    Looking for a Good Commercial Software for HD to SD Problem

    Aida-filmmaker Community Member

      Hi together,

       

      I did not know the problem until this discussion forum. But now, I kow how "big" the problem is.

      When the HD footage is exported to MPEG2 DVD (or other downscaling), the results are very poor!!!

       

      The suggestions in this forum and other tools which I tested did not solve the HD to SD problem. I spent two days to test the suggestions and also some commercial tools. I think the editing software PremierePro uses a very bad downscaling algorithms so that the exported video files are useless.

       

      I tested the followinng commercial tools:

      - Wondershare Video Converter Pro

      - SnowFox Total Media Converter

      - Nidesoft HD Video Converter

      - Imtoo Video Converter Ultimate

      - HD Video Converter Factory Pro

      - 4 HD Video Converter

      - AVS Video Converter

      - Xilisoft HD Video Converter

       

      And sure, I tested HD2SD methodic with Avisynth, HC, FrameServer, DGMPGDec, VirtualDub..... The results were also very poor.

       

      Only Imtoo Video Converter Ultimate has a little bit better result which was also poor.

       

      Now, I am looking for a good commercial software for the HD to SD problem.

       

      Who can propose me a good software? Please propose if you  tested it and have a very good result.

       

      Best Regards
