Wow.....14 hours to encode on handbrake using that filter..
And I have a pretty high end machine....LOL
I will let you know what it looks like.

You already know the problem. You originally had 60 interlaced fields. You now want 30 progressive frames. This is best done with handbrake.
You can always edit the mpeg-2 720x480/60i, add titles, or whatever and use intelligent svrt on the PD15 produced files before the conversion with handbrake.
Oh I like this idea a lot! Thank you.
I had no idea what Intelligemt SVRT was until you mentioned it and I looked it up.
Sounds like exactly what is needed.
Thanks again!

OK...thanks!! Will try that in HB but I am really looking for a "best" production setting in PD15.
I want to add a simple title to each video produced and HB doesn't edit....so correct me if I'm wrong but won't PD15 just re-render any Handbrake video I insert in during PD15's production phase.
I was under the impression that the more content is redered the greater the loss in quality.

Haven't gotten any replies but went over to the Handbrake Forum and got some help and have been "experimenting."
So far....best I have been able to produce uses this preset:
Apple Devices
iPad
640x480p 30 2mbps
They play nicely on both iPhone and iPad and a 2 hours worth of video renders out at approx 1.9 GB.
The quality almost matches the source....not quite....sometimes the scenes are a tad blurry from thei devices upscaling.
I'd like to get them a bit sharper without just huge file sizes.
Handbrake Forum suggests settting the render to 720x480p 30 with a Bit Rate around 2 mbps but I have not figured out how to make that setting in PD15 yet.

Hello. Am a PowerDirector15 user fairly new to the forum and have researched till I am blue in the face. Thought I'd ask some experts. I have 8 DVDs of Home Movies of my family (16 mm film) that were converted years ago to DVD format and display at aspect ratio of 4:3. Each DVD has a play time of approx 2 hours.
VLC tells me they are:
Codec Mpeg 2 (mpgv)
Resolution 720x480
Display Resolution 720x480
Frame Rate 29.970029
Decoded Format Planar 4:2:0 YUV
I no longer have access to the source 16mm film and to be frank...even if I did it may be unrecoverable because of storage issues in my sister's house and some water damage. So I'm stuck with the DVD's as my best source material.
My entire family and relatives have all basically joined the "Apple Ecosystem" and all have iPads and iPhones. And since I am retired now my family has appointed me head movie maker and wants these movies on their iPads.
Hence, I want to create digital MP4s of each one of these disks. I have experimented with several of the different PowerDirector presets (Apple Device iPad and some different H264 custom settings, etc) but feel I am missing something as the video quality of the DVD is rather good when viewed on my PC, from the straight .vob files during PowerDirecter15 editing......but when I have converted the quality degrades, a lot of fuzzy and blurry.
I'd like to get close to those original .vob files in quality and try to keep the files smaller than 3 GB each if possible. What do you feel the BEST possible production settings would be for this type of video conversion to iPad??
Any help/advice most appreciated.

Same experience----I am trying to get the trial to open on a Win 7 64 bit machine and it just crashes----won't even open.
Windows events error logs shows that the faulting module is atig6txx.dll Which I'm sure relates to ATI video drivers.
Faulting application name: PDR9.exe, version: 9.0.0.2504, time stamp: 0x4d220481
