DVD Architect and progressive
Any clue why the “progressive” setting in the project properties dialog is greyed out? I’ve exported a mainconcept widescreen progressive (at least I think so) video and want to make sure it burns that way from DVDA. That setting says “progressive (no)” and is unavailable to change…

The progressive setting is determined by the frame rate which is why it is grayed out. Also the project settings are only for the DVD menus. They have no bearing on the video that you place on your DVD. The DVD spec does not support progressive menus. If you switch to Blu-ray and select 24p as your frame rate the progressive setting will change to Yes.

It will only burn that way of you rendered it as 24p. That is the only progressive media that the DVD spec allows. If you rendered as 30p or 25p, DVD Architect will recompress your video to make it DVD complaint.

So there’s no way to have a progressive menu on a DVD, even if the content is 24p?
I thought it was suggested somewhere that you create progressive menus for the sake of sharp text and such…

So if I render as 30p, then drop this into DVDA, it will RE-render and change the frame rate to the 24p spec?

Not with DVD Architect. I’m not sure if the DVD spec allows it or not but DVD Architect doesn’t support it.

Yes it will re-render. 30p is not part of the NTSC or PAL DVD spec. 60i, 50i, & 24p are the only frame rates that are allowed.
