1080/50p reccomendation

[Bernhard G.]

Hello,

for renderless cut-joins You would need a to utilize a feature called
smart rendering.

CS6 supports smart rendering for DV, DVCPro, XDCam formats,
but not for AVCHD which You have. (Perhaps in CS7 ?)

Since 576p/25 isn’t standardized for DVD, the obvious solution is to convert
1080p/50 to 576i/25 thus maintaining temporal resolution.

Best regards,
Bernhard

if 576/25p isn’t standard for DVD
what’s the hype about “progressive playback” in all modern DVD players ?

[Bernhard G.]

Video on a DVD is always interlaced, even if the source was progressive.

Those DVD players are able to read a flag in the datastream
that tells them, that the two stored fields belong to a single frame.

Problems:
– only few authoring apps could set the flag

– DVD players need to be connected via RGB or HDMI
that reading the flag makes sense at all by passing the
progressive image to the TV.

Thanks for clarifying how strict DVD standard is.

Back to my main question. What kind of exporting is your proposal for retaining most of the detail 1080/50p 4:2:0 has to offer while not spending too much space.
