I am trying to make a quicktime move in iMovie 4.0 on my Mac running 10.3 and I am trying to do a slide show of my photos. I want to beable to burn the slideshow on to CD's to give to friends but the picture quality is so bad.

I know that I can create a slideshow in iPhoto and it looks great there but I can't do all of the nifty effects that iMovie has to offer. Is there something I am missing or something that I could do to make the photo quality much better in iMovie? The pictures themselves are great quality taken at 1280x960 pixels so I know it's not the pictures causing the trouble. Any suggestions?

PAL resolution is only 720x576 maybe that's the reason the quality is lower.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Yep. TV resolution is lots lower than the computer monitor.
Burn the VideoCD/DVD then try it in DVD player on a TV, the quality will be fine.

I think I figured it out! I am currently set to NTSC and playback mode at High Quality, but I checked 'Enhanced Video Playback' check box and that cleared the image up ALOT
