  • Does 30p capture as 60i? Shot on dvx100.

    Posted by Eddie Adams on November 9, 2009 at 5:48 am

    I captured a bunch of footage shot on the dvx100 at 30p. I can tell it is progressive by viewing the footage and seeing no traces of “combing”. However, when I open the files in MediaInfo Mac — it lists the footage as “interlaced”. I’m wondering if 30p is always captured as a 60i file — or if this is just an error on MediaInfo’s side. When exporting this footage to MPEG-2 for DVD, does any special handling need to take place? I’m assuming there is no need to “de-interlace” the footage since it is shot progressive. Thanks.

    so is it safe to say that ALL shot 30p footage comes through as 29.97 because it is captured to the minidv tapes? So is 24p footage captured to minidv tapes coming across as 23.97 interlaced? What about cameras that capture 24p and 30p to P2 cards or harddrive? Are those TRUE progressive files? Thanks.
