Pictures on a TV?
How big does a digital photo have to be to look good on a TV (32 inches, traditional non-HDTV)?
Specifically, I'm scanning in photos and want to be able to produce VCDs and DVDs of slide shows that look impressive. I'll be using iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and Toast Titanium.
Any suggestions?
I just want to avoid trial and error (wasting disks and time).
Thanks,

1024 x 576 Wide PAL
1280 x 720 HDTV 720P
1920 x 1080 HDTV 1080i
NTSC is what is used in the states and PAL is whats used in europe.
If you make your slideshow with iMovie I beleive it will resize photos when you export it for iDVD, but I haven't done this myself yet.
Hope this was helpful.

Note that that's basically just '2 Megapixels' in digital camera parlance, so all the new top-of-the-consumer-line cameras (which are 4 to 5 MP) can be cropped if there's too much background, and _still_ make a really nice picture at max-tv-res.
as long as its over 800x600 it will look fine (the scanner's the limits haha)
