How to include a 320x256 size video in a DVD

[dvdnewb2]

Hi.
I am almost finished with my DVD project, but have one small problem. I have a SeaLife digital camera video that I want to include in the DVD. The problem is, when played, it plays full screen on my DVD/TV, so looks very pixilated. I just want it to play 'actual size' rather than fullscreen. I'm using DVDW2 but do not see any option to do this. Wondering what options are available to me.

Thanks in advance.

If you can't add borders directly in workshop you can use other editors like virtualdub, add resize filter under video->filters and type

Save as a new avi and add in workshop.

Or use avisynth to add black borders, see https://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/convert-author-multiple-avi-to-dvd-with-ac3-asp...o-t251071.html

Resizing from VCDish resolutions in my experience won't lead to good results. The suggestion to add black borders will have a small viewable image, but it is the highest quality way to do this.

If you have Ulead Video Studio (or the free trial), import the video on to the overlay track. That will centre the clip on to a blank background. Default is original size but you are also free to resize it.

From there just create a dvd compliant mpeg2 clip and import that clip into your DVDSW2 project.

If the clip is short (less that 254 seconds) you could just make a menu screen and drag the clip on to it as a button and resize it as you wish.
