    I'm doing the method I've mentioned above in After Effects and works perfectly for me. Don't see what all the fuss is about.

    Downscaling HD to SD does downgrade quality and resolution!

    Thing is, if you have HD footage you will play it on HD displays, HD video services like youtube and vimeo and so on (although they play 1280×576 web friendly HD).

    My need to downscale HD to SD is mostly for television broadcast. Shrinking HD footage to SD for Digital Beta. I either downscale it to 720×576 with letterbox or 1024×576 for widescreen dvd's.

    Simple.
