composite scaling degrades output

We are creating several movies for DVD (720x480).. One of our movies' footage was captured at full D1 resolution (720x486).. When I bring the footage in and apply my treatments in a DV resolution composite, the rendered quicktime seems low resolution.. I wouldn't think just cropping 3 lines on the top and bottom would do this, but the quicktime is definitely degraded. I tested just bringing in the footage in a DV composite and rendering straight out with no effects applied, and the quality was still degraded..

Could it be the "feature" of QuickTime Player that defaults to NOT being set to "display high quality"? It's under Movie properties--> video track, I think.

Jeff,
Quicktime is set to high quality..
It sounds strange if you are cropping, rather than scaling the image. Have you tried de-interlacing it maybe?
I have tried de-interlacing, but the quality still suffers..
