I remember we had to output a dual layer master before. It was a pretty intense experience. We did that about 7 months ago, and at the time the consumer dual layer burners were not able to author a disc playable on a standalone player or on a computer. We actually had to master to DLT, then send them out for mastering and replication. I do believe that the discs were +R’s. Hope that helps.

Cool, I was thinking that the scaling was the real issue, because once you pass 720 by 480, the thing is bound to fall apart. He did note that the image looked fine when the player launched at it’s regular size, but got ‘blurry’ at the point he went full screen. I just want to find a way to explain it to him because he has no knowledge of any of the technical aspects of video, so when I explain it to him in technical terms to prove my point, he dismisses it. Plus, he always thinks he’s right. I just want to be able to tell him that it’s the nature of the beast, and that it’s what we have to deal with. At the same time, I don’t want something to pop up and bite me in the ass proving me wrong. So I guess I wait for the HD tech to develop.

The thing with the player is that we do not know what kind of player the prospective client will be using when they view it. So we have to consider the fact that the person receiving the disc is using the lowest common denominator as far as a player goes. Thanks for your input.

Thanks. So if I understand the process correctly, I will de-interlace the video files, via AE or whatever preferred program, but what do I need to do in my authoring program? I’m using DVD Studio Pro 3, is there anything in that program which will allow the disc to reflect that it is de-interlaced, or will it be by default because the files I had already encoded had gone through the deinterlace process?

Thanks for the advice, I know I’d need a miracle on this one. Just needed a bit of validation so I can tell my creative director that there’s not much I could do.

Cool, that’s what I figured. I just have to convince my creative director of that. A second opinion always is nice.
