  HD to SD DVD

  Posted by Ralf Meyer on April 7, 2008 at 9:35 pm

  Hi folks,

  I’d like to double check on the workflow to get the best quality from HD
  onto a SD DVD. It’s a 15 min piece shot in DVCPROHD 1080i60.
  Here’s what I’m doing:

  Option1) FCP timeline DVCPROHD 1080i60 – export to Apple ProRes 422 HQ SD
  720×480 16×9 (nothing else checked) – send to Compressor DVD Best Q 90min
  16×9 Preset –author in DVD Studio Pro.

  Option2) Instead of going to ProRes 422 HQ – export as self contained QT
  with current settings – everything else the same.

  I do not have the ideal (high end) hardware to compare final DVD’s – however
  option 1 seems to be the better i.e cleaner & smoother result.

  Better? suggestion

  Thanks
  Ralf
