Dear Dave,
Believe me, I am fully aware, that an SD picture can’t look like HD, but there is still a difference between lower resolution and artifacting, dancing lines, extreme pixilated edges – specially around red.
When I shoot stuff in SD with my DVX100B it never loos like that.
Ando for the field order: As I wrote above – it’s shot, edited and exported in 25p – also in compressor it’s handled as 25p footage. The quality issues are also clearly of total different nature that line issues. I know, how those look like.
I encoded in Compressor, then created in DVDSP an SD PAL project, build a menu, imported my m2v DVD video and ac3 Audio files – and build a DVD from that.
