  DVD output from 24fps HD video using Cineform?

  Posted by Mark Weaver on October 8, 2007 at 4:49 pm

  Hello again,
  I am continuing my work on developing a flow to get
  quality DVDs from an HVX200.

  * Presently I am capturing 720PN24 and using HDLink to
  convert the files to a Cineform format. Project is a
  1280x720p PAR=1.0 Cineform project setup.

  * I edit using this project and then output using Adobe
  Media Encoder. Setting are 23.976fps, progressive video,
  PAR=1.2(widescreen). Quality=3. Output resolution=720×480.

  Problem is that when I view the DVD video on a regular
  TV(my test setup) I see horrible edges during movements.
  For example, if an actor is walking across the screen in
  a Full shot, the odd/even scan lines are not aligned
  correctly. It looks alot like I have mis-aligned fields,
  but the video is rendered progressive.

  So, am I doing something wrong? Is the above method the
  recommended flow for creating high quality DVDs from
  progressive video? I have checked the Cineform FAQ, but
  the recommendation is to create an intermediate
  cineformHD file then compress to MPEG. This introduces
  one more compression cycle that I’d like to avoid.

  Really all suggestions are welcome.

  Thanks

  MBW
