    DVD authoring – interlaced or progressive

    Posted by Ollie Parke on August 4, 2011 at 1:57 am

    Hi,

    I author DVDs as interlaced from footage that is shot as interlaced. I always understood this to be the best and most compatible way to do things.

    In 2011 with nearly everyone having a HDTV or upscaling DVD/blu-ray – should I be encoding all my DVDs progressive?

    Cheers,
    Ollie

    Hi Oli,
    I wouldn´t do this as you loose 1/2 picture-informations as it needs be de-interlaced.

    progressive is only interesting if you need to produce a DVD for computers only, and they can also do a deinterlacing.

    we are still broadcasting interlaced 1080i60 for US and 1080i50 for europe. I know the europeen roadmap from EBU (europeen broadcasting union) has declared they want to switch to 1080p50 broadcasting within the next 10 years – so you still have time to think about it! 😉

    cheers
