By "edited version" do you mean re-encoded to MPEG2 and re-authored as
a DVD? Or do you mean simply played on the compter using Premier's
preview function? If re-encoded and re-authored, it could be that the
field-dominance has been flipped...IIRC Premiere uses "lower field" by
default, while DVDs require "upper field". Check your export settings.

Is the final destination for your edited video a computer? Or a DVD to
be played on a television monitor? If for TV, then it is nearly
impossible to judge the final quality on a computer monitor. If for
computer, then you might consider de-interlacing the original clips. If
for TV, then keep the video interlaced (or you throw away 50% of the
picture information.)
