    Qt reference works great. Links to the original media used in the project and does not take up any additional drive space in doing so. The QT reference can be used in most if not all DVD encoders be it for SD or HD or directly in the authoring program.

    You won’t get better quality if you go to another format, even uncompressed – just additional time and storage.

    What dvd authoring application do you recommend?

    Yes, QT Reference is great, but you can’t use QT Reference with Long GOP formats (HDV). You need to export a full QT or an M2T file.

    I personally use Avid to cut on my Mac, then use Compressor and DVD Studio Pro. But, Adobe Encore is really nice with some features (like making a Flash file) that are really nice.

    If using Long GOP, you can transcode sequence to DNxHD first, then do a QuickTime reference. It may be faster. I do like authoring in Encore myself, but I encode using Rhozet Carbon Coder.
