  DV is not a perfect codec, it is reducing color-resolution and it uses compression.

  This can be quite obvious if you have graphics with sharp edges and highly saturated colors. You may need to change your design for DV output.

  Hi Uli
  I have one graphic from photoshop and two pices of text generated in Motion. The background is black and the graphic and text are white. The graphic has sharpe edges so I will have a look at that one.
  Any other ideeas ?

  White text on black is a critical combination for DV – try to lower the contrast.

  And please have a look at this excellent article:

  (A very helpful site anyway).

  Hope this helps,
