Id like to see what the final product looks like. Anyone got a picture they can post?

I would like to see what it looks like on TV. Does it have the black background, logo and names on the screen? Or, does it use full screen?

black background, no logo, full screen.

I can up a few images if no one else chimes in. The packaging is top notch! thumbsup.gif

I was disappointed in the quality all around. They do warn you about using a black background for the DVD itself, and because my slide show demanded a black background, I used one anyway. It's medium blue. It's awful if what you want is anything close to black. So my advice is listen to DJ and don't use a black background for your DVD.

Also, I found the quality when viewing on a TV to be basically that of watching a really old TV news segment from about 1980. Compared to how the slide show looks online, which is fantastic, the TV version looks kinda crappy. But then again, I really don't watch TV, I don't video tape ANYTHING, and so maybe I'm just too used to the quality of my Mac screen now.

Laura - I'm glad you like it and as Jules pointed out we recommend not using all black backgrounds for the Face of the DVD because if you've ever printed all black with ink you know that it will either leave smears or fingerprints...and DVD quality is different from Web quality and the quality of our disks is the same quality as other mainstream DVD's. Ya really can't compare TV's to computer monitors anymore. Computers have long past the resolution of TV's.

Thanks, DJ, yeah like I said, I really don't watch TV on a TV anymore, so maybe I'm just spoiled. Overall, very nice quality presentation though.

It's funny how spoiled we are watching things (especially pictures) on computer screens and I certainly think and hope that one day we don't need to bother with TV's b/c I'm with you about TV being rubbish. I never watch it either! smile.gif

Here are some pictures from Jess with the Showit DVD packaging...

I'm so excited. I just got my first email saying that someone purchased a DVD.
