    I have access to two versions of a video. One is a high definition MKV, and the other is a SD AVI. Assuming I want to convert them to a standard DVD (720x480 29.97fps), which of them would be higher quality? The AVI is PAL. I don't know very much about HD files. For the AVI I intended to use a slightly modified version of this guide: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/241000-How-to-convert-a-PAL-DVD-to-a-NTSC-DVD-using...GEnc-Plus-2-5x.

    You can always lose quality, you cant add back quality once lost.
    IMO go from higher res/quality to lower res/quality every time.

    The electronic components of the power part adopted a lot of Rubycons.

    If you have the correct software and video knowledge, go the HD MKV to DVD rout.
    If not, then better use the avi file plus a couple of filters.

    Correct resizing is an issue here.
