Welcome, Les.
There are basic needs for the volunteers here to give some guidance.
A good start is to supply us with a DXdiag, a summary of your machine's innards, including driver dates.
Please follow PART B, but you should take a look at the others, just to be familiar with the forum.
Please, PART B. !attached!

How long is the video you are burning to the DVD?

I have found that burning too long of a video compromises quality to a suprising extent.

In my exp, anything over 60mins looks terrible on a normal 4GB DVD.

Hmmmmmmmmm... most of my projects are well over an hour and always look exactly as I made them... But I never use HD video and it is mostly photos and scanned photos, with hundreds of titles and transitions....

Another reason not to go with HD.... more trouble than it is worth....

oh, i almost forgot, I noticed a large improvement when "creating a folder" to store the DVD files, before burning them. it should be an option in your "burn" dialouge.

edit: that and using high-quality DVD-R discs works best, don't use that cheap crap, lol

I only know one way to burn a DVD with more than 1 hour with quality. the video must be in a format that links SVRT3, it is possible to maintain the original quality.
Other than that I do Producer in MPEG2, then mount the DVD in another Cabinet Software
PD also does not create DVDs in progressive mode, only interlaced
