I am creating a slideshow from scanned photographs with transitions and background audio using Arcsoft Showbiz. When I try to create a VCD using the Create VCD menu option in Showbiz, my DVD player cannot play it. If I import the project into MyDVD and burn the VCD from there, my DVD player can play it but the video quality is very poor. If I create the slideshow completely in MyDVD and burn the VCD from there both audio and video are very good but MyDVD does not have the transition effects that Showbiz has so I do not want to use it. I have used several brands of CD-R and the results are consistent.

What am I doing wrong? How do you burn a slideshow VCD from Showbiz without importing into MyDVD?
