I use an EVO9650 and find the quality outstanding (as long as you keep the generations to a min). I have found however that I have to start with a very low-saturated image because saturation and contrast will increase rapidly. Try to run all your frames through Photoshop's VIDEO -NTSC color check. Usually rendered files have lots of "illegal" saturation that will bleed horribly when tranferred to video. Sometimes it is neccesary to lower saturation even more than the NTSC check does. Also check for features in you rendering that might be creating "moire" patterns because they are beyond the resolution of video (closely spaced lines or textures that interfere at a certain frequency). Hope this helps -Arturo
