I think you're going to find all the settings not very satifactory because the mpeg-2 encoder in Encore isn't the greatest. However if you don't have a budget to hire a compressionist try these settings:

• Highest Quality: 2-pass VBR Video low 1.5mbps, video avg 7mbps, video peak 9.0 mbps, Audio Dolby Digital at 384kbps. This will yield about 1.2 hours on a single layer DVD.
• If you are encoding DV material, set your fields to Lower (or Odd).
• Always keep the source framerate.
