SWF to ENCORE to DVD

Has anyone ever created a file in flash, render it out to AVI or MOV, imported
in into ENCORE (applying menus, chapter markers, etc), then using AUTOMATIC
ENCORE settings for DVD rendered to a DVD WITHOUT getting a blurry quality?

I was successful in the process until I got to the part where ENCORE built to
DVD with 16:9 aspect ratio and AUTOMATIC settings. (playback of the disc was
blurry - other than that, everything was perfect).

Am I missing something, doing something wrong or is ENCORE incapable of giving
me a higher quality without having to resort to Blu-ray???

Thanks in Advance.

I never tried that kind of workflow, but in general you need to avoid format
conversions like the plague.

Wow... OK, thanks Harm.

I see what you are saying, I had about 3 conversions on the way to completion in
Encore:

(original animations created in flash, flash published to SWF, SWF converted to
AVI, AVI built to DVD (and I'm assuming was pressed to MPEG2 in the process).

Is there anyway that I can work around this? I'm at a loss but still
researching.

Thanks for the explanation - It really helped demystify the issue.
