[Avid-L2] SD DVD from HD Timeline

 

Looking forward to the glorious file based future and wondering how to solve
this problem.

What is the highest quality way to create a SD DVD from an HD 1080i or 1080p
timeline?

We presently go out to tape HD and re-digitize into an NTSC project letting the
deck do the downconvert. Then we export and author in a typical SD workflow.
Sometimes we will let the Symphony perform the downconvert on the way out and
lay to DigiBeta.

Both of the above produce superior results to any software scaling I have seen
via AvidDVD, Sorenson, Adobe or Canopus ProCoder.

When trying the software based approach we always get out of Composer in the
native HD resolution 1920x1080. We are not changing project type as those
results seem to be really bad (soft).

Advice? Suggestions? Because someday soon tape based solutions will not be an
option.

Perhaps there are software settings or options I am not considering.
