Help!!!
I have a CA DVD 86 (HDMI) and a Samsung 26" LCD. When I play a photo CD the pictures are really poor - low contrast and jaggies.
CA tell me that the resolution from my camera (5.1 megs) is too great for the Player or the TV.
BUT it worked fine with my old Philips £70 HDMI player and the same TV.
Can someone out there help with either a workaround, or a way of decreasing the resolution of my photos - though I don't really want to do that.
Incidentally, they look perfect on my ancient CRT monitor!!!!
Thanks
Alan

What is the resolution of your LCD, as its a fixed panel display it will downscale any images larger so I'm assuming this is the problem, I would resize your pictures to the panels native display for the best results.

Are you playing the PhotoCD in a DVD player?

If you are the DVD player may only output standard definition PAL which is really low resolution.

You'd be much better connecting a PC to your TV and setting the PC resolution to be the same as your TV.

Batch conversion, what software do you have?
Alternatively download Irfanview, its free and that has a handy batch conversion gool built in

This nice free utility might help
I used it to resize images for use in a video editing program to make a slide show
You could make a DVD form Proshowgold:

This would have titles animations ect

Otherwise the ability to do it without all this is down to the DVD player
