Interlaced HDV 1080i to SD DVD work flow tips.
I am interested in other what companies work flow is when dealing with HDV 1080i footage with an end goal of SD DVD.
What do companies do to minimize problems on playback (interlacing lines)?
Any advise appreciated.
Cheers

You don´t have to do anything special regarding interlace artifacts when making SD-DVD from HDV.
I have been really disappointe because of poor quality of final DVDs until I figured out this workflow in Final Cut Studio 1:
1. Apply the “Sharpen” filter and set the value to “30”.
2. Export using Compressor with preset “DVD 16:9 90 minutes Best Quality” or something like that. Also select Dolby for sound.
3. Import to DVD Studio Pro.Interlace artifacts will be gone, quality will be OK in my eyes.
It was the extremely high setting of the “Sharpen” filter that made a difference for me. In HDV it looks strange, but not in DVD.
