The problem occurs because NTSC DV uses 4:1:1 chroma subsampling, and DVD MPEG-2 uses 4:2:0 - you end up with a low resolution for the chroma. Reds and blues are the most obvious.

I haven't used NTSC DV myself, but I understand the solution is to use VirtualDub's chroma smoother filter on the video before compression to MPEG-2.
