which HC matrix to use ?

[halsboss]

With some PAL HDTV 1920x1080i sports footage containing lots of panning and zooming around the sports-field, I hope to down-encode to SD 576i for DVD burning, whilst achieving the clearest crispest possible picture.

Which HC matrix would you recommend for very HQ crisp footage at the highest quality. Is there another you'd recommend which is still about the mark and a little faster encoding ?

I currently have these settings :-
echo on
"C:\SOFTWARE\DGindex\DGIndex.exe" -IF=[G:\HDTV\ZZZZ.ts] -OF=[G:\HDTV\ZZZZ] -IA=3 -OM=0 -EXIT
"C:\SOFTWARE\HC\HCenc_022.exe" -ini "G:\HDTV\ZZZZ-HC-CQ2.ini"

*INFILE G:\HDTV\ZZZZ-CQ2.avs
*OUTFILE G:\HDTV\ZZZZ.mpv
*INTERLACED
*TFF
*LOGFILE G:\HDTV\ZZZZ-HC-CQ2.log
*PROFILE BEST
*ASPECT 16:9
*BIAS 40
*BITRATE 9200
*MAXBITRATE 9400
*LASTIFRAME
*AUTOGOP 12
*PULLDOWN
*CLOSEDGOPS
*DC_PREC 10
*CQ_MAXBITRATE 2

Well, given the encode times here

you'd need to seriously consider the options...
