LOL! DFNYC, you're harsh, but funny man!

Now seriously, it's looking like the SkyHD is going to be the best 'source', so theoretically speaking:

- H264 sourced 25fps converted to 23.98 fps AVI (Not sure if Huffy goes to 1080...) Someone on the ABHDTV.net forums who did an MPEG-2 conversion talked about Procoder doing a 'nearest' frame conversion.

- Sync with NTSC AC3 from 2004 DVD - encode a dirty 'ref' movie to sync with?

- Re-encode to H264 to fit on a DVD-9 (Or wait for HD-15 / HD-30?). I'm not sure yet whether Mainconcept H264 encoder would apply perfect 3:2 flags to a video file. Perhaps that should be done at the AVI stage?

Not ideal with the re-encoding, but unlike MPEG-2, I don't think the raw H264 would drop into an HD DVD authoring app, plus we would need to frame-rate convert.

With regards to authoring, who knows what 2007 will bring from Apple and DVDSPx, or there is the Scenarist 4 SCA route...

But what do I know, I still owe DFNYC a copy of my Indiana Jones DVD EPK Encode.
