Wavy lines during video motion

[Hooklahoma]

My captures look fine when I'm playing them on my computer(mpeg or from disk), but when I burn them to DVD and play them on my TV I get artifacts that look like wavy horizontal lines when there is fast motion. Is there some sort of setting I can change on my TV or DVD player that can fix this? I have a JVC Progressive scan player.

Sounds like you're seeing interlacing which isn't being displayed properly due to your progressive scan player. It probably looks okay on the computer due to the software player you're using being able to adjust and display the interlaced video properly. I don't think Windows Media Player will adjust for interlaced video, so try watching the video in WMP and if you see the same wavy lines I think that's the problem. If this is the issue and you want to display on your progressive scan player, you'll need to reencode the MPEG to get rid of the interlacing. There are articles on this site on how to do this...just search on "interlacing".
