    Hi all

    Ive recently finished a project shot on HDV and 720p and burnt to dvd
    I worked under a HDV50i codec, I rendered with best settings with high precision YUV, and compressed using compressor 2pass 6.5/7.9.

    Problem. The finished DVD looks O.K but It is noticable(especially in scenes with motion that peoples faces and skin tones look ‘cartoonish’
    ie, if you were to make a face in photoshop using the colour brown then add shading areas with a slightly different shade of brown and then blur the two. comprende?

    Theres no filter or anything like that applied and its not ridiculous but it is noticable.

    Is this maybe the limitations of shooting HDV and mpeg compression or Am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

    Any suggestions?
