Inconsistent Quality

I just created my first movie using MS Movie Maker a few weeks ago. It was
fun and fairly easy. I purchased a Sony Double Layer/Dual Layer DVD burner
with Nero software. The quality of the DVD was great.

Now I've completed my second movie. I have saved the movie file on to my
laptop's hard drive as before ('To play on my PC' setting) and the quality of
this DVD is terrible. It is very fuzzy and when there is lots of movement -
lots of pixleation occurs.

I just tried taking a small clip and saving it a few different ways:
PC Settings
DV-AVI
High Quality Video (NTSC)

All of these samples result in the same terrible quality. I have done
anything differently, that I am aware of. Can anyone provide any insights?

Save it to your PC as a DV-AVI format. This should produce the best
results.

Cari, thanks, but as I mentioned, I did save the movie as DV-AVI and it still
is terrible quality. I'm so baffled because my first move came out so well.
Well, maybe someone else out there has experience the same thing, but found
the solution. :-)

Was there any difference in the source of the files......? When capturing,
did you actually capture in DV-AVI as well?
