There are SO MANY software solutions and settings to choose from. It's making me nuts! Can someone please recommend the best way/settings to covert avi files to quicktime?

So if I follow you, you're saying that if I use something like Magic Bullet Instant HD to convert my DV movie to HD, the results (when dumped to a DVD) will look virtually the same? Do you know if there's any way to 'upconvert' DV footage that already exists as an avi or mov into something of higher resolution? Also, my orginal movie is 4 x 3 with 'widescreen' bars on the top an bottom. I'm currently using FCP to 'zoom in' on the movie to creat a 16 x 9 mov. It seems to work fine.
