Correct. If you transcode as mpeg-2 (.m2v) 720×480, 29.97 fps, then you can tell Encore to not re-transcode it. Otherwise you will be forced to when you build the final disc. The only option you have is changing the bitrate, which affects the quality. Also, the audio can be either WAV/AIF or AC3 which will save file size. Usually people will use 8mb/s video and 192K/s AC3 audio.
By transcoding it before you use it in Encore, you save time when you build the final disc, and have a little more control over the quality.

all NTSC DVDs are 29.97. If you don’t transcode it that way, Encore will.

I know it doesn’t provide scripting, but it does ‘scripting-like’ things through the UI. I am on PC now, so no Apple option.

Not possible to animate for DVD menus. You can make a video that makes it look they’re fading in, then it put it in a timeline that jumps to the menu.

Too many variables at this point- the upscaling of the DVD players are all different. Some, like an xbox 360, do a pretty good job. Others don’t, so it’s hard to say if it’s an Encore issue. If it looks ok on your PC/Mac at SD 720×480 resolution (not scaled up or fullscreen) then it’s not a transcoding or other Encore problem.
