    When, for example, creating black color matte backgrounds for titles, they appear a bit “striped” (horizontal) om my tv. This unwanted effect is visible on my montor as well, but not as much.

    I don’t use completely black. I use the setting of 12. Premiere Help suggests 16, but this makes the stripes more apparent.

    Anybody know what I’m talking about? If so, is there any remedy for this?

    Yes, I know what you’re talking about. I used to use Premiere 5.1 with Digital Origin’s MotoDV. In those days, blacks were perfectly clean. When I switched to Premiere Pro, I noticed the same banding. I recorded some footage and then captured a frame. There are pixels at regular intervals that have a luminance value of 1 or so (rather than 0). The PPro DV codec (by MainConcept) simply isn’t as clean as Digital Origin/Radius’s used to be, but they’re not around anymore. (Which is okay, because overall, Premiere Pro is SIGNIFICANTLY more stable than Premiere + MotoDV was.)
