Thank you, one and all. You are absolutely right, of course, regarding waste of space, time, effort, money… But I made a DVD and a BD (expanded within PPro, without Instant HD etc.) of an identical project and the BD looked considerably better on 3 different BD players and 2 different HD TV’s. The DVD encoding was the best possible while for BD I used Constant bitrate 18 (but again that shouldn’t matter because anything is better than the VHS material, as you pointed out). So please humor me and tell me what Sequence Preset to set up as I start a new Project?
Thanks again.
