Interlacing(?) DVD Issue

HELP! I am trying to submit for a competition and, after exporting a QT then burning a DVD and subsequently playing back through a regular television monitor, my video looks jagged (offset rectangular shaped) and weird. It particularly happens when there is alot of motion in the shot. It looks horrible... this is a real problem.
I've been working on it for two weeks and have tried all types of different resolutions and export settings but nothing helps. At this point, all the cute dvd menus can't help an actual project that looks bad so I'm thinking about just doing a hard, crash record/burn directly to a DVD recorder. But I'd like to be able to try something else to preserve a bit more professional look to the DVD menu if I can, first.
Any suggestions? I have a feeling it might be an interlacing issue... but have never run into this before... I'm perplexed.

You will need to mixdown all of your video before exporting the QT reference. Sounds rediculas but better still. lay it off and recapture it, if using Avid DVDit as your motion effects will still show interlacing if not. This is not Avid DVDit's bi=ug, it's Avid's. The meridien line did not have this issue nor does DS.
if using encore or something of the like, you can get away with just mixdowns... still a drag for storage.

Just checking the obvious things... is your project set to the same standard as your video (PAL/NTSC)? It could be trying to transcode when it burns. I know with Toast it defaults to NTSC, as do most American made products.
