Interlacing or HD problem? ...

Hi!
I know this isn't a new issue and I have been reading so much stuff online about it but I can't fathom what to do for the best, so wonder if anyone can help me? (please!)
I have a 14min video edited in imovie and shot with Sony HDR-HC3E camcorder which of course plays fine in imovie (sorry, also not sure if this is imovie or QT problem or both and also posted on the iMovie 6 HD section too), but when exported via QT, full-quality - I have those horrid jagged lines which appear on both my MBP and my TV (once burned to DVD).
This is for a showreel for a film-screening so I have been asked to provide a QT movie which can be compiled along with other QT movies.
One suggestion I have is that this is an interlacing problem and if I check the de-interlace feature in IMovie, then this will sort it out.
Then I have had a conflicting suggestion which says that it is the incompatibility between HD source and SD playback and I should be converting 'down' to SD via FCP.
I am in the middle of the de-interlacing in iMovie solution right now which promises a few hours wait so I am really worrying that this might be futile and that I have been barking up the wrong tree as it were.
Does anyone have an answer(s) to this dilemma?
Should I continue de-interlacing or do the HD to SD comversion, or neither or something else?
By the way, when I just dragged the iMovie file to iDVD and burnt it from there it produced a perfect picture to play on a SD TV but this file-type is no good for me.
A very big thankyou in advance for any help as I am truly confused, frustrated and fearing not getting anywhere, fast.
