im sorry if i put this in the wrong place, im not even sure if it is posting or not, this is the 2nd time i have written it.

hi, this is my first post. i have searched everywhere for a way to help me with the problem i am having, but to be honest, i dont even know what to search for. i have read so many photoshop help pages etc.. but i still havent found anything.

make animated cartoons, and i use photoshop to color the pictures. they look awesome until i put them into a video. in the video, the quality is horrible. for example if i fade a color in photoshop, once animated, it isnt a fading color anymore, it turns into a bunch of big pixels. even if i use the animation part of photoshop, it comes out great, until i put it in a video.
the research i have done, really confuses me, although i am a terrific artist and all that (so im told) i dont know the "shop talk" of photoshop or anything. so i am just going to leave as much info as i can and hope that someone has an idea that may help me.

im using photoshop cs3 extended.
the pictures i load into ps to color are 1024×576
the resolution is 96
its RGB color 8bit
color profile is "adobe RGB (1998)"

these videos dont get published online, they are burned to dvd’s.

when i save the pictures, i just save them as jpeg. thought i had seen somewhere where it said that you had to set the color for NTCS???? am i making any sense to anyone? im confusing myself

Which software are you using to make the videos? Is each image one frame of the video or are you making a slideshow of stills? More info may help with your problems.

Because you are putting the images onto a DVD, I am assuming these will be played back on a TV. You will need to determine what image size you want to use that will fit the TV. 1024 x 576 is PAL not NTSC. If you are not in the US, please let us know.
The NTSC standard for the US is:
Standard Definition: 720×480
High Definition: 1280×720 or 1920×1080.

For still images to become an animation save each image as a sequence. For a fade to work the fade must appear over several images.

I highly recommend that if you plan on doing a lot of this, then you should think about getting after effects, it will make your job way easier.
