I just got Premiere and am learning it slowly but surely. This short I'm making was shot in 1080/24p. When I encode and burn to DVD, it looks very interlacy especially when my actress is moving around. (I'm playing it on a 42 inch plasma.) Is there anything in my settings I should be doing differently? Also if I wanted to post to youtube or vimeo would the settings be different than a TV?

I tried right clicking on the clip and changing the field setting to "Always deinterlace" and that seemed to work. Why do I have to do that? I did this for all my clips. I still have some slight interlace issues on some of the faster motion parts. Most of it is gone though. (I had large interlace lines equal to about 1/20 of the screen height.)

Also a few more questions.

When I choose H.264 for exporting and I choose HD TV 1080 24P, it wants to save it in an .mp4 format. Is this correct?

I'm using Windows DVD Burner (the one that came with my computer) to burn and it does not want to burn mp4 files so I'm still using .avi format. Does Premeire come with DVD burning capabilities or do I need to purchase the DVD authoring software?
 
Export as "MPEG2-DVD." With your Sequence settings, it should automatically set up for exporting a 23.976 MPEG-2 file, which can then be put to DVD as 24p, eliminating the interlace artifacts if played from a progressive-scan DVD player. (If it doesn't automatically do that, change the frame rate to 23.976 and the field order to "none (progressive)."

Premiere should come with Encore, the DVD authoring program.

You would never want to export as something like H.264 or MPEG-4 or WMV for DVD, because they are all highly compressed, interframe codecs and will have to be re-compressed to MPEG-2 for DVD. You will have lost a lot of information already, and then what's left would be compressed for more loss.

HOWEVER, you may wish to export as 720/24p (P2 format) first, THEN bring that into a 720/24p timeline and THEN export as MPEG2-DVD, as sometimes the conversion from 1080 directly to 480 isn't so good. See which way works best.
