highest quality downconvert?
ive been using compressor and dvd studio, but the videos come out pretty crummy. what settings should i use for an hour or less video?
i edit in hdv, i have a g5, the kona lhe card, and a hdv tape deck. is there a better way to get it to a dvd?
gracias

You can capture to DVCPRO HD with your Kona and would join the company of many here who do this. Compressor pretty much scales HD files down to SD automatically, you have to tell it how to crop it, and there are a few quality settings you can mess with. I don’t know what Compressor does with HDV, that format scares me.
How are you doing this now?

Cadobee- You didn’t mention HD or SD. I’m guessing SD. We digitize 8-bit uncompressed SD (edgecrop) from the component out of our HDV deck through our Kona LH. We edit FCP 8-bit uncompressed and are very pleased with our results both for DVD and output to Betacam. This way we avoid all the HDV mpeg edit issues.
Hope this helps.

i dont really have the room for dvcpro hd, so for now im importing in hdv.
maybe for a finished product, i could print to tape hdv, then reimport in dvcpro hd, then downconvert lastly to sd.i also dont think i can handle uncompressed anything. ill try that out though.
