How can I make my MPEG2 files look better? (using TMPGEnc)

[caiman]

I'm burning some TV shows to DVD-R, and the source files themselves (before converting to MPEG2) have quite a bit of artifacting when I play them fullscreen on my computer. When I burn them, they look a little better on my TV, but I still notice the blockiness. What can I do to clean up the video during encoding to help this problem? Should I use a filter? Are there some settings on TMPEnce I should be using?

Try this guide. Although it was written by a Dazzle card user, the TMPGEnc settings should help you anyway. Hope this helps!
