Pixellated pictures

My pictures in the slideshow creator all look pixellated. When I preview them on full screen they are seriously pixellated. What can I do about this?

I'm wondering what the native resolution of your images might be. If you are shooting digital with highly-compressed JPEG files, then pixelization is inherent, especially if you are using a point-and-shoot and it is set to maximize the number of images you can fit on the memory card. Check your camera's image quality setting and ensure that it is set for the highest quality JPEG file. Of course, if you are an advanced amateur photographer and you shoot RAW... disregard. In that case, I don't have an explanation as I do shoot RAW, post-process in Lightroom and PS5, and my images are high-resolution. My camera is the Nikon D300.

Ficus451, I was just taking a stab at why your images were pixelating, and it looks like I was wrong in my assumptions. I created a .wma file and played it in RealPlayer. It was unacceptably pixelated! However, the video file I created and burned to DVD played beautifully in my wife's computer with Realpalyer but will not play in my machine. As a DVD, it plays acceptably well on a digital TV but the sound quality - for some reason - is not CD-quality. It is on said wife's computer.
