Does DVD support 59.94 fps progressive video?

[brassplyer]

Can you make a DVD with a 59.94 frame rate? Progressive?

[Baldrick]

Nope.

[manono]

But you can reinterlace it for DVD

Your question makes me wonder if jagabo's post might apply to you where you really don't have 59.94 fps but you have 59.94 fields per second.

[jagabo]

Baldrick and manono are correct. DVD does not support 59.95 frames per second. You can convert it to interlaced with:

AssumeTFF()
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,0,3)
Weave()

That will give you a 29.97 fps interlaced video which is DVD compliant (assuming the frame size is 720x480). Be sure to tell the MPEG 2 encoder the video is interlaced, TFF.

Will it support 29.97 progressive?

I've got video I turned into 59.97 prog with QTGMC via avisynth. I originally made a Blu-Ray disk out of it but want to make a DVD for someone who doesn't have a Blu-ray player, was wondering if I could just use that same file and avoid fooling with it further.

The reason it's an issue is they're playing it through an HDTV but using a DVD player, they don't have a Blu-Ray player. I tried making a DVD but on my Blu-Ray player and HDTV there are interlacing artifacts that are evident.

Then maybe you resized it incorrectly. Resize it after making it progressive with QTGMC and then use jagabo's script above to reinterlace it to 29.97fps.

To clarify, didn't resize it at all, just made a DVD out of the original 29.97 interlaced video capture and saw the above mentioned artifacts.

Oh, that's right, we've been through all this before. Then make it progressive and be done with it.

Upload a short sample of your source and your encoded VOB. Maybe we can tell you what you did wrong.
