ANY Premiere/Encore Experts out there?!!

I need help!

I'm seeing small artifacts on my crawls when I export to DVD

Out of alittle knowledge and trail & error,
I got my 720x486 footage to look good through EncoreDVD.

****

I exported it out of Premiere with Export -> Movie. My settings are...

- Uncompressed AVI
- Saved as 720x480
- Progressive

When I insert it into EncoreDVD, I select Upper Frame under File -> Edit Quality Presents.

How do I get the artifacts (little dots next to my crawling text) to go away? They are only displaying on my crawls. Interlacing is fine, and I see no ghosting.


**** - Just a side note, I found out earlier today that EncoreDVD does not transcode to 720x486, it transcodes to 720x480.
It actually takes out 3 lines on top and 3 lines below.
By doing this, it changes the fields order opposite to what it was on (because 3 is an odd number to take out). That is why I am outputting progressive through Premeire. Both Upper and Lower fields give me heavy interlacing with moving objects.

I tried turning the Optimized Still off in Premiere, but it didn't do anything.
