Progressive Scan DVD questions
I have been getting decent results with the Lumiere capture process but cannot seem to get very good results with a final product on dvd. anyone have any suggestions as far as what codec to use as a final product for progressive scan dvds.

You dont really have any option regarding what "codec" to use: the DVD specification requires mpeg2 with a max bitrate of around 9000kb/s.
Or are you asking for a recommendation for a good "encoder" to produce that mpeg? If so, Mainconcept, Procoder and CCE (google for them) all produce high-quality mpeg2 encoders. |

Compressor
Morgan,
I have been getting good results using the presets in Apple Compressor to create the high quality progressive DVD output. |

Progressive scan is an option on the better quality DVD players
and needs a matching progressive scan display device for best results. Ofcourse this only works if your footage is 24/25/30p and not interlaced. DVD format basically doesn't care.
