Grainy video trouble

I have used Sonic DVD, Cyberlink Powerdirector, and have just downloaded the trial version of ULEAD. After I capture my camcorder and VCR tapes with a Plextor video coverter into my laptop I get real clean nice MPEGs.

But after I use any of these programs to burn my videos to dvd, they appear on the tv and in my windows media player as distorted and grainy. So with all these programs, even when I take perfectly good looking MPEG files and DONT edit then and just burn them straight to DVDs they still come out looking horrible.

My computer is only a year old and has top notch video capabilities. I have a large amount of free disk space and over 1 gig of ram.

I cant understand this.

Any help much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Keiblitz

Why do you capture mpeg? Your files may get re-encoded for burning because they do not match your project settings or DVD standard.
