DVD HQ renders to the maximum kps.
DVD parameters are the same for all DVD rendered video - it doesn't change greatly. It isn't a multi-pass render, nor does it have to be.
The codec used to render to Mpeg is a popular codec found in many software products.
DVavi file footage is of a distinctly higher quality than an mpeg file and uses substantially more MB and GB to store the data.
Pixelation of an image does occur unfortunately and this can be noticeable when rendering from a lower quality video and viewed on a monitor - but when viewed on a TV the difference is not.
Video captured from a lower end video camera using only one CCD and to a DVavi file will not output a better image than a video recorded by a 3 CCD DVavi camera and output as a HQ DVD.
Basically what you start with does effect what you finish up with - capture at best render to best is always a best can option. Three "b" scenario.
The trial version does represent the PD6 program and it is very hard to interpret your results when not having the camera nor site of the results.
You've made a comment about "grass" - which I smile at. The BBC show football matches (soccer to the US) that have been recorded to DVD quality - just look at the pixel/blockiness of their grass - it is a problem for all video broadcasters - colour variations causing colour display distortions on screen.
Chosing the transition, the length of transition, and the clip it is being applied to is a decision a video editor has to make. I personally opt to use the trusty reliable Fade as my preferred transition - I look to display video as a Streaming video file and I'm aware of the limitations this places on video.
