I think that the “progressive” export setting merely determines how the WMV should flag the resulting export. I don’t think it allows you to deinterlace during export. But it’s a guess.

I’m not familiar with the Invert option in AudioSuite. I do know that the 1-band EQ for instance has a phase inverter button. I usually use that to flip phase. You will need to render. Also, there might be a very slight processing delay, so it might be best to use the same AudioSuite effect on all tracks, but only flip phase on two of the four.

What are your system specs? Which version of AXP?
Also, check out this link: https://forums.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/displaywwugpost.fcgi?forum=avid_professional&post=060931095158.htm -
One allows you to capture in SD, the other in HD. But you can flip the project type switch afterwards. It’s more about what your main editing format is going to be.

Do they have the right Project association?

No.

When working with P2 in Avid, there is no need at all to convert to Quicktime. It would have been faster and better if you had brought the files into Avid, and kept them at their native resolution. I have no idea what flavor of QT you have converted to (hit CTRL-I in the QT player and it will tell you what codec is used) but from the 6 Mbps figure you mention, it does sound like a severe quality hit, coming from DV, which is 25 Mbps. Also, if you convert P2 media using FCP, you are very likely changing the gamma of the files, even more so if you chose H264, so by now, you are likely pretty far from the original. Sorry.
Drive space is cheap these days. Never throw away your originals. For file based media, have at least two copies at your disposal at all times.

Create an ordinary SD project (NTSC 30i), and either use AMA or “classic” Import P2 functionality to bring it into the Avid.
No need to reformat anything, 720×480 DVCPRO is just fine for Avid. Flip your source/record monitor to 16×9, and set any client monitors accordingly.
What are you exporting to / playing out to?

The 70% number is incorrect, the correct number would be 75% for properly sized letterboxing.
Other than that, anamorphic SD is a monitoring issue. Simply right-click on your record monitor and choose 16×9 displays. Done.

I’m pretty sure that the Avid uses the QT engine and the QT codecs it has access to. QT Pro is just a set of unlocked features in QT player, AFAIK.
