  What is causing these artifacts and how to fix?

  I am quite confused. I gave a DVD to a client who claims they noticed interlacing issues while playing it back, however I did not notice any of these issues on my own DVD player.

  I took the DVD to work and did notice the issue slightly on the set up over there.

  The project consists of 50i and 25P material and has a resolution of 1440. I encoded the DVD using DVD Studio Pro and the run time is close to 2 hours (DVD5). The file I output from FCP is a ProRes 422 HQ file which looks fine on the computer. I even dragged the final prores file back into FCP and looked at it on a broadcast monitor, all looks fine.

  I am really confused what is causing the issue. Is it just bad compression, over compression or actual interlacing?

  Please help me solve this mystery.

  It was a long time ago. The project has been lying a long time around to get fixed. I remember just using DVD SP to do the encoding, I made it fit it to a DVD – 5.
