<p>What initial setting should I be using in Premiere CS4 if I shot video on a Samsung HMX-q10 camera but shot in standard definition? When I tried DV NTSC the video looks very bad, like it's somewhat pixellated. When I view it on Windows media player the video looks good.
The properties on the clips are: 720x480 59 fps. </p>

Could you maybe include a screenshot of how the video looks when imported in a DV NTSC sequence? Your footage seems to be NTSC as it is 720x480 interlaced (according to the specs of the camera).
