Hi Kevin, that is what I started this thread with:

ffmpeg -i HD_BARS.mov -map 0:v -vf colormatrix=bt709:bt601,scale=720:576:flags=lanczos -vcodec prores -profile:v 3 -vtag apch -vendor ap10 -f mov SD_BARS.mov

Which produces lots of tiny artefacts, hard to see normally, but easily seen when you apply a gamma filter and turn it up.
