I imported videos ranging from 1:10 to 1:45 in length using Media Import.  Then, using both DVD Express and MyDVD, burned them to disc.  I used both "Fit to Disc" and "Best" setting the Mbs so it would fit.  The disc drive is set to write at 4X.  (I also added memory so I have 1024MB on Windows XP (SP2), but that didn't seem to help.)  When viewing the discs, any fast movement or panning up/down, right/left or in any direction results in "jittery" motion.  It's as though its trying to catch up with itself, that is, the movement is not smooth.  When I view the video through Media Player, they seem OK with little or none of this effect.  But, when the disc is viewed, it is quite obvious.

Any recommendations will be really appreciated.

Thanks, but my problem is not "jagged" edges.  Rather, it's as though frames were "missed".  That is, when panning or in motion, what is seen is like a "view", then the next "view" is like a fraction of a second later with no intermediate motion.  I know I'm not being clear.  Maybe it's best said this way.  If you raise your arm, one "frame" (not the right word) shows it at one point, but the next "frame" shows it a couple of inches higher, almost like still photographs with a second between.

Try this; instead of using "fit to Disc" select "save to image file" (uncheck the burn to disc option and ignore the Warning message) to create an image file (iso). Remember the name and folder of where the file is stored. Then use DiscCOpier to burn that iso file to a DVD. A standard 4.7GB DVD will only hold 60 minutes of video at best quality. Since you have more then 60 minutes at best quality it has to be compressed and many of us have found that "Fit to disc" does a poor job while the iso/DiscCopier ,ethod seems to give a better result.
