progressive vs interlaced output question
i’m creating content to be burned onto DVD using DVD Studio. I’ve gone through and deinterlaced and massaged the footage and gotten rid of most of the jaggies and other unattractive aspects of my DV source footage. i know the steps of the whole output process and have done several projects already in this fashion, but i’ve always wondered which option i should choose when running the footage through Compressor. The footage is for wedding DVDs, non-commercial/non-broadcast use.
so, my question: should i choose “interlaced” or “progressive” when i output these vids?
thanks in advance.

If you have de-interlaced the footage then this means that you are only providing half of the video signal. 1 field. so there is no point in using a progressive output.
If you capture the DV firewire as a Progressive image and edit that image natively then you might want to output a progressive DVD.
the safest thing to do is select same as source or run a few tests on short passages and compare the compression on the tv screen. Make a slate over each one so that you know what you are watching.

thanks for the advice, David.
i’ve duplicated my footage, deinterlaced both (one odd, one even), laid one over the other and brought down the opacity of the upper-deinterlaced track. then nested that sequence into another to apply over-all filters like a widescreen matte, etc.

Why would you do this?
Where did you get advice to do this?
