DV to DVD and to Xvid

[eRat]

I recorded girlfriend's gig with Panasonic NV-GS120 dv camera, used windows media player 10 with highest offered bitrate to save the files on comp. They use dvsd codec according to GSpot.

I'm planning on burning them on a dvd using tmpg(to convert it to format dvd player understands - Pal 4:3 - I live in Europe) and dvd lab to create animated menus, scenes and other stuff. I just started to learn both softwares. I also plan to have them in xvid format.

What bugs me is that when I play the video with pc all motion seems interlaced as in there are horizontal stripes where there is motion. Even slightest motion seems to generate those lines. I didn't notice them when I played it directly to television from DV camera. Is this related to de-interlacing? If so, should I deinterlace versions I am going to use in windows and leave the ones I plan one using in a home theathre interlaced? If not, is there anything I can do to get rid of the stripes? The quality is great otherwise and I assume it gets even better with noise reduction of tmpg.

I can povide a screenshot of the interlace effect if needed. I'm newbie with codecs, but I'd like to put together a nice dvd with some animated cg menus without too much hassle.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Here's a cropped screepcap at a time of a camera flash:

When there is no or very little motion these lines don't appear.

Answering my own question:

A helpful person in a quakenet channel told me that it really is interlacing thing. I used virtualdub's deinterlace - blending option and got rid of those nasty lines. Only problem is that the picture came a bit blurry. It seems only the very newest digicameras capture full frames which should have been option since digivideo cam was invented imo.

Well back to making a dvd.

Well not really as all TV is transmitted as an interlaced signal. Only those with a progressive DVD player get to watch a full frame picture, and then only on a TV set that can display it.
However PC's have a progressive display which will make video look poor on the monitor. You may well find that copying the interlaced video onto a DVD for replay on a TV may well result in a disc that looks ok.
