Lou, very sorry for the long delay in reply. Yes, I have deinterlaced & resized to 720x480 in the same AE comp then rendered out. Then I've taken that rendered file & made the DVD MPEGs in Compressor using one of the presets. Let us know when you find something that works for you.

In my case, I typically work with 1080i in Symphony 6, export ProRes 1080i, deinterlace (I've been using BCC Deinterlace, which can be painful in rendering duration) and resize to 720x480, encode with DVD presets in Compressor, then straight to DVD Studio Pro. It's a ridiculous method, it seems, but it's worked well. I'd love to know others' recipes, too.

I never saw the end result, though, so I can't say one way or the other.

I have Sorenson, compressor, Adobe Media Encoder, I use DVD studio pro and Adobe Encore. But I am never quite happy with either titles or motion or something. I am always working with 1080 and going to SD DVD. Clients never want Blu Ray. Today for instance, the lower thirds look crisp, yet my opening title created in AE (16bit project) white titles moving over black, look pixelated and just not crisp. I export my timeline as prores 422, then take to compressor and also encoded in Squeeze but the squeeze version did not have smooth motion on the action. So Compressor was the one to go with, but then the title looks a little pixelated. Has anyone found the right combo of codecs, encoders and burners to make really good quality DVDs? Or even a really good preset for Compressor or Squeeze that would help keep quality up. I admit that compression is not my thing so I am looking for a good recipe.
