Big problems! 24p & FCEHD/DVD

Hi, I really, really need some help here. I use Final Cut Express HD. I just last week bought the DVX100A. I traded in a HDV cam for it. I'm pretty new to all of this stuff. I need to output my standard 24p footage to DVD using Final Cut Express HD. I tried it a few times with horrific results. I need to be able to watch the footage on a standard interlaced television. When I outputted a few times the footage looked so stuttery and jittery it was hard to look at. Then I tried another way of doing it and finally the footage's motion looked much better, but, now the whole picture looked weird. Like a mosaic looking almost. With the pixels all large and weird. Can someone please tell me how to output my 24p footage correctly to DVD so I can watch it on an interlaced television??? please, please, please??? LOL

I can't figure out how you all make these movies using this camera and have them look so great. I just can't figure it out. I was told, actually, guaranteed I could use Final Cut Express to edit my 24p footage with however it does it. 29.97 I believe? and then output it onto dvd and have it look like it looks when I hook the DVX straight to my television with audio/video cables. But, I just can't figure out how to do that. Please if anyone knows anything, I'd appreciate it so much you have no idea.......THanks in advance.
