Problems with dvd quality

ok, so i made my movie on final cut express, and used quicktime conversion to put it on i-DVD...but when i burn it the quality sucks, I've even tried making it HD quality which took almost a day to load, and the quality is like sketchy and everything seems spasmatic, and whenever there is fast action the skiers have lines through them.
does anyone know how i can fix this and make the quality better? any help would be great, thanks

I don't know anything about the specific software you are using... but, are you compression the video when it comes out of FCP express? You want to make sure that you export it in .dv or some type of raw format if you plan on burning it to a DVD.
Check the filesize of the movie you are importing into iDVD.. It should be a few hundred MBs and potentially a couple GBs if your movie is 20 minutes long or something.
Hopefully that helps a little.

it's also just standard software...i mean you didn't pay hundreds of dollars for the dvd software. it came with it.

Just because it's free doesn't mean the quality should be really crappy. It means that the software has a lot of limited functionality and customization compared to some of the higher end solutions.
A good test would be to take the file you exported from Final Cut and fullscreen it on your laptop and see how it looks. If it looks perfect then there must be something wrong with your iDVD. I'd be willing to bet that the file you got out of FCP will look crappy when you full screen it on your computer.
