  5. How are you watching it? What software player or hardware setup ?

    The menu is blurry or the main video is blurry? or both ?

    Maybe you are blend deinterlacing it during playback?

  8. Well SD is going to look bad compared to HD . Consider making a blu-ray instead

    But is it blurry for SD DVD ?

    Was this a 50i project or 25p project ?

    Again, what bitrate ?

    Again, how are you playing it back? on a DVD player, software ? (if you have a blend deinterlace, it will be extra blurry - this doesn't mean the DVD is that bad, just the player is making it blurry)

  10. I suspect it's normal . Are you comparing it to HD ? SD DVD is going to be "blurry" compared to HD

    Are you watching it upscaled on a HDTV ? or in a SD frame size ?

    Can you post a sample that illustrates the problem ?

  12. Encore will use a relatively softer resizer when scaling HD => SD. You can use another application (maybe avisynth, vdub) to get sharper scaling algorithm, something like lanczos3 (or maybe Avid MC offers one, not sure) . Or add a small amount of sharpen after resizing, before encoding

    The benefit of using that script is that it also does the proper Rec709 => Rec601 conversion for SD material (colors will look slightly off on a DVD player if it's not done properly)

  14. how to with lanczos3 or spline36 resize

  15. You can do it through avisynth or vdub for example, or just use the HD2SD script. There are switches to get sharper results and you can adjust the settings. Avisynth won't work with a quicktime reference file (you need an actual video exported) . Or just apply some mild sharpening after. Eitherway it will look crappy compared to the HD version
