RE: quality question

Hi there

Rather than "downconverting", converting OTA HDTV files in MPEG-2 to H.264/AVC is "transcoding". Downconverting implies somekind of reduction, presumably in spatial resolution. Transcoding implies no change in resolution, but converting from one codec to another (presumably with better compression but similar PQ).
