    Hello,

    Here's my story: I purchased a PowerMac 933Mhz with Superdrive because I want to make my own DVDs. When I capture DV material for instance in iMovie it looks great, but as soon as I export it to DVD format (720x576, DV PAL - 25fps, audio not compressed) and import it in iDVD (or watch it in Quicktime Player) it looks awful: diagonal lines are frayed and the picture doesn't look too sharp. I burnt it on DVD but on DVD it lookes the same way... this is worse than VHS!

    Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong??
    Thanks a lot

    Marco

    For starters, are you sure you want to use PAL?

    Is your DVD player a PAL DVD player? You may want to give it a shot with NTSC.

    Forgot to tell: I live in Europe and we have the PAL standard here.
