DVD and computer screen

I hate to be asking silly question to some of you, but a my age, I need some help in determining why my computer screen looks sharper than the DVD I just burned of a animation…is it because I need to bump up my bit rate before burning to DVD? I was rendering a short animation of a still image to 1920x1080 HDTV 1080P using Raw AVI in blender, then I went to AVS video editor and set the ratio to 16:9 …the bit rate showed 224 kbs and MP2…?

where would I change the bit rate, is it in blender or when I get ready to burn a DVD in a video editor…I have Adobe premiere Pro2, but I can not seem to get it to work as good as this cheaper avs video editor…I believe if I use Adobe Premiere Pro2 I would have better results, but I do not have a tutorial on burning to DVD.

The resolution on a DVD is 720x480

If you want play an animation on your TV, burn it to a blu-ray, or put it on a thumbdrive and plug that into the TV/blu-ray player/game console, or stream it from your computer with one of those devices.

DVD = no HD = crappy.
