Expected MPEG2 Quality

[Richard_G]

Earlier you described the picture as 'grainy'. This is normal with most consumer DV camcorders if the light level is a bit low. As the shot you have posted is taken inside a bus, the subject may have been a bit lacking in light (in the shade). This would explain the noise on the picture which shows up as looking like the grain on high speed film. This noise give the mpeg encoder a hard time and requires a very high bitrate, higher than the DVD spec allows.

As edDV has already explained, if this had been shot professionally as a scene in a film, there would have been much more light aimed at the speakers face.
