hi gang

I had a couple of quick Showit questions:

1. Is there a recommended minimum size my source images should be if I am creating a Showit show that I intend to offer as a DVD purchase? I created a 600x400 show using 800x533 source images -- should I be working from larger source images? I didn't know if it affects the quality of the DVD.

2. Just as an aside, anyone happen to know the turnaround time for a DVD order?

cheers!

I've looked at the dvd files that showit produces, and they're 1200x800. So I export files for my shows at that resolution.

Hope that helps!

It took a whole week for my DVD to travel from Atlanta to Montgomery, AL. Post Office is totally useless. All total 2+ weeks.

AZ is where it ships from so you will get yours quicker.
