DVDA Background menu video
Hi All
I noticed this in a post by Mike Kujbida in 2008:
“If you use a background video in your menu, we recommend rendering the video in progressive-scan format before adding it to your project. On the Video tab of the Optimize DVD dialog, click the Progressive box and choose Auto to render the noncompliant menu as progressive-scan video. Progressive-scan menus will provide the sharpest-looking text and highest level of DVD player compatibility. “
I have the intro video in Vegas that I wish to use. Originally I rendered as mpeg2 DVDA widescreen PAL – as I would for the actual movie in the DVD. I then noticed that the menu intro was not that clear. Reading the above post makes sense. However, could someone point me to the exact template for progressive mpg that I would need to use please?
Many thanks
Antoine

Mike,
Why is it necessary for menu intros to be progressive, yet the movie itself has to be interlaced? And finally, now that you pointed me towards this ‘Field Order’ option, should i always use the lower field first default option when rendering a normal mpg2 movie for DVD?( My source footage is almost always .m2ts files from sony hd sr11 camera)
