    Wasn’t sure what forum to post this in…

    We have a client who has supplied some NTSC material which has been – as far as I can tell – been shot at 29.97. We are in PAL land so not so used to handling NTSC material

    This is going on a DVD (staying at NTSC). They have asked for it to be deinterlaced. Not sure why.

    I have a feeling they are muddling up deinterlacing to make Progressive and Reverse/Inverse Telecine when you take 29.97 FILM material shot at 24fps and Inverse Telecine it back to 23.98 and encode that to make NTSC progressive which when played back on a DVD player is played back as 29.97 with 3:2 pulldown except if the player can handle progressive material (as most modern players/tvs can)

    However if the material has been shot at 29.97 surely I can’t/shouldn’t apply inverse telecine and there is NO advantage in just deinterlacing.

    Or am I missing something here?
