Using Photoshop for DVDs

I am making some titles for a DVD production. PS’s default settings for NTSC uses 72 dpi. Will using a higher resolution produce a cleaner looking graphic?

TV is notoriously low in resolution. In my experience, images that look pixelly or bitty on a coputer monitor quite often render nicely on a TV screen.

Not really – use exactly the same rez you will use for the final DVD. I recommend adding a second NTSC monitor in clone mode, so that you can see (and fix) color problems, dot crawl, line flicker, and other problems early.

If your video board does not support this, get one at the local computer store. Video cards are cheap, and it will save you some headaches. —
