The Sonic (Avid) DVD works great for us. When we Send To DVD Authoring from an HD project it makes great looking SD DVDs. We do this all the time. If it's really a scaling issue, we'll just downconvert through our Teranex and make DVDs from there but this works just fine. The original question was just if I could get XDCam to play in QT on a PC without having to Transcode through Avid or purchase the Calibrated Q codec.
