DVD Studio Pro - Creating PAL Menus for DVD Studio Pro

---

What's the best size to create still images for a PAL DVD?

Because video uses rectangular pixels and the computer uses square pixels, we need to compensate for the differences between the two whenever we create something on the computer for display in video.

This is especially true for still images we bring into DVD Studio Pro to use as menu backgrounds or slides for a slide show.

When you create an image for PAL, use the following image sizes in Photoshop:

• 4 x 3 aspect ratio: 768 x 576 x 72 dpi
• 16 x 9 aspect ratio: 1024 x 576 x 72 dpi
