Producing "broadcast quality" would be reliant to a greater part on the video inputs, i.e the way in which the video is recorded. To this end, you'll need a Professional DV camcorder - typically in excess of £2k.

At the present time, the standard for TVs in the UK is 25fps and this (probably) won't change with the introduction of HDTV. where High-definition TV will differ is the adoption of progressive rather than interlaced video and (suprise, suprise) higher resoultion want 16:9 format (widescreen).

Once you've got your "broadcast quality" video, you'll need to adhere to the DVD standard when creating your video. You'll therefore want to preserve the quality of you DV video in the conversion to MPEG2, and to do this you need a high quality encoder...
