HDV workflow in Vegas

I would like to hear some suggestions on how some of you do your HDV workflow in Vegas. I cannot seem to render a file to put on DVD that is as good as my old XL2 in SD. The HDV files look beautiful, but when I compress them to DVD, they look worse than SD in my opinion. I have tried about every type of file imaginable and I assume my problem is which codec and the settings. So, with that said, if someone could enlighten me as to the BEST way and file type and settings to get my XHA1 HDV files (M2T) to a DVD through Vegas and Architect, I would be happy as heck! I have been shooting in 24F and capturing directly through Vegas. Tried rendering in wma, avi, .mov, and mpeg2...but so many options available for each, what do you think? Thanks. J
 
You should render out to the 24p DVD Architect template (mpeg 2) and then render your audio out as .ac3. DVDA will join these two files up and there you go.
 
Should I use default settings or change the bit rates? I have tried this before and the results do not look that great from HDV...better results with an sD camera.
