1) Is the artifacting a product of changing MPEG types? There's Type 1
and Type 2. sounds like the capture default is Type 2, and DVD burn is
Type 1; both are MPEG II types. The difference is primarily the way
audio is handled, but that's what makes the problems you have. For
editing it's best to do type 2, for just capture and burn, type 1. You
can change the DVD burn to either type - check your software settings.
The DVD player will detect and play properly.
2) I would capture DV format as an avi file, then any editor, including
the free Windows Movie Maker (use latest version 2) will work. If not
on your computer, go to Microsoft and get it, it's free. Make sure you
check output for DVD burning and use the highest quality setting, or
output the edited file to another avi. WMM is not good at giving specs
for output. Make sure it's 720x480 and best quality. After editing
you render - can render to another avi file and let the DVD burning
software handle it, or you can render to MPG file. Then when burning
DVD make sure it doesn't render again - that will take more time and
reduce quality.
3) Did you play the DVD on a TV? Sometimes a computer will show the
artifacts when the TV won't. The file is interlaced and a computer
handles this different from TV. If burning for TV viewing - play on a
TV. You may not have a problem after all.
