    There is absolutely no reason what so ever than down scaling your video should lose quality I do this all day every day and have never ever had an issue when downscaling. In either AE motion Final cut quicktime pro episode pro in fact in any application I have used.

    You are missing something fundamental in your downscaling process. Make sure field dominance is the same for your SD as it is for your HD make sure all your quality switches are set to best make sure your pixel aspect ratio is correct etc. etc. It is exactly like downscaling a jpg in photoshop it should never ever lose quality.
