Assuming your looking at the video on your TV with your DVD Player, the mpg is being shown at 200% its original size on a TV, and a computer monitor (depending on your screen resolution) is alot more detailed. Run your screen resolution at 800x600 and ZOOM windows media player to 200% (not "full screen"!) and you should get a decent representation of what the final product will look like... Not exact, but pretty close.

One reason why your video is horrible is that you probably burnt your file at a very high speed. Try burning 4X and lower and see if that helps. :P
