I've edited a few small films onto dvds and the quality seems to decrease significantly (besides the fact that it isn't HD...thats expected). Some older films I did with an HVX seemed to translate on both HDTVs and tube TV's a lot better......I have a feeling I could be getting better quality dvds made from the footage that I have shot...(even SD footage doesn't end up quite as good as it could be when I burn dvds)..just seeing if anyone can guide me to a better way of exporting to disc

In FCP I edit my files as XDCAM EX 1080P 24, and then send to compressor. In compressor I pretty much just use the preset "DVD Best quality 90 MIN" (mpeg-2 6.2 mbps 2-pass)...and then from that file and the Dolby file I write to disc in dvd studio pro. Would it change anything if I worked in Pro Res or would this just be bad compression?

Thanks
 
Use Compressor to encode SD M2V stream and USE Frame controls
Resize filter on BEST.

It will give you the best possible HD to SD scaling
