SLIDESHOW....not happy with quality...how can I fix these issues?

Question

I just finished up a 16 minute slideshow for a client. I used FCP and Motion 3 to create it. I used the same export settings I would use for a video project. I noticed that all pictures that had any kind of movement to it, had noticeable interlaced lines going through it or had artifacts. Even some of the transitions like the Push Slide or Cube Spin were jerky and not smooth. Let me be clear and say that I did not really notice these issues when I was editing. I noticed these things after I created the DVD and watched it on 2 different televisions.
So I am wondering a few things.
Do I select all clips and and DE-INTERLACE them?
" " with any kind of motion and add a gaussian blur to them?
I even noticed interlaced lines going through my company logo too which I never have seen happen before.
Should I have used a different export codec like Animation or something.
In FCP, I had my timeline set up as Apple ProRes 422 NTSC 48 and Capture to DV NTSC 48
Now my project is complete, is there anything I can do to fix this issue other than what I suggested I try above?
This video is for a client and I want to make sure it looks right before I give it to them.
Thanks

The field dominance option is in your sequence settings.
Look at the menu bar then go to Sequence>Settings.
You'll get a pop up window that has options which will change the properties of your sequence. You can change all sorts of stuff but the option you are looking for is in the middle of the box.
Field Dominance... change that to none. Leave the rest alone
Re export as a QT movie.... I would go to
File>Export>QuickTime Conversion.
Format = QucikTime Movie and click on the options box.
Click on the settings button for video.
Change the compression type from whatever it is to animation. Make sure the quality slider is set at best.
Leave the settings alone. Click OK or.. save
Got grab a snack and wait for it to export. Once it's done locate that QT file and burn it using iDVD
I've never burn a DVD using iDVD but am going to assume you know what you're doing with it.
Spend a little time with DVDSP when you get a chance. If you just used Apple Motion and FCP to make a slide show DVDSP will be a good asset for you.
Hope that help.... nothing like putting a lot of time and effort into something just to have it look terrible. Been there too many times myself.
-Good luck.
