Ratio settings

[Mike]

I just captured some PowerPoint 2007 (pptx) projects to avi video using
Camtasia studio. All went well until I made a dvd to view on TV.
The regular version I made looks like a small square in the middle of the TV
screen. I set PowerPoint slideshow tab to resolution 800x600 and under
design tab (page setup) to slides sized for 4:3 ratio.

Then I made that same presentation into a widescreen DVD by changing
resolution to 960x600 and slides sized for 16:9 ratio. That wide DVD looks
even worse. It still looks small in the middle of the TV screen, but it
looks stretched out and unnatural.

What am I doing wrong ? I do not have a widescreen monitor on my computer.
Does that make a difference ? I tried using higher resolution, but I don't
think I have enough processing power to capture much higher resolutions than
I used. Any advice on PowerPoint settings to get a good screen capture
will be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

See if you can set your powerpoint slideshow to

720x480
or your 'windows desktop' to the same setting.

As that is the resolution of DVD
