Re: Perfect hd to sd conversion

Eric, I just followed the explanation from one of the links you provided (http://www.precomposed.com/blog/2009/07/hd-to-sd-dvd-best-methods/), and I have to say I'm most impressed with the quality of the downscaled video from Virtualdub.

That said, there's something that I'm not sure about. I thought after reading the article, that the steps were:
1-Export from Premiere using MPEG2 I-frame.
2-Create AVS script.
3-Run Virtualdub to downscale video.
4-Run Encore to create DVD or use HC encoder.

It's actually the last step the one that confuses me a little bit. At first, I thought HC was an alternative to using Encore, but then I realized that it transforms the AVI file into m2v.

So, I still need to use Encore to create the DVD ISO?
