Jagged edges on panned video on burned DVD w/ MF4

[wpalm]

I have used MF2 in the past and recently ugraded to MF4. I have noticed jagged edges occuring on panned video burned onto DVD that did not occur with MF2. I do not see this effect on original digital tape or during editing on my computer. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

It's usually the field order the wrong way around. Are you editing the footage in MF4 or just putting mpegs onto dvd with the program?

Thanks for the reply. I use a Canopus program called Let's Edit RT to edit my video then create a reference avi file. I use MF4 to take the ref avi, do menus and burn the DVD.

I started out a couple of years ago by converting and saving all my 8mm analog video to DVD. About 6 months ago I bought a new digital video camera and recently upgraded to MF4. That's when I noticed the jagged edges on panned video. (slow or fast pan - fast is the worst)

I'm definately a novice and don't do very sophiscated editing. Simple titles, eliminating ground shots, fade ins & outs etc. I don't understand what you mean by "the field order the wrong way around." Please explain. Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
