Thanks for the advice. I’d really like to understand this issue better, can you recommend any particular book on progressive vs. interlacing?

Thanks guys, I figured on those solutions but I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a better way of achieving that look.

Thanks for the info everybody. This looks like it might do the trick (SE500 NTSC version though). I don’t think it will be cost prohibitive to purchase one. That being said, is there any major problems to setting it up the way I explained in my post, by running both the dvd and the live news feed off the desktop into the plasma. I haven’t done any testing so far so I don’t know if my concerns are valid. I know this is a bit of a duct tape solution, and I think the switcher is the way to go, but clients are always worried about extra costs. Just so I can say I’ve explored all options and this is the only viable one. Thanks.

Thanks alot. Any idesas where I could find these switchers, brand names, etc?

Thanks anyway Peter. Looks like it’ll have to be rotoscoped by hand.
