Showing Documentary @ Theater

Hello...
I'm showing a documentary I've made, at a local theater this week, and I'm running into a problem.
The theater has asked for it on DVD, which I thought wouldn't be a problem, until I watched my final edit, off a DVD, played on a projector, and my graphics looked real bad. Up until today, I've been monitoring on a TV, and this was my first time to watch through the projector.
I'm guessing this has something to do with either resolution of the projector or the progressive/interlaced issue... because when I watch my DVD on my TV it looks amazing...but either way I want my project to look it's best on the big screen.
So I'm looking for some advice as to the best way to show it in the theater.
My project is DV, 720x480.
These are the options I'm thinking about...
1) Export to tape, and bring in the deck and play off that. Only problem is I only have a miniDV deck and my documentary is over 2 hours long.
2) Export to Quicktime: I could export progressive using H.264, and play it off my laptop. I'm nervous about this option because of playback issues, and I'm wondering if the quality will be any better than DVD.
3) Just play the DVD, and get over the fuzzy graphics... everything else looks great in mp2, just the graphics are fuzzy.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks
