Burn Keynote to DVD - Quality of Charts is Fuzzy

[kasofo]

I have a project where I need to burn Keynote to DVDs. I've created detailed charts using text, lines, hatches, and color. Also included are film clips from movies. These presentations will be used by a client who will be teaching to students on script analysis for films.

Question is: After exporting the presentations to a DVD, the quality of the charts is very fuzzy and unreadable. (When in Keynote of course, the quality was perfect - clear as a bell.)

I've tried exporting the charts to Quicktime first, with no luck...still fuzzy.

Does anyone know a way to export to DVD and maintain the quality? The presentations will be played on a small theater screen (at LucasFilm, Singapore campus).

Thank you soooo much! ;|
Ciao!!

Not really, dvds have a set res much smaller than your computer screen. The best bet is to build the keynote file set to DVD res and then scale all images etc to that size so when the file is converted to images for the DVD it doesn't need to do scaling as the one being used may be sub optimal.

Can you not display it from a PDF off a computer?

DVDs record at these resolutions, so you can probably see what the problem is:

To record moving pictures, DVD-Video uses either MPEG-2 compression at up to 9.8 Mbit/s (9,800 kbit/s) or MPEG-1 compression at up to 1.856 Mbit/s (1,856 kbit/s).
The following formats are allowed for MPEG-2 video:
At 25 frame/s, interlaced (commonly used in regions with 50 Hz image scanning frequency - PAL):
720 × 576 pixels (same resolution as D-1)
704 × 576 pixels
352 × 576 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard)
At 29.97, interlaced (commonly used in regions with 60 Hz image scanning frequency - NTSC):
720 × 480 pixels (same resolution as D-1)
704 × 480 pixels
352 × 480 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard)
