I am trying to discover which film format works best when converted to PAL DVD.

This seems to depend on whether the DVD is viewed on a CRT TV or an LCD TV.

In a sequence I have just edited.

Me to camera, looks OK on LCD but on CRT my hair shimmers and the PC in the background (LCD screen) flickers and the part of the PC tower flickers.
This is not seen on the LCD.( could this be the video lights I used?)

Fimed using HQ 1080/25P shutter on 1/50 , edited in Vegas 8b with this setting and mastered to DVD using DVD Architect 4.5b.

I suspect what you're seeing is interlace twitter. I am unsure if the above settings handle it.
