    Digital TV on MAC?

    Looking For Advanced Slideshow Control

    1) i don't know 2) that's not posible.. beamers have a limited resolution, say 1024x768 or 1280x1024 for an expensive one.. they're not by far close to slide-projectors, which are limited in resolution only by the grain of the slides. so i'd scan them on a resolution at which the resulting...
