When I was making my grand daughters graduation video back in my PD12 days, I had problems getting nice images from the video I produced onto DVD.
Someone here on the forum told me the pixelation was from PD resizing images from large images to DVD format and told me if I'm going to put it on DVD, I need to include videos and images in a similar resolution.
I knew I was going to be making DVDs. All the images I had that were greater than 2MP, I just resized them in half.
I use media Converter to convert videos and Paint.net for images. As long as the videos and images were slightly larger than 720x480, I had no problems.
I later found out, that my step son wanted me to show the video. So I had to go back and replace the resized images with the originals so I could project in 1920x1080.
I believe the problem for this thread was taking 8MP images and compressing to DVD format. I don't understand why that would have been a problem. I've never needed to use images greater then 2MP, so I never had a problem.
