  [Matt Goldschmidt] “what is the BEST encode settings?”

  I’m mot trying to be cagey, but the best encoding settings vary from project to project.

  [Matt Goldschmidt] “Field order – ?????”

  Depends on your source material. DV is lower field 1st.

  [Matt Goldschmidt] “Bit Rate – ???”

  Depends on how much material (total # of minutes, including extras) is going on how big a disk.

  [Matt Goldschmidt] “Max Bit Rate – ???”

  No higher than 7 for disks being burned on a desktop. That assumes that you’re compressing your audio with aPack.
