PLS Help with HD editing

Hello,


I'm a bit confused as to what settings I should be using when editing with HD clips. I shot HDV with my Sony FX1. When I captured on FCP, I captured in DV. My settings as of right now are:

Sequence Settings are:

NTSC DV (3:2) 720x480

Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC CCIR 601/ DV 720 x480.

Quicktime Video Settings:

DV/DVC Pro - NTSC

I tested the quality by exporting in DV-NTSC. And it looks horrible. The lines are jagged.

Is there anyway to fix this now or maybe in the future for my other projects?
PROBLEM 2:

I edited in HD and having problems burning the final product on SD. What is the best setting and process to get the a really good quality video. I have read to export Apple ProRes 422, or ProRes 422 (HQ). I don't have this in my export setting. I have Final Cut Pro 5.1.4. I do see Apple Intermediate Codec.

Please help. thnks!
