inferior in quality due to the compression algorithms used (even a full-HD movie created using the latest H.264 encoder shows significantly less detail than the real-time rendering in Fotomagico). Photo-to-Movie seems to prepare DVDs or other movies from your shows. Present on a 30' Apple Cinema Display (which has 4 Megapixel resolution) - and you would want to buy one right away, it's awesome. This gives you superb playback quality as everything is rendered in real-time to make it fit the resolution of your screen.įor a good full-HD monitor, this would mean, 1920x1080 pixel images, progressive scan, at 60 full frames per second. The primary way to watch slideshows in Fotomagico is the live presentation using either the Fotomagico software or a (Mac only, Windows forthcoming) standalone Fotomagico player generated from the show.
