That's when I have seen those lines. Will try the Compressor encode route or Sorenson, I have both. Files look great before compression. That's what is driving me crazy.

There are a bunch of places your file could be getting screwed up. going from 486 to 480 the wrong way will make weird "lines" in motion. That's not interlacing. That's a resizing issue.

Sometimes the saturation blasts me out of the room, or I see interlace artifacting or just a general fuzz that looks like crap. I am hoping some of you master encoders can help. Part of the problem is getting my head around all the various parameters to deal with. I have access to DVDSP, Encore, AE, FCP and Avid. My Avid sequence is about 18 minutes, shot HD on AVCHD at a mix of frame rates. Edited the sequence at 29.97 at 1280x720p which is the size of most of the video.

Both DVDs are SD. I will need to make both Blu-Ray and SD versions of this movie eventually. Both of the test DVDs look over-saturated, slightly fuzzy and I see interlace lines on motion shots. I know the SD will look a little fuzzy on the big screen but I am hoping for some improvement. I'm sure everyone has their own technique so I may be opening up a can of worms but: What is the workflow for the best quality final delivery? Should I export from Avid as animation QT and scale in AE, then take that QT to DVDSP? Should I be interlacing? Top or Bottom? Do I follow the standard Avid lower interlace program? Why is the saturation so cranked?
