Premiere CS5: HD 1280×720 30p to SD NTSC DVD
Hi,
I just finished editing my first CS5 project. Now I need to create a SD NTSC DVD. The original footage (timeline) is 1280×720 30p. What settings/preset/format should I use (i.e preset for MPEG-2 DVD)? Thanks! -

Please read this article by Adobe’s Todd Kopriva on GPU accelerated scaling in Premiere CS5 (and above).
https://provideocoalition.com/index.php/adobe/story/scaling_in_adobe_premiere_pro_cs5/
He explains how you will achieve higher quality scaling by using the Mercury Playback Engine, which uses the Lanczos 2 algorithm.
If you do not have a Mercury Playback Engine supported GPU, your downscaling of HD to SD will only use the bicubic algorithm, which is greatly inferior.
