WMV HD
WMVHD (Windows Media High Definition Disc) is a disc type for optimum slideshow playback on
your PC. The slideshow(s) are converted in a high-resolution format into the Windows Media 9 format
and a menu is added, like with DVDs. The minimum requirement for playback is Windows Media Player
9 (or higher). The slideshows are encoded, by default, in HDTV
resolution (1280 x 720, also known as "720p").
However, a powerful PC with Windows Media Player 9 installed is required for playback.
The values "720p" or "1080i" describe the vertical resolution in pixels. The total resolution of the "PC
slideshow 720p" is 1280 x 720 pixels, the "PC slideshow 1080i" has 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Unfortunately, there are currently now DVD players for sale that can handle this format as the jump in
quality from DVD to WMV HD is greater than from VHS cassettes to DVD.
However, players that support this format may be available in the near future, although we cannot
guarantee that discs created with MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe can be played in
these players. TV sets that can handle such high resolutions are already available from retailers.
