Looking to finish up on PAL DVD.

Any user suggestions for the best use of settings please? Is dropping in a HDV 1440 50i into a 1920p preset a good idea in particular?

I'd also like to keep a HD master.

Thank you

Never put interlaced material on a progressive timeline, unless you intend to deinterlace it. Do you want 50i or 25p DVD?

David, I would go for 50i DVD , but interested in best approach to 25p DVD also.

Thanks

For 25p, deinterlace your 50i source (before placing on the timeline, you can use HDLink.) Use a 25p time.
For 50i, use a 50i timeline, no issues with your progressive sources on interlaced timelines.
