The old Compressor 3.5.3 supposedly would convert HD files to SD compatible format. How do I do this in Compressor 4? More importantly, how do I get into a format that is compatible with DVDSP. The last time I tried a .m2v file, it was rejected - incompatible format.
Mac Pro (Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Add the 720 file. Add Output (Create DVD).
Select job. In the Inspector>Job, change Action When Done field to Do Nothing.
Select the MPEG setting and in Inspector>Video decide whether you like the stock settings – including bit rate. (I would lower them a bit myself if you need wide playability.) I would also raise the Resize Filter setting to Best.
It should do a very good job – no better, and no worse than C 3.5.
Don't know why DVD Studio Pro would reject an m2v output from Compressor. I'd need to look at the settings
Good luck.

Thanks. Everything went well, including the ability to import the m2v file into DVDSP.
HD (1280x720) files to SD (720x480) DVDSP compatible file
