Hello,

I'm having a problem with exporting some DV PAL footage I"ve been editing. In FCP, it looks great (as good as mini dv footage can look, i guess...) but when I send to Compressor, and try to export, the preview is showing really bad interlacing lines, and it just looks terrible!

I've chosen MPEG-2 5.0 Mbps 2-pass for the video, and Dolby Digital Professional 2.0 for the audio. When I go into the settings for the video, i can only choose from 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios, and obviously I need 5:4.

This is to burn onto DVD, so I need the best quality possible, does anyone have any advice they can give me for exporting formats etc?

Thanks
J
