DV video clips with Zooming and Panning - grainy quality on render

I am doing a simple 10-minute documentary using .jpg stills with zooming and panning on my A/B track without a problem.... the quality is crystal clear. However, I have a few "interview/narrator" clips shot with a DV Camcorder (Perfect quality) that I place in the timeline. I have used the panning and zooming on these clips, to bring the person interviewed into a full screen shot. After I rendered the project to .AVI using DV/NTSC templates, the final product is crystal clear on the zooms and panning for the still .jpg clips, but grainy and poor video quality on the DV video cips with panning and zooming applied on them. I tested the project without panning and zooming on the DV clips, and the output is crystal clear.

Does anyone have fix for my problem? I have attempted to get information from the support gods at Sonic Foundry, with no success. Thanks.

OK, thanks. I'll research this some more..... it's interesting that the support people at Sonic Foundry could not even give this much information. I appreciate it, I've been banging my head against a wall on this.

That's not what I meant..... I actually e-mailed the tech folks directly, and they replied back several times with things to try. Not once did they realize that the answer was what you told me. Now that I heard it from you, it makes sense. I just don't know why the Sonic Gods couldn't answer the question. Also, I cannot get over the fact that they don't provide a detailed user's manual in hardcopy.... one thing Adobe Premiere is good at.

Thanks again for the good insight to my issue....
