When I rendered at 960×480 AVC the titles came out without aliasing. I think the video fidelity is also better – but I have to look more critically.

Great point. I’m using an older iPad – so not the retina display. Display ppi is 132. My iPad mini is 163 ppi. The comparison I’m using first is my 1080p 72 ppi monitor – where I can scale the viewing window.

My sequence settings are 720×540 with a pixel aspect of 1.0 as determined by my source material.
By concatenation are you saying that the video content will be further deteriorated by recoding a 2nd time? If so, that makes sense. I haven’t worked on optimizing titling yet – just wanted to start with a known workflow for SDV content.
I probably had the wrong aspect of my export so I’ll re-look at that.
I can play around and turn all of the knobs, but I’m kind of surprised that there isn’t a standard workflow many people have figured out years ago when producing content based on a plethora of SDV content rendered on modern devices.

Yes and there is the loss of video fidelity as well as fuzzy titles. I know M-JPEG/DV is a lossy codec, but it’s my source.
ANY conversion will look worse than the original – that I expect. What puzzles me is that the iPad can render M-JPEG – but not sure which container format. I’m wondering if I should just export to H.264/5 High Profile and go back and edit in titles/transitions and export again to H.264/5. This may yield the best result.
I can try this workflow, but it seems like many people have solved this problem in the past with old camcorder video production, so I was hoping that an optimal workflow had been already well established.
Maybe this situation is not talked about much since MPEG2/MPEG4 camcorders have been around for many years.
