You need a kona 3 or an equivalent for the downconversion. I assume you have the decks for beta and digi.
Fcp is awful at format conversions.

How is rendering out of your sequence in your native sequence settings a degradation of quality? It’s in essence a digital clone. It’s the exact same quality that your footage is. Think of it more like replicated once, compressed once. Not compressed twice.

If you get yourself a broadcast monitor it will play smooth on that one while capturing. But it’s really not an issue anyways.

[Nikki Francis] “I would (in a perfect world) like to take it straight off of FCP timeline as the quality is better.”
Huh? Just export a reference file (or self-contained if you prefer) out of FCP using your current settings. You shouldn’t lose any quality that way unless your sequence render settings are set to something sub-par from your sequence setup.

For MPEG Streamclip I’m not sure, never tried to do it that way. In Compressor there’s presets galore.

[Kylee Wall] “I’ve honestly never tried mp4 to mpg2”
Compressor will do it no problem. I’m not saying that it’s proper in any way, but I get .mp4’s from clients all the time that they want on dvd (just for viewing in a set-top player), and Compressor has no issues doing the conversion.
MPEGStreamclip I assume can do it as well.

When I hear 4×3 full frame I immediately thing they are saying 1.33 FF.
Funny, Fox Home Video insisted on this format until about 2 years ago for all of their domestic home video tv spots. Thank god that’s over.But yes, basically if that’s what you want, and your camera guys shot for 16×9, you’ll need to do a center punch and then pan/scan every shot. Doesn’t sound like fun.
I don’t understand what’s so bad about letterbox. I’d get more clarification from them.
