Converting HD 180I_60 to DV NTSC
I filmed a project in DVC PRO HD 1080I/60 and edited it in FCP with no problem. I converted the project to DV NTSC as a Quicktime self-contained mov file for burning in DVD STUDIO PRO. The video looked and responded normally in the view monitor of DVD SP, but when I burned it onto a disk it did not look all that great. It is fine until there is motion, then it is blurred similar to what video looks like when filming fast action with low shutter speed. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it?

Walter,
Converting your HD footage to DV codec is the problem. This is an extra transcoding of the footage and DV is not a good codec for many reasons. I suspect it is also causing you a field order swap, hence the jittery image on movement.
Either use compressor from FCP timeline (export to Compressor) or export a self contained quicktime in the original codec (DVCProHD) and then use Compressor to make your mpeg2 file for DVD Studio Pro. It means there is one stage of transcoding from your HD to a compatible mpeg2 file. You will find good presets in Compressor and as this has been covered hundreds of times here, a search of this forum will offer a vast storehouse of information on best settings and workflows.
