Hi All

I am compiling a movie in iDVD ver 6.0.3 on Mac Pro using the "Lines" template from 5.0 Themes for my DVD menu. This template let's you drop in some photos that scroll across the screen.

So, I dragged & dropped some high resolution images into the various drop zones on the template. They look nice and sharp. I click the play button to test the menu animation on my 23" cinema display and the images look good and sharp, scrolling along the screen and in freeze frame (see link to comparison image below). Then, as I continue working, all the images suddenly become compressed and full of artifacts.

Anyone know why iDVD is doing this and how to prevent it? If I try to drag the image back in, it doesn't go back to sharp. But what's interesting is if I change the name of the source file and drag it back into the template again, it will go sharp again, but eventually it will compress again.

Any thoughts gang?
