Thanks for the info, I'll try that this evening.
And you are right about using dvd rather than cd, that may be enough to resolve the problem along with using high ppi.

Hi all
I need to create a version of a booklet for display on flat screen tv (not HD) and having trouble making text visible - it displays as broken lumps mostly
undecipherable.
I am exporting spreads from InDesign to VIDEO_TS folder as jpegs and burning
this to cd.
Is there another way I can get clear text on the tv screen?
This is a PAL system, could it be a  tv screen resolution problem?
If so, can I get around it?
TIA

Hi,
    It's some years ago since I used such software but as I remember
InDesign is vector (postscript) and the jpeg format is for rasterised images - if you have Pshop you could export the spreads from InDesign as pdf and then raster them into Pshop to vary the resolution and then save them as high quality jpegs and try that. The resolution needs to be high- ish to get
typefaces to appear clearly - possibly between 180 and 360ppi to get
somewhere near the legibility of a pdf. Not sure what the tv screen will make of it as this is down to the dot pitch resolution of the tv but many modern screens/dvd players have the ability to convert from mpeg and jpeg on the fly now and can adapt to various resolutions and frame rates instantly.
    Not sure it can be a cd though - shouldn't it be dvd for video_ts?

Pete
