[Shop-talk] Off Topic? Any video gurus out there?

Kind of need to know what you mean by best.  Are you looking to maximize
quality of image, fit as many pix as possible on a DVD, or speed of play?
Sounds like it will largely depend on what your player will show for you.
Older players may not even have a still picture capability.  Many newer ones
can convert a wide range of formats.  A lot of flat screen TVs now simply have
USB ports into which you plug a jump drive for immediate slide shows...  Won't
be long before the projectors have that as well.

Can anyone suggest what is the optimal format for viewing .jpegs off a DVD

I do with my 35mm slides & slide projector but doing so, now, with my
digital camera images. What I've been able to come up with is a 1080p
Upconvert DVD player with an HDMI output (an LG DN798) fed into an HDMI
capable Mitsubishi HC1500 projector. I don't have the smarts to know whether
this is overkill or not; I'm just relying on what I've about HDMI vs. the
analog component & S video interfaces. I'm also trying to avoid buying a
laptop as the feed source, if I can, to save $$. The set up I just mentioned
is < $1100.

Thanks in advance...
