Re: HD to SD Workflow recommendations

To elaborate on Michael's comments about keeping the field order consistent - this is one of the reasons I switched to CS6 recently. I edit in 1080i and have never been thrilled with the end results on DVD, and have tried numerous workarounds and downconversion workflows.

Encore CS6 now supports UFF for DVDs, so I can edit my 1080i Upper Field First video clips, then export to DVD, keeping UFF throughout the process. Definitely looks better on DVD now. Note that I manually set UFF when creating the MPEG-2 for DVD assets in Adobe Media Encoder. If left to defaults, Adobe will use the standard LFF formatting for DVD.

Thanks
