    Dear readers,

    In your experience, which compression product yields the highest-quality results when compressing an HD animation file to SD .m2v on a Mac Pro: Cinema Craft Encoder, Episode, Digigami MegaPEG.X, etc.

    I need to invest in one and would appreciate your informed opinions.

    The best SD encoder I’ve used is bitvice. We get professional looking DVD’s from this, but at the moment it cannot convert HD to SD so we do that in FCP prior to sending the files to bitvice.

    For most work however, we just use Compressor as it can easily convert HD to SD and make the m2V file.
