I am currently shooting with an HMC150. I shoot a lot of school sports, and the resulting DVD's are used to generate income for schools.

But now I have a problem. Half the time my finished DVD has incredibly bad jagged lines, that make the DVD absolutely undeliverable to the customer.

I shoot everything in 720/60p, and transcode to DVCProHD using the Main Concept transcoder off the Panasonic website. I then dump that into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and edit away. When done I export to Adobe Media Encoder, and set it to burn an SD DVD.

My settings were to use "16X9 NTSC High Quality" which is VBR 2 pass, quality set to "4"on their sliding scale (I move it to "5"). I think its NOT the "Progressive" setting, it is interlaced.

Does that matter? Never seemed to be an issue with productions made with My Canon XHA1....

The original SDHC chip plays back absolutely flawlessly in my Pana BD player, so I know my source material is good--and it looks great on the timeline when I am editing, as well.

How can I burn the highest quality SD DVD?
What settings should I be using?

My apollogies if this is so basic....But I really do need some help here--
Any help that you have would sure be appreciated!
