best render settings for HDV footage to DVD

My new HD cameras shoot at that resolution.
All I do is set my project to DV widescreen, drop the footage on it, edit and render.
The settings are determined by the length of the program.
If it's 70 min. or less, I use a custom CBR of 8,000,000.
Anything longer is a 2-pass custom VBR with the settings determined by a bitrate calculator.
My favourite (and I've discussed it on numerous times) is the one found at http://www.johncline.com/bitcalc110.zip

Use the default Dolby Digital AC-3 Pro option.
The video should look like this. BTW, that's 8,000.000 in the highlighted box.

There's no tutorial that I know of but I do get into the various options in the HDV to SD-DVD render looks too soft thread
