i'm a total newbie to all this. i've read the manual and tried following it to a "t" but my results don't seem to have much quality. i'll explain later.

could someone walk me through/tell me what i'm doing wrong with the proper process of capturing clips - rendering - making sure it'll work fine with DVD-Arch? (99% of the things i'll do are going to be DVD burns of family stuff.. i don't need to make badwidth friednly movies)

this is what i'm doing/getting:

using sony trv-140 let's say i take a couple of vids. some stuff zoomed in all the way and some not. no effects or anything. just staright shooting. that all works fine. then...

i capture the clips i want with vegas. that all works fine. so now i've got, for example, 4 raw .avi files of captured clips. that all works fine.

trim them a little here and there with the trimmer, use stock effects here and there (nothing fancy - just "brighten" for example). put them into the timeline and put text here and there. that all works fine.

don't touch audio tracks at all- i leave them as is

go to file -> render as
select
type: main concept mpeg2
template: DVD NTSC

renders..
but, and here's the issue, sometimes i'll see what looks like venetian blinds on the edges of things.. usually more apparent during panning or zooming shots..

yet i don't see it (those annoying blinds) in the raw footage when i hook the sony right up to the TV through the sv out.

can anyone help up until here?

thanks kind soul! :)
