I thought I understood progressive and interlaced, but now I am confused. I read conflicting information. When you use bitrate viewer, etc. most dvd's show as progressive frames. But I understood that films are stored as interlaced material so analog tv's could play them and progressive DVD players use deinterlacing chips to make progressive frames for digital tv's. I have read that my Toshiba tv has a better deinterlacer than most dvd players and I should feed it interlaced through my component. I started wondering about this when I read in dvd2dvd guide to select progressive frames in advanced area for most dvd's when making backup. So are dvd's progressive source and dvd player interlaces them for analog tv's? Or are they stored interlaced and dvd player deinterlaces for digital tvs? Another question is when you use dvd2dvd or others for film dvd's and it does the pulldown, is the movie stored on backup disc as 30 or 24 fps. If it is 24 fps, then there isn't any reverse pulldown for the dvd player to do? And if it is stored as 24 fps, does the dvd player than convert to 30 fps for analog tv's? I have a progressive dvd player, but it doesn't say in manual that it does 3:2 pulldown, but I assume this is a given with progressive players. Last question is I have my Digital TV set to do pulldown, is it ok to leave that feature on even though pulldown may be done by dvd player. Thanks
