Re: HDV or DV for SD DVD?

I tried a bunch of different codecs and WMV9 didn't look quite as good when compared to H.264. That was the best with the least compression artifacts. WM9 still looked pretty good and would be fine for 99% of uses.

Just export out of FCP as Export with QT Conversion. Set compression to 'Best'. Then, Encoding to 'Multi-pass'. Under 'Size', manually set it to your sequence frame size, 1280x720 etc.

The sound settings are important, if the 'Format' is not set to 'ACC', the WD box won't play it. (That took a bit of testing to get it right) I set it to ACC, 48K, Render quality to 'Best' and bring up the Target Bit rate to '192'.

You can also use Apple Compressor or even an after-market compression program. I had great results with Telestream 'Episode' too.

My best suggestion is to export a short segment first for testing, instead of trying the full program. It's pretty fast to export/compress a 10 sec clip and load it into the WD Player.
