[X4U] Video (MPEG2) Help, PLEASE -

[Jeffrey Stormshak]

Kevin -
How did they turn out (video quality-wise) when you play them on any  
TV??  Have you viewed it via a Progressive Scan DVD Player?  The  
reason I ask is that my DVDs are turning out with really bad skid-ish  
movement of fast moving items such as Titles, Hand Movements, etc.   
I'm assuming that its because I haven't found the correct setting for  
this during the export process - Of course, none of this happens on  
my Apple Monitor nor DVD Player, nor Quicktime 7.x as well.  Go figure -

Just wanted to get your thoughts and results from your feedback -
Thanks in advance -
J.
