Nerovision7..VCD's Bad quality

[rivrbyte]

Hiyall!
I have a 1.2 GHz AMD processor with 256 SdRam ,WindowsXP Home(sp2) Nvidia Geforce MX 4000 as a AGP card. using NERO Ultra 7 software. I wanted to make a Video CD (VCD) Slide show using Nerovision4, about 75 .Jpgs and a few mp3 songs as some background music.

I also used the 800x600 medium 16 Bit display it said worked best. Is it the 4:3 ratio? Can I change it to make it look better? Video mode-NTSC.

When I replayed it back on my DVD player,it was the most terrible quality ever..the music sounded great,bit the pictures looked distorted and kind of broken up. Was it because the proceesor is too slow,the AGP is not very fast,the 256 memory,or all the above?

Eventually I want to get a faster processor and at least 2 giggys of Ram,and a current AGP card or express when I can afford a new computer,but am I stuck with this poor quality of VCD's for now with what I have?

What would be the ideal set up for me to think about,since when I do get new stuff, I want to be able to transfer old Analog (vhs)Camcorder tapes to a DVD with the best (analog) possible. There are Camcorder to DVD plug in cords to transfer,but are they as good as the Bigger software Video Editing products? Thanks for answering my myriad of questions.
