  • best way to export something for tv?

    I know this is probably a common question, but I’m wondering what the best way to export something is if it is going to be viewed on a television set. I’ve tried exporting to quicktime movie, using quicktime conversion (no compression, best quality), and using compressor (dvd best quality 90 minutes 4:3). However, all of these appear to have scan lines / they are not great quality. Is there a way I can export this that will get rid of the scan lines? Do I have a setting wrong when I am exporting?

    Thanks

    also, just want to specify both video and audio are required to be uncompressed. Yet it still has to fit on a dvd-r (the data file, not a dvd with a menu or anything). This is about 6 minutes long so I’m hoping it shouldn’t be too hard to get it down to size. The first two exports (quicktime and quicktime conversion) were 7 and 9 gb each, respectively. The mpeg (compressor export) was much smaller but like I said, not great quality.

    Let me know if you need my system specs. It is a different comp than the one in my profile.
