Hi Jeff,

This is a screenshot from the XDCAM source:

It is progressive and looks good.

This is a screenshot from the HDV source:

It is interlaced but still detail is acceptable and looks good on TV monitor.

This is a screenshot from the rendered project (split screen of both sources):

As you can see the HDV part on the right lost detail and looks pretty bad.

I did convert the HDV video to 1920×1080, 25.000 fps before importing in the project. I did it in Sony Vegas 10. I used project template “HDV 1080-60i (1440×1080, 29.970 fps)” and render template “Blu-ray 1920×1080-50i”. Since the same render template is used for the final project, I assumed the HDV part is NOT re-compressed one more time (just cropped).

I was hoping I can find some good tutorial for achieving best results when converting from HDV 1080-60i to Blu-ray 1920×1080-50i.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
