well, may be just use DVD render but abort it at second (batchrender)
window, and render normally ?

if dvd render set scaler automatically you hopefully just can reuse its
settings for wide dv encoding?

but watch out for interlace reversal ... :( (tff for hdv, bff for dv).

So may be you need more complex hdv interlaced = to frames -> scale down
fields independently = > encode

procedure ....

If you just deinterlace then scale it will be simpler, i think. Because we
not start with upscaled interlaced SD ....
