When I try to add an AVI as a motion background, this video doesn't look very sharp. Why is this?

Converting VHS to DVD - DVD X Maker FAQs
Answer: This was a problem with some video cards that can't scale vertically by half properly in hardware de-interlace. The fix implemented is to simply not to de-interlace if the card can't support it, rather than failing. The result is that menu backgrounds may look low quality if they are not de-interlaced and the video has a lot of quick horizontal motion. Answer: Your video decoder is an old version.
