If by DV artifacts, you mean interlace artifacts, then just de-interlace with virtualdub/tmpgenc/whatever. (But ofcourse don't do this, if you're going to end up making a videotape/DVD with your DV material.)
If DV artifacts are something else, that I'm not aware of, then I can't help, but will be glad if someone could tell me about it!

They look like colored blocks...they appear randomly, especially
the areas with transitions/video effects...

I render from DV to DV format from Slave- to Master HD...
( What is the best way to render?
Slave > Slave
Master > Master
Master > Slave
Slave > Master ? )

I use Premiere 6 with Pinnacle DV500 Plus

computer:
Dell Dimension 8200
P4 1,8 Ghz. -- 256 RDRam
60 GB Master HD 72000 RPM (DMA mode 5)
40 GB Slave HD 72000 RPM (DMA mode 5)
Windows XP Professional

Can somebody help me ?

Hm! I've noticed such errors in video a few times! Discovered, that they only occured when I recorded in long play mode. I've never seen any on a recording done in short play mode!?!

I notice them from time to time, when the video sync signal is weak.This happens when converting analog video with (for example) the HW bridge.Sometime Digital Noise Reduction can confuse the A/D converter to.Using a video enhancer make things better (but not too much).
And bad settings in the PC whilst capturing (dropped frames look alike the colered blocks).
And yes, LP recordings make things worse.Best ist direct capturing from receiver, then SVHS than SVHS-ET (SP) and then VHS SP.LP ist worst.

I don't get artifacts with capturing...I get them when I render the final project... I export to HD, not to tape...

Can somebody tell me how to get rid of artifacts, when exporting to HD ?

[mrtristan]

What's your final format?

[MysteryMan]

I render/export from DV format to DV format...
