As far as specific DNxHD codec settings, is it correct to choose:

Video
-------
Depth: Millions of Colors+
Quality: Best
Frame rate: 29.97 (origional source prior to transcode was 60i)

Audio
-------
Format: Uncompressed
Sample rate: 48kHz
Sample size: 16
Channels: 2

Prepare for Internet Streaming
------------------------------------
uncheck this

Just want to clarify for best possible end result.

Below is the origional post:

After much experimenting and deadends, we have a very succesfull path to an NTSC SD DVD from a DNxHD sequence.

Export as a QT Movie (not reference) 1920x1080 DNxHD codec, top field, RGB (this takes about 10 minutes per minute of finished footage) and does make a very big file.

Encode in Procoder 2 as a Non-interlaced source, lower or upper field M2v and Wave file.

Author with your favorite authoring program (we used DVD-Lab Pro).

The result is sharp, with great color and smooth motion.

We're still trying to see if we can use a QT reference file but those experiments are still on-going.

I believe there is some DNxHD>DVD info buried deep in these also:

if possible, stick with QT Ref instead of the huge movie file.
