[MacDV] Quality Stills in imovie look awful and jaggy on the DVD

Following help from this site and elsewhere, I have scanned all the photos
again using the colour setting on my scanner and I have rebuilt the
sequence. I have cleared space on my hard drive so there is plenty of space
and ensured that each photo has the Ken Burns effect on. Again it looks fine
in imovie but I get the same problem with a poor quality image in the first
two photos after the video sequence once the disc image is created.



I have worked out how to grab a sequence from the DVD and here is the link.
NB that the video is originally in colour and has had the black and white
and aged film effects applied. The problem comes in the first two photos
after the video of the church. (sorry the music is rather loud!)

I am using PAL standard definition DV.



I have tried outputting to Quick Time and this does lessen the effect but
the chapter markers don't carry over to iDVD.



I would very much welcome further advice, please
